Pipe Invitational Champ Finn McGill nearly completed a huge upset in Round Two over Pipe Master and former World Champ Joel Parkinson. The 16-year-old wildcard came within inches of securing massive scores on two separate waves during their heat, falling off just before exiting a couple of Backdoor kegs. In the end, Parko saved it for late to nip the young upstart by less that a single point.
