Tim Pusey has claimed Australian Darts Association Event 16 at Melton Darts Club, beating Joe Comito in the final to secure the New Zealand Darts Masters qualification prize.
The result gives Pusey another World Series marker after a sharp weekend on the ADA circuit, where the Australian field has been fighting for places tied to the PDC’s Oceanic swing. The ADA announced Pusey as Event 16 winner on Monday, with Comito listed as runner-up and the event carrying the New Zealand Darts Masters qualification spot.
Pusey Turns ADA Weekend Into World Series Leverage
For Pusey, the timing matters. The New Zealand Darts Masters sits immediately after the Australian Darts Masters on the PDC World Series schedule, making qualification more than a local-tour trophy. It puts him back into the conversation for high-visibility matches against elite PDC names in August.
The result also underlines how quickly the Oceanic race is moving. Brody Klinge, Ray Smith, Joe Comito and Pusey have all been active across the ADA stretch, but Pusey’s latest win gives him the clearest fresh headline from Melton.
DartConnect listed Australian Darts Association Event 16 as the live bracket source for the competition, while ADA’s own update confirmed Pusey’s win and Comito’s runner-up finish. For NineDartNews readers, the immediate takeaway is simple: Pusey’s World Series summer has just grown again.
