2008 Globe Pro Fiji – Day 4
May 27th, 2008 by Adam
Stop number 4 on the ASP World Tour continues to roll out some amazing heats and amazing upsets. The 3-time world champion, Andy Irons, was ousted by another fellow Hawaiian in Round 3 of the 2008 Globe Pro Fiji. Fredrick Patacchia, the 2005 WCT Rookie of the Year, closed the door on Andy Irons by beating him in Heat 15, 16.34 points to only 5.83.
The match-up of Round 3 included past ASP World Champions Mark Occhilupo and 8 time world champ, Kelly Slater. Even though Occy officially retired last year, he entered this contest as a wildcard. Occy was downed by Kelly Slater in Heat 8. Now Slater will match up with the defending Globe Pro Fiji champion Damien Hobgood in Round 4. With the contest swell dying and some lay days ahead, the 2008 Globe Pro Fiji is finished for today.
