Andrew Swan (AUS) saved some Australian pride by beating 2000 Pacific Champion Murray Pharaoh (NZL) for 3rd place by 54.9-45.1 TPs, despite dropping no less than five time penalties in the second (14-14) game. There has now been one Australian in the top three each year, though all three winners have been from NZ.
The score in trans-Tasman matches was NZL 3-2 AUS, pretty close but all of the Australian losses were 4 games to 0 whitewashes. However, all of the Australians in this event were new to tournaments this year, so hopefully they will come back stronger next year. The updated pre-WTC Elo ratings and potential seedings list are now available.
