Beau Greaves topped the Women’s Series and faces Daryl Gurney first as she looks to become only the second female player to register a win in the tournament, after fellow qualifier Fallon Sherrock who won twice in December 2019.
Three places were on offer from the Women’s Series, along with a spot for the Women’s Matchplay winner – a title taken by Lisa Ashton.
With Greaves qualifying in her own right as runner-up on the development tour, that meant Women’s Series runner-up Sherrock, Noa-Lynn van Leuven in fourth and Gemma Hayter, who finished fifth, join third-placed Ashton.
Van Leuven, who was the first transgender player in the tournament last year when she lost in the first round to Kevin Doets, plays two-time champion Peter Wright this time around.
