Bo Greaves won the PDC Challenge Tour for the first time in his career.
In the first tier two event of the year at Milton Keynes, featuring non-PDC Tour cardholders attending 2,025 qualifying schools, Greaves impressively won the final three legs of the final against Switzerland’s Stephane Belmont for a 5-4 victory.
Noa-Lynn van Leeuwen was the first woman to win a Challenge Tour darts event last March.
Greaves had earlier beaten Michael Unterbuchner 5-3 in the semi-finals and Henry Coates 5-1 in the quarter-finals, finishing with an average of 90 in all nine of his matches at the event.
Former Premier League players Simon Whitlock and Mervyn King were knocked out in the quarter-finals, while Fallon Sharrock was knocked out early in the last round of 128.
Challenge Tour 2 follows later on Friday at the same Arena MK venue.
The Challenge Tour calendar includes 24 events in 2025, with the top two players in the year-end Medal of Merit securing 2026-27 PDC Tour cards and places in the World Darts Championship.
Medal of Honor allocations are also used to select reserve players for Players Championship events when ProTour players withdraw from tournaments.
Greaves, Sherrock, Whitlock and King were among the notable names to miss the Tour Cards Last weekend at Q-School in Milton Keynes.
