Fallon Sherrock was the first female player to win a match at the PDC World Championships
Fallon Sherrock became the first woman to hit a nine-dart finish in PDC history in her opening round victory at the Winmau Challenge Tour Event Nine.
England's Sherrock, 28, defeated Marco Verhofstad 5-3 in Hildesheim, Germany.
She took a 3-0 lead with her perfect leg of 180, 180 and 141, going on to wrap up the win with a 92 average.
It marks further history for Sherrock after she became the first female player to win a match at the PDC World Championships in 2019.
She exited the event in the last 16 following a 5-3 defeat by Christian Kist.
The Challenge Tour features non-PDC Tour card holders who attended Q School in 2023.
Sherrock narrowly missed out on earning a maiden PDC Tour card after defeat in the last 64 of Q School in January.
