Lisa Ashton secured a place in the 2020 BoyleSports Grand Slam Of Darts by winning the Women’s Qualifier event in Barnsley on Friday.
Ashton, who made her Grand Slam of Darts debut in 2019, came through a field of 74 players at the Barnsley Metrodome to book her return to one of the PDC’s biggest televised tournaments.
The four-time BDO Women’s Champion and first female PDC Tour Card Holder whitewashed Australia’s Corrine Hammond 5-0 in the final, having defeated the experienced Deta Hedman in the semi-finals.
Elsewhere, history-maker Fallon Sherrock was eliminated at the semi-finals stage by Hammond, while Anastasia Dobromyslova, Beau Greaves and Laura Turner all went out in the quarter-finals.
Ashton joins BDO Women’s Champion Mikuru Suzuki in the 32-player field for next month’s event at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry.
