So die Qualifier für 2010 stehen fest, wie erwartet ist Joan Duru noch nach unten rausgerutscht. Kleine Chance hat er noch, wenn Jay Thomson sich noch über die World Tour qualifiziert
ASP WQS Situation Room - Monday, December 7, 2009
COOLANGATTA, Queensland/Australia (Monday, December 7, 2009) - What a great ending to the 2009 ASP WQS season with perfect 10-foot Sunset Beach surf and ASP World Tour No. 1 and 2 along with Hawaiians Sunny Garcia and Dusty Payne in the Final.
Congratulations to Joel Parkinson for his win, and even though Sunny may have came second, he now gets a start in next week’s Billabong Pipeline Masters and Payne qualified for the 2010 ASP World Tour, ending up 9th on the 2009 ASP WQS ratings.
The final 15 were pretty well set coming into the ASP WQS 6-Star PRIME O’Neill World Cup, but Dusty powered from 18th to 9th, pushing out Joan Duru, who was tied with Blake Thornton. Fortunately for Blake, on a countback, the Australian stayed in the ASP WQS Top 15, qualifying for the 2010 ASP World Tour.
For Joan, the year is not over though as Jay Thompson still has a chance of making the ASP World Tour Top 27 ,and if he does, he will not need his ASP WQS spot, opening it up for Joan to become 15th.
