It moved up to second place in Week 16 after scoring 169.15 points and then made up a 17-point deficit with a huge 183.80 point Week 17 to win the title going away. He finished 46.17 points ahead of Mike Sanda, who won $6,000 for his runner-up finish, while Chris Eibl finished third to win $2,000. Jason Cappillino won the Consolation Round to earn $500.
