English darts player Beau Greaves, 22, has become the first woman to win a PDC (Professional Darts Corporation) ranking tournament competing against men, claiming the Players Championship 11 title in Milton Keynes, England. She defeated former world champion Michael Smith 8–7 in the final, having also beaten ex-world champions Rob Cross and Gary Anderson on her way to the title. The victory marks a historic milestone at the sport's highest level: PDC ranking results determine qualification for major tournaments, and Greaves now moves to 79th on the open standings — adding to a dominant year in which she has already won seven women's tour events.
