DartStats Verdict

Heta averaging 95.22 makes Australia competitive in Group G — USA and Canada have no established PDC presence and the group should be won. The more telling test is R16 against Scotland (Anderson 98.74, Menzies 93.56). Leek averaging 89.14 is the significant gap: alternating throws in a doubles format against Anderson requires consistency that his 2026 numbers don't yet show.
