Happy new year and congratulations to Tyler Wright, our new 2017 female champion of the woooooorld ! And as we posted before, Women’s title was even tighter than men<\/a> ! As we said back in the day and before the last contest Maui’s Women Pro, Sally Fitzgibbons<\/a>,\u00a0Tyler Wright<\/a>,\u00a0Courtney Conlogue<\/a>,\u00a0Carissa Moore<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Stephanie Gilmore<\/a>\u00a0were 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th respectively. The difference between Gilmore and Fitzgibbons was only 7 thousand points aproximately. So what happened? There was a surprise in Round 2 as said by surfer.com:<\/p>\n

“The biggest shock came yesterday, when World No.1 Sally Fitzgibbons was beaten in Round Two by Brisa Hennessy<\/strong>. The next closest challenger to Wright, Courtney Conlogue, had the chance to win her first title if she finished third in the event and ahead of Wright<\/strong>, but the Californian fell to Nikki van Dijk<\/strong> in Round Four, dropping her out of contention. All of a sudden, as Wright<\/strong> was warming up for her Quarterfinal<\/strong>, no other name mattered in the title race. Not Stephanie Gilmore<\/strong>. Not Carissa Moore<\/strong>. The championship was Wright\u2019s if she beat Hennessy<\/strong>. ”<\/p>\n

Oh and she did, take a look at the video below:<\/p>\n
