Rhian O'Sullivan (née Edwards; 20 January 1981) is a Welsh female professional darts player who plays in events of the World Darts Federation (WDF).[2]
Darts career[]
O'Sullivan was a quarter finalist in the 2009 Women's World Masters. She qualified for her first BDO Women's World Championship in 2010. She defeated fellow Welshwoman Julie Gore 2–0 in the quarter-finals, and 2–0 in the semi-finals. In the final, she was beaten 2–0 by Trina Gulliver.[3]
In 2011, she again reached the World Championship final after victories over Gore in the quarter-finals and Deta Hedman in the semi-finals. She was beaten 2–0 by Gulliver for the second final in a row.[4]
In 2012, O'Sullivan was defeated in the first round by top seed and eventual runner-up Hedman, but had the consolation of hitting a 155 checkout – the highest in the history of the women's world championship until the 2014.
