Eat, sleep, win a PDC Women’s Series event, repeat. That might as well be the official life motto of Beau Greaves.
The Doncaster phenomenon continues to hoover up trophies at the same speed reporters scramble around for fresh superlatives to describe her dominance.
This past weekend in Milton Keynes – a place most people associate with endless roundabouts and regrettable fast-food decisions – Greaves once again made it her personal playground. Four tournaments. Four titles.
For everyone else it was confusion and frustration; for Beau, it was business as usual. Saturday morning, she set the tone. After brushing aside Aileen de Graaf and Gemma Hayter, Greaves found herself facing Fallon Sherrock in a cracking final. Both players averaged into the 90s, but as so often, Beau got to the finish line first, sealing it 5–3.
A quick breather, possibly involving chicken wings across the car park, and she was back on stage to do it all again.
This time the order was shuffled, but the outcome was the same: a 5–1 win over Hayter in the semis followed by a 5–2 victory over De Graaf in the final. Two down, two to go.
If anyone thought she might ease up on Sunday, they clearly don’t know Beau. Into the quarter-finals, she was tested to the limit by newly crowned Matchplay champion Lisa Ashton. In a Yorkshire-versus-Lancashire darting duel, the white rose nicked it in a last-leg decider.
From there, it was carnage. A semi-final against Jade Gofford saw Greaves average a staggering 107.36 – the kind of number that makes seasoned pros mutter under their breath – before dismantling Sherrock again, this time 5–1. Three down, one to go.
By the time the fourth event rolled around, the air of inevitability was thick enough to slice with a dart flight. Sure, she looked a touch tired, but even running on fumes Beau was too good. A solid win over Rebecca Allen set things up before another tight battle with De Graaf in the semi-final.
Then, with Lisa Ashton in the final, Greaves kept her composure, wrapping up a 5–3 win and completing the clean sweep.So here we are: another weekend, another Beau masterclass. At just 21, she’s making the Women’s Series look like a weekly training exercise.
The order of merit tells the story: Greaves out in front on nearly £30k, miles ahead of Sherrock (£11,900), Ashton, and Noa-Lynn van Leuven.There are four events left this season in Wigan come October.
Which means the rest of the field has two months to practice, pray, or possibly construct little Beau Greaves voodoo dolls. Short of tying her right arm behind her back, nobody seems capable of stopping her.
