Darts sensation Beau Greaves once again proved why she is the player to beat, delivering a stunning performance on the first day of the final PDC Women’s Series weekend. Her remarkable achievement of winning both Event 21 and Event 22 in Wigan not only showcased her unparalleled skill but also significantly extended her lead at the summit of the Women’s Series rankings.
Event 21: A Masterclass Performance
Greaves was in truly ruthless form throughout Event 21. Her path to victory included a dominant semi-final clash against rival Fallon Sherrock, where Greaves delivered a stunning 5-0 whitewash. This meant Sherrock failed to register a single leg against the formidable Greaves.
In the final, Greaves faced a resilient Vicky Pruim. Despite Pruim’s determined efforts, Greaves ultimately secured the title with a 5-3 victory. Her winning average of 84.50 against Pruim’s 78.34 highlighted her consistent high-level play.
Other notable performances in Event 21 included:
- Vicky Pruim’s impressive journey, which saw her narrowly defeat darts legend Lisa Ashton 5-4 in a high-quality quarter-final, before overcoming Kirsi Viinikainen 5-2 in the semi-finals.
- Greaves’ own quarter-final against Rhian O’Sullivan, where she achieved an outstanding three-dart average of 101.55 in another convincing 5-0 win.
- Fallon Sherrock reaching the semi-finals by beating Gemma Hayter 5-4.
Event 22: Securing the Double
Without missing a beat, Greaves returned later in the day to complete her second triumph. In Event 22, she once again navigated the competition with skill and precision, culminating in a final showdown against Gemma Hayter.
Greaves maintained her composure and powerful throwing to defeat Hayter 5-3, claiming yet another title. This victory further cemented her reputation as the dominant force in women’s darts and added crucial points to her Order of Merit tally.
Dominance and World Championship Dreams
With these two victories, Beau Greaves’ lead at the top of the Women’s Series Order of Merit is now immense. She stands clear with a staggering £37,200 total. The stakes for the final weekend are incredibly high, as the top three players at the conclusion of all events will earn automatic qualification for the prestigious 2027 PDC World Darts Championship.
Currently, the race for these coveted spots looks like this:
- 1st: Beau Greaves – Substantially ahead, virtually guaranteed her spot.
- 2nd: Lisa Ashton
- 3rd: Fallon Sherrock
While Greaves’ qualification seems assured, the battle for the remaining two spots promises to be fierce on Sunday. Another outstanding day’s work from the game’s most exceptional women’s player has set the stage for a thrilling conclusion to the PDC Women’s Series.
