It was an eventful Day 9 in Portugal. The Cascais Women's Pro had a major wrench thrown into the 2017 World Title race, as things did not go to plan for Jeep Leader Sally Fitzgibbons on Finals day. Joining Sage Erickson, another first-time winner emerged on the women's Tour, this time in the form of Aussie Nikki Van Dijk, who defeated 3x World Champ Carissa Moore to win her first CT title. On the men's side, all four Semifinalists are now set at the QS 10,000 EDP Billabong Pro Cascais, as Championship Tour surfers stole the show from the QS contingent.
