ASHTON OPENS HER ACCOUNT IN 2024! 🏆 Lisa Ashton secures her 16th PDC Women's Series title with a convincing 5-1 victory over Aileen de Graaf in the Event 11 final! It's a welcome return to winning ways for the Lancashire star! 👏 📺 bit.ly/PDCTVLive
Lisa Ashton won the eleventh tournament of the PDC Women's Series on Sunday afternoon. The Englishwoman was too strong for Aileen de Graaf in the final to win her first Women's Series title of the season.
Ashton had first qualified for the quarterfinals of Women' Series 11 after wins over Denise Cassidy (4-2), Chris Savvery (4-3), Angela Kirkwood (4-2) and Kirsi Viinikainen (4-2). She then defeated top favorite Beau Greaves in the last eight 5-3.
In the semi-final, 'The Lancashire Rose' faced Rhian Sullivan and the Welsh player was defeated 5-4. In the final, Aileen de Graaf was the opponent after her wins over Lorraine Winstanley (4-1) and Noa-Lynn van Leuven (5-2), among others. However, the final was a 5-1 win for Ashton.
If at least 128 players participate, the PDC Women's Series participants will be awarded prizes from the last 64, with fifty pounds for reaching this round. If there are fewer than 128 players, the counter only starts running from the last 32. In that case they do collect one hundred pounds.
This amount eventually keeps increasing. A final place already earns 1,000 pounds anyway. The winner of the tournament receives 2,000 pounds in prize money. The number one of the final ranking gets to compete at the Grand Slam of Darts and the World Darts Championship, while the number two also gets to compete at Alexandra Palace.
