Beau Greaves wins first match on PDC Pro Tour after spectacular end to match against Josh Rock
PDCWednesday, 12 February 2025 at 10:28
Beau Greaves won a match on the PDC Pro Tour for the first time in her career on Tuesday. With a 6-5 victory over Josh Rock, she qualified for the second round of Players Championship 2.
Greaves makes her debut on the PDC Pro Tour this week. In January, she won two of the first five Challenge Tour tournaments, putting her at the top of the Challenge Tour Order of Merit. That position allows her to compete as an alternate in the Players Championship tournaments when one or more Tour Card holders fail to register or cancel.
On Monday at Players Championship 1, she already played a good match, but then lost 6-4 to Owen Bates. The draw for Tuesday's tournament produced a duel with former World Youth Champion Rock, but Greaves brought the match to a successful conclusion.
A 17-darter and a 13-darter gave Greaves a 2-0 lead early in the match and a 13-darter later made it 3-2 for the Englishwoman. Rock then took three legs in a row to lead 5-3 after eight legs.
Then Greaves began her comeback. After Rock missed a matchdart on the bullseye, Greaves narrowed the deficit to 5-4 with a 16-darter. Then the world's best women's dart player conjured a 12-darter and an 11-darter from her arsenal to win 6-5. In addition, Greaves also posted a stunning 102.77 average thanks to six 180 scores.

- Simple really if you have darts and sports best interests at heart rather than trying to be an entertainment circus focused on business. Scrap the Premier League and the World Series bring back the Las Vegas Desert Classic and the US Open and making them ranking. Have a similar model to tennis with the four Majors and Masters events. If the BDO and now the WDF could organise World tournaments it should not be beyond the PDC. Of course Barry wants to make ‘loads a money’ of the backs of the players so thats the main imperative.Mysstree21-05-2025
- The statement from Hearn that "People will be able to watch what they want to watch, the sports they want to watch, when they want to watch it and for a price they can afford" is bizarre. Sport only works when it is shown live - very few people pull a 'Likely Lads' and try to avoid a result so they can watch highlights later. And if darts disappears off free to air ITV, it certainly won't go to the BBC, who couldn't afford it, even if they were interested. So, that leaves Channel 4 or maybe Channel 5. More likely the ITV package will go to someone like Netflix and the rest stay with Sky. There won't actually be any free to air darts at all.StraightArrowNoBull06-05-2025
- Yes, he can't look good in a football shirt. Good god, couldn't they find a better fitting shirt.richieburnettrocks04-05-2025
- ITV coverage is far superior to SKY It is excellent, always very interesting from an extremely knowledgeable team. I love Chris Mason, Jacqui, Alan and Ned, brilliant presenters and so enjoyable. ITV are also losing their absolutely fantastic Tour de France coverage. They do not get enough credit for the fantastic job they do. What the fudge do BBC do with darts? They let go of the Lakeside and that really helped with sinking the BDO.richieburnettrocks04-05-2025
- Under the tutelage of the Hearns who think they are a law unto themselves when it comes to Sport, so does Porter. Under UK law a woman is now defined by biology therefore that makes Van Leuvan a man in the eyes of the law and should not be playing in womens competitions, entering changing rooms, toilets, etc.Mysstree02-05-2025
- I was always a fan of Rocky, another one of my heroes banished never to return....unless he changes his name to Anne. Andy didn't need to fix matches, he is a good player and wealthy. It sounds like too many people were involved in the bets, and it rather suitably circumstantial. Richie Gardiner has heat with Rocky. How can anyone predict where a player will throw a dart, I purposely avoided hitting 180 when I played as the organisation would pay £10 for each 180 hit to a charity I refused to contribute to. Modus is played in Portsmouth anyway. I've met Rocky many times and thank him for the great matches and memories....unless can he play in the WDFrichieburnettrocks01-05-2025
- Surely then as darts is ‘your job’ then do your job and less exhibitions even if they pay more, or retire and do the exhibition circuit. Appreciate that exhibitions are gauranteed income, you get your fee. Still say scrap the Premier League and even out the season, its only eight of the top guys who lose anything money wise and its not like they are struggling for income.Mysstree29-04-2025
- It was probably the DRA booing, anything to extract money out of the players.richieburnettrocks21-04-2025
- What do you mean WAS the best darts player in the world, Richie Burnett is still the greatest darts player in the world. If you ever need financial assistance, Richie, call me. I think radiator water is probably more appealing than the actual pot noodlerichieburnettrocks20-04-2025
- I agree! It would be the best if the aforementioned ban were to be imposed. Hope is a good thing, Mysstree.MrYnyslas197119-04-2025
