Hey everyone,

My name is Thomas Grosset and this is my first post on this forum.

This thread is based on the WFD competition that took place July 27-29th in Austin, TX.

I was labeled as the official WFD champion after winning the 2007 Summer NAMM World Finals in Austin, Texas with 1,156 singles which is currently the highest score that's ever been recorded during the finals. My highest preliminary run was 1194 single strokes which made me the new WFD 16 and under World Record Holder and ranking me as the third fastest in the world.

This is me winning the 2007 Summer World Finals with 1156 single strokes.

Thanks, but I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't put down Matt. He's a great guy and has a raw talent.
