First woman to win a darts ranking title beats three ex-world champions in a row
Beau Greaves has made darts history by becoming the first woman to win a ProTour title.
She did it the hard way too.
The 22-year-old Greaves beat three former world champions in a row at the Players Championship in Milton Keynes.
She edged Rob Cross 6-5 in the last eight, knocked out two-time world champ Gary Anderson 7-1 in the semifinals, and won a nail-biting final against Michael Smith 8-7 with a stunning 142 check-out.
She says “I’ve had a great year but I never thought I’d win one of these.
Never, ever.”
