Chad Kagy Ends Bestwick’s Perfect Season in Portland
August 23, 2008 – 10:55 pm PT by GregTags: AST, Chad Kagy, Jamie Bestwick, Steve McCann, Wendy's Invitational —
Chad Kagy has been in Jamie Bestwick’s shadow for the last two AST Dew Tour events and it was only a matter of time before he would get an edge. That happened Saturday as Kagy came through with a huge final run to score a 95.00, edging Bestwick’s 94.17 (Bestwick fell on his final run). It’s only the second time Bestwick has lost to Kagy on the AST Tour (not including the ‘07 Right Guard Open where both were beaten). Last month, it was only thanks to a tie-breaker that Bestwick had the edge. Steve McCann continued his strong performances on the vert ramp, ending up in third
“Flair double whip was my risky starting move. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t,” Kagy said of the trick that helped secure him the win.
Bestwick’s quest for a fourth AST Dew Cup continue despite the loss, as he holds a 15-point lead over Kagy with two events left to go.
Here are the final results.
