Fallon Sherrock made history on Tuesday as the first woman to ever win a match in the male-dominated Professional Darts Corporation world championship.
Darts, a traditional pub game, is also played professionally. In face-off matches, players begin with 501 points and compete to be the first to bring that total to zero by successfully hitting parts of the dart board worth a range of points.
“I’m absolutely over the moon. I mean, I can’t believe I’ve just made history,” Sherrock, 25, said in an interview with the Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) after the first-round match in London, saying she had dreamed of winning but never thought it would happen. “I’m so speechless. I’m just so, so happy and I’m so proud of myself for what I’ve just done.”
Sherrock defeated Ted Evetts, 22, with a score of 3-2. Evetts congratulated Sherrock on her win. “Enjoy it all, more than deserved,” he said in a tweet. “Well done on making history.”
