Fallon Sherrock has secured a place in the 2020 Ladbrokes UK Open after winning the Rileys Amateur Qualifier in Wolverhampton on Saturday.
Sherrock made history as the first woman to win a game at the PDC World Championship in December, defeating Ted Evetts and Mensur Suljovic at Alexandra Palace in a headline-grabbing run.
She will now get to compete in the Ladbrokes UK Open at the Butlin's Minehead Resort from March 6-8 as one of the 16 Rileys Amateur Qualifiers.
Sherrock won through a field of over 200 players at Rileys Wolverhampton, eventually defeating Stuart White 5-1 in the final.
