Beau Greaves Hits First Womens Nine-Darter on PDC ProTour

Beau Greaves made darts history on Wednesday by becoming the first woman to achieve a nine-dart finish on the PDC ProTour, stunning the crowd during her Players Championship 6 match against Mensur Suljovic at the Mattioli Arena in Leicester.

The 22-year-old from Doncaster produced the perfect leg in the third set of their second-round encounter, which she ultimately won 6-5 in a final-leg decider. After opening with two consecutive 180s, Greaves needed 141 on her third visit. She pinned a treble 20, followed by a treble 19 and double 12 to complete the feat, leaving Suljovic visibly impressed as he bowed in respect and offered a handshake.

"I couldn't believe I'd hit it," Greaves said afterward. "I just about hit the treble 19 and then I was quite confident that the double 12 was going in. I've narrowly missed hitting one a few times, so it was nice to finally hit one. It's nice to be the first woman to hit one on the PDC ProTour." She added that the achievement left her shaking, making it hard to refocus, though she composed herself to secure the victory and advance to the last 32.
