GREAVES MAKES HISTORY WITH PROTOUR NINE-DARTER

By Phil Lanning

BEAU GREAVES admitted she “couldn’t believe” making history as the first-ever female to hit a perfect leg on the PDC ProTour.

The Doncaster star hit the nine-darter in the 6-5 win over Mensur Suljovic in round one in Leicester on Wednesday. 

Greaves, 22, was playing in only her sixth Players Championship since winning a tour card for the 2026 campaign. 

She said: “I couldn’t believe I’d hit it! I just about hit the treble 19 and then I was quite confident that the double 12 was going in.

“I couldn’t stop smiling because I couldn’t wait to tell my dad, even though I knew he’d be watching it.

“I’ve narrowly missed hitting one a few times to it was nice to finally hit one. It’s nice to be the first woman to hit one on the PDC ProTour, I’m glad it was on the stream as well.

“It was hard to get back into the game after I’d hit it, I was shaking afterwards. It was nerve-wracking but I managed to get the win in the end.

“I’m enjoying my start to life on the PDC ProTour, I’ve been struggling in patches with a bit of tension in my throw, but I am playing well and enjoying it.

“You’re playing the best players in the world so if you lose a game, it’s just a case of your opponent playing better than you on the day.”

Greaves eventually lost out 6-3 to David Sharp in round three.

The only previous televised PDC nine-darter by a woman in major competition was Fallon Sherrock in the Challenge Tour in 2023.
