Posted on July 25th, 2010
STACY BROMBERG staged a superb fightback to defeat Tricia Wright 6-5 and win the inaugural PDC Unicorn Women’s World Championship Final.
The American found herself 5-3 down in a race to six legs at the Winter Gardens, but showed her fighting spirit to battle back and claim the £10,000 first prize.
Wright held leads of 4-2 and 5-3 but failed to kill off the match, missing four match darts before Bromberg prevailed in the decider to take the £10,000 title – a record for ladies’ darts.
Bromberg had held throw to win the game’s opening leg, taking out 74, but paid for three misses in the second as Wright posted double nine to level.
Double top gave the American the third, but she then missed six darts to again break throw, with Wright taking out double ten.
