patrick orreal -lrb- born 17 march 1964 -rrb- is an australian darts player who plays for the british darts organisation .
orreal qualified for the inaugural grand slam of darts for reaching the final of the pdc australian open where he lost to glen power .
the result meant that power had initially qualified for the event but was forced to withdraw due to visa problems and orreal replaced him .
he reached the last 16 of the 2007 grand slam of darts , defeating niels de ruiter and phill nixon to finish second in his group before losing to jelle klaasen 10-9 .
orreal 's 5-4 victory over nixon remains the only occasion in grand slam history that a player has recovered from 4-0 down to win 5-4 .
in february 2008 , it was announced that orreal was to join the pdc full-time but failed to recapture his form from the grand slam , winning prize money in only one of his first ten events and failed to qualify for the uk open .
he then reached the semi-final of the australian open players championship , achieving wins against lady player mellisa sinnott , barry jouannet , denis ovens and warren french before losing to paul nicholson .
he then suffered a first round exit from the oceanic masters , a tournament where the winner wins a place in the pdc world darts championship .
orreal soon departed from the pro tour and returned to the agp circuit .
