Beau Greaves Hits First Women's Nine-Darter on PDC ProTour
Twenty-two-year-old darts player Beau Greaves just made history by becoming the first woman to throw a perfect nine-dart finish on the PDC ProTour. The Doncaster athlete couldn't believe she'd finally achieved what she'd come so close to hitting several times before.
Beau Greaves had dreamed of this moment, and when it happened Thursday in Leicester, she could barely process it.
The 22-year-old British darts player threw back-to-back perfect 180s in her match against Mensur Suljovic at Players Championship 6. Then she finished with treble 20, treble 19, and double 12 to complete the perfect 141 checkout, becoming the first woman ever to hit a nine-dart finish on the PDC ProTour.
"I couldn't believe I'd hit it," Greaves said after the historic moment. "I've narrowly missed hitting one a few times, so it was nice to finally hit one."
A nine-dart finish is darts' equivalent of a perfect game in bowling or a hole-in-one in golf. It requires hitting the absolute maximum score possible in just nine throws, a feat so rare that even professional players go entire careers without achieving it.
Greaves didn't just make history and walk away. She went on to win the match 6-5 in a nail-biting final-leg decider, proving the moment didn't shake her focus.
Why This Inspires
Greaves has been dominating the Women's Series circuit for years, but this achievement on the main PDC ProTour cements her place in darts history books. The Doncaster native has already proven she can compete with anyone, having beaten rising star Luke Littler on her way to the World Youth Championship final.
Her December appearance at the PDC World Darts Championship showed she belongs on the biggest stages. Though she lost a close first-round match to Daryl Gurney, she earned respect for her composure under pressure.
Breaking barriers in a traditionally male-dominated sport takes more than skill. It takes determination, resilience, and the ability to perform when everyone's watching.
At just 22 years old, Greaves is already rewriting what's possible for women in professional darts. Her perfect leg proves that excellence knows no gender, only dedication and talent.
This historic nine-darter is just the beginning of what promises to be a groundbreaking career.
