gap over O'Hara.
Herfoss executed a textbook
block pass on the last corner, but
Wyman got on the gas perfectly
and beat the Australian to the fin-

O'Hara was third once again.
"A hundred percent, a must-
win today," Wyman said. "Usu-
ally, you have kind of two shots
at it. Yesterday, I was not
comfortable, so I didn't feel like
I really had a shot to fight for the
