Malibu Boats Pro Team Rider and 2008 Tour Champion Phillip Soven, took his first Pro Tour stop of the 2009 season Sunday in Kentucky. In the finals Soven battled it out against rookie Harley Clifford, 2009 points-leader Aaron Rathy and Australian Tour Champ Dean Smith.
According to the WakeWorld.com article, "All four finalists went for broke to win the contest, including Aaron Rathy, who attempted a 1080, but was unable to stick the landing. Rathy's run earned him a third-place finish, with Phillip Soven taking the win and young gun Harley Clifford finishing in second."

2. Harley Clifford (AUS) - 91.25
3. Aaron Rathy (CAN) - 83.75
4. Dean Smith (AUS) - 70.00
"I'm happy with the way I rode today and it feels really good to come out with a win after not being on the podium for a while," said Soven. "A win is always a good way to go into the next the stop, so now I'm really looking forward to Reno."
Soven trains behind a Malibu Wakesetter VLX and we know he'll be hitting it hard this week getting ready for Reno. Congratulations Phillip and Good luck in Reno! We're pulling for you man!
