Steve Beaton managed to qualify for the German Darts Open via the Tour Card qualifier on Thursday. During the qualifier 'The Bronzed Adonis' also posted a bizarre high average.
The 58-year old threw an average of 118.19 in his match against Jon Worsley. In this match the Englishman threw three 12-darters and an 11-darter.
Never before has a player aged 55 or over thrown an officially registered average of over 115 during a PDC tournament, according to Darts Orakel. Beaton put an end to that on Thursday night.

- There are 30 Players Championship rounds to play first throughout the year and you have to be in the top 64 to get to the finals.
