Greaves Reaches Incredible Milestone
Beau Greaves has once again demonstrated her remarkable supremacy in the women’s game, securing her 59th title in what was her 100th appearance on the PDC Women’s Series last weekend. The statistic underscores a period of sustained dominance that is almost without parallel.
The numbers behind the achievement are exceptional. Winning 59 of 100 tournaments entered gives Greaves a victory rate of almost six in every ten events she plays. This consistency has made her the player to beat on the circuit for several years, a challenge her rivals have consistently found difficult to overcome.
Van der Voort Recalls Bristow Confrontation
In a look back at a memorable on-stage encounter, Vincent van der Voort has shared details of a clash with the late Eric Bristow. The Dutchman faced the five-time BDO world champion during the twilight of the Englishman’s career, winning their match 3-0.
According to Van der Voort, Bristow was clearly unhappy with the defeat. Known for his forthright personality and sharp remarks in his pomp, Bristow approached the Dutchman after the match, leading to what Van der Voort described as a peculiar situation involving macho posturing. It serves as a reminder of the unique character that Bristow brought to the sport for so many years.

The 24-year-old Dutchman can reflect on a positive campaign, having reached the quarter-finals in both the Australian Darts Masters and the New Zealand Darts Masters. Van Veen’s runs to the last eight at both events underlined his growing form on the international circuit.
