Fallon Sherrock produced a stunning upset at a Netflix-organised darts event in Manchester on Friday, defeating world number one Luke Littler and claiming a prize of £501,000.
The event, titled "Beat Luke Littler," gave 24 amateur darts players the chance to compete against the 19-year-old English star in a single leg. Littler had been in formidable form, winning all 14 of his matches before Sherrock stepped up as the final challenger.
Sherrock, known as the "Queen of the Palace," earned the right to throw first after winning a bullseye shootout, and she made the advantage count. She won the deciding leg to secure the huge cash prize, leaving Littler without the main reward despite his earlier dominance.
The victory adds to Sherrock's growing reputation. She previously made headlines as the first woman to win a match at the PDC World Championship, beating Ted Evetts and Mensur Suljović on her debut. Her latest triumph, in front of a live audience and broadcast by Netflix, is another milestone in her career.
