Josh Toth swept all
six special tests en
route to the overall
win at the Little
Raccoon National

"The first test went pretty good,
and then the second test was going
pretty good, and then halfway through
I went down and kind of tweaked my
knee a little bit," said Grant. "I just
lost a bunch of time in that second
test. Then in the third test, I made it
