Fallon Sherrock was defeated in the third round on day two of the First Stage at the 2022 PDC Q-School in Milton Keynes.
'The Queen of the Palace', who became the first female player to win a game at the PDC World Championship, is bidding to win a PDC Tour Card at the seven-day event. Having lost her opening round on Sunday, she picked up two victories on Monday, against Adrian Devine (5-2) and Steve Haggerty (5-4).
However, she fell to former BDO world youth champion Joshua Richardson 5-2, who averaged over 100, in her third contest.
Sherrock will have one more chance on Tuesday to progress to the final stage. If she does not qualify automatically, her victories on Monday may prove decisive, as players can also get through via a First Stage Order of Merit.
Three-time world champion John Part was another player to fall in the Round of 128, losing to Scotland's Nathan Girvan on a 5-1 scoreline.
In the UK Q-School, former BDO World Masters winner John O'Shea was one of eight players to progress, along with Ryan Hogarth, Shaun Wilkinson, Kevin Garcia, Greg Ritchie, Matthew Dennant and Joshua Burksfield.
In Niedernhausen, Jens Ziegler, Bent Lambertsen, Lukas Wenig, Dragutin Horvat, Tony Martinez, Kai Gotthardt, Paulo Ferreira and Ryan de Vreede all came through.
