SURFING
KAUA'I'S POWERS OUSTED
Kaua'i's Roy Powers was eliminated in the third round of the Billabong Pro Jeffreys Bay in South Africa yesterday.
Only six heats of the third round were completed before the competition was postponed due to inconsistent conditions.
Australia's Mick Fanning defeated Powers, 15.66-13.67. Powers upset fellow Kaua'i surfer Andy Irons in the second round earlier this week.
Pancho Sullivan of O'ahu's North Shore is the only Hawai'i surfer remaining in the event. He will take on Brazil's Paulo Moura in the third round.
