Kelowna Pro Tour Stop - Day 2 of 2
By WSM Press Release
Kelowna, B.C., Canada — Phillip Soven, 18, is now three-for-four on the 2007 MasterCraft Pro Wakeboard Tour after capturing his third win of the season today in Kelowna. The Florida native took the top spot after upsetting the two favorites to win the Kelowna contest, Canadian riders Chad Sharpe and Rusty Malinoski who both tied for third place. Fellow Floridian Trevor Hansen also beat out the Canadian duo for a second-place finish in Canada.
"I'm so stoked to win today. It's the perfect momentum for going into our final stop," said Soven. "This win was killer. I just need to keep on riding like I did today and I should be fine."
Soven has been battling all season long with Malinoski for the top spot in the Indmar Performance Standings. With the win in Kelowna, Soven now paces all riders in the standings, but the overall title will come down to the tour's final stop in Portland, Oregon on July 21-22.
Keith Lidberg made a splash in Kelowna as he competed in the final round of compeitition and captured the Rip It Rail Trick Award.
Aussie Mitchell Langfield claimed the win in Kelowna for the Rip It JX Series. Langfield becomes only the second rider to win on the JX Series this season, as AJ Racinelli has captured all the previous tour stops. The Series title will also be on the line for the Jr. riders in Portland.
The tour will conclude in Portland, Oregon, July 21-22. The winner of the season-long dash to be the world's top rider will receive a $10,000 Indmar Performance Award.
