In 2009, Fleet won the Pacific Masters, and the [WDF World Cup](/source/WDF_World_Cup) pairs with [Geoff Kime](/source/Geoff_Kime). Fleet qualified for the [2010 BDO World Championship](/source/2010_BDO_World_Darts_Championship) at the [Lakeside Country Club](/source/Lakeside_Leisure_Complex) where he was drawn against the 2007 World Champion [Martin Adams](/source/Martin_Adams).[1] In 27 darts, Fleet scored 26, 41, 60, 60, 5, 41 (with his first dart hitting double 1), 22, 80 and 11, and it is largely considered to be "the worst leg in darts history".[2][3] Adams also struggled to get going in the leg, missing 4 darts at a double before finally finishing on double 3. Fleet achieved a 3-dart average of 65.34 (one of the lowest recorded averages in the history of a major competition), and lost 3–0 in sets without winning a leg. Adams later spoke of his sympathy for Fleet and recalled his nerves the first time he played at the Lakeside saying that "no one knows what its like up there until you get up there." In February 2011, Fleet won the 2 Mittagong RSL Open events on the DPA Australian Grand Prix Pro Tour. He then won the [World Darts Federation](/source/World_Darts_Federation)'s West Coast Classic, held on 20–21 February, defeating [Kyle Anderson](/source/Kyle_Anderson_(darts_player)) 5–2 in the final.[4] Fleet won 4 more DPA Australian Grand Prix Pro Tour events during the year.[5] ## World Championship results ### PDC - 2007: First round: (lost to [Adrian Lewis](/source/Adrian_Lewis) 0–3) (sets) ### BDO - 2010: First round: (lost to [Martin Adams](/source/Martin_Adams) 0–3) ## External links - [Profile and stats on Darts Database](http://www.dartsdatabase.co.uk/PlayerDetails.aspx?playerKey=1411) ## References 1. **[^](#cite_ref-1)** ["Lakeside set for BDO title battle"](https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/other_sports/darts/8320754.stm). *[BBC Sport](/source/BBC_Sport)*. 31 December 2009.
