Beau Greaves captured a record third Women’s World Matchplay title with a 6-5 victory over Fallon Sherrock. The dramatic final went the distance. Greaves closed out the match on her second championship dart to secure the Blackpool victory.
The 11th leg offered a masterclass in heavy scoring. Both women threw a 180 and a 140-plus visit down the stretch. Greaves stepped up to the oche and sank a winning 56 checkout.
The statistics reflect a razor-thin margin. Greaves averaged 88.63. She tallied three maximums during the contest. Sherrock actually out-scored her opponent in the treble 20 bed. She landed five 180s and finished with an 87.84 average.
A Historic Run
This result extends an incredible streak for the champion. Greaves previously established a 114-match win streak on the PDC Women’s Series. She also made history as the first woman to throw a nine-dart finish on the Pro Tour.
Meanwhile, the defeat brings another harsh finish for Sherrock. She claimed the inaugural Matchplay trophy in 2022. Now, she walks away with her third consecutive loss in a Winter Gardens final.
