There was huge disappointment for Unicorn’s Tricia Wright, as she was edged out by American Stacy Bromberg in the first ever PDC Unicorn Women’s World Championship Final.
Tricia lost a dramatic last leg decider after missing four darts to be crowned World Champion.
“Obviously it is a blow,” she said. “I had my chances and didn’t take them, so well done to Stacy. I really enjoyed the whole experience and I will keep trying to win the world title.”
After a nervy start, Tricia hit a couple of 140s and took out 64 and 78 to move 4-2 and then 5-3 in front.
But the American refused to give in as both girls chased the biggest prize in the women’s game.
Bromberg held throw to make it 5-4 but then came Tricia’s big moment.
She missed four darts at ‘tops’ D10 and D5 to win the final 6-4 and Bromberg managed to level to set up that last leg decider.
The Unicorn ace just couldn’t find her range and Bromberg nailed D8 for the title.
Tricia’s consolation is £5,000 – a place at the Grand Slam of Darts and a guaranteed Tour Card to the 2011 PDC tour but it was the big prize she really wanted and she will rue those missed darts in that 10th leg.
Result:
Stacy Bromberg 6-5 Tricia Wright
Winner - £10,000
Runner-up - £5,000
