Florence’s score line wasn’t much better: 9.93 total.
Redaction SSS [Source info presse] : Then at the five minute mark, two waves in the 8-10 foot range pushed through.

Right behind him, O’Brien swung, pulled in deep and blew out in front of Florence’s face for a 9.93 - further extending his lead. One (...)
