BEAU GREAVES won her second Winmau Development Tour title in as many days to continue her glorious start to 2025.
‘Beau n Arrow’ has made history as the first player to top the rankings in the Development Tour, Challenge Tour, and Women’s Series Order of Merits simultaneously.
The 21-year-old secured two Winmau Challenge Tour titles in Milton Keynes last month and followed it up with back-to-back Women’s Series victories in Leicester last weekend.
Greaves and Bialecki each claimed a title in Friday’s opening double-header, before the Women’s World Matchplay champion secured another title at Arena MK on Saturday.
The Doncaster darter began her Event Two campaign with a commanding 4-1 victory over Kyle Manton, averaging a remarkable 100 in the process.
She followed up with a dominant whitewash win against Alfie Cox before producing a stunning 103.89 average in a 4-1 thrashing over Davey Cole.
Her toughest challenge came in a narrow 4-3 victory over Brad Phillips, but Greaves quickly regained momentum with convincing wins over Cayden Smith and Lennart Faes.
A resounding 5-0 win against Adam Gawlas secured her place in the semi-finals, where she eased past Daniel Perry 5-1 before sealing the title with a 5-3 victory over Levy Frauenfelder.
After early victories over Jenson Walker and Lewis Gurney in Event Four, Greaves edged past Belgium’s Lennert Faes and Germany’s Dominik Gruellich in last-leg deciders, battling back from 3-0 down against the latter.
Women’s World No.1 Greaves then overcame Mitchell Leeming and Liam Maendl-Lawrance to book a semi-final showdown with Danny Jansen, where she avenged her Event Three defeat to the Dutchman in style, averaging a brilliant 100.76 in a commanding 5-2 win.
In the Event Four final, Greaves faced James Beeton and capped off a magnificent campaign with another 5-2 triumph, securing her sixth PDC title of the year.
Three-time Lakeside champion Greaves will now set her sights on strengthening her position at the top of the Development Tour Order of Merit as the opening weekend wraps up with Event Five on Sunday.
The top two ranked players on the 2025 Development Tour Order of Merit will earn a PDC Tour Card for the 2026-27 season and a spot in the 2025/26 Paddy Power World Darts Championship.
