As Round 2 wrapped up and Round 3 got underway, eliminations thundered through the draw at the Corona Open.
With this 7.67 Tuesday at Supers, the local hero defeated Brasilian rookie Tomas Hermes and will surf in the next round.
With an impressive 8.67 -- and a claim to cap it off -- the Californian eliminated the Australian in Round 3 at J-Bay.
The Australian is keeping the dream alive, earning a near perfect 9.37 to advance out of Round 3 in Jeffreys Bay.
....but it wasn't quite enough to take down the former J-Bay champ, who will be retiring after this event.
