The single-day contest featured 1 rounds of competition, generating high intensity as every move on the scoresheet directly impacted the final standings.

Chasing Kelly all afternoon was Denmark's Martin Vædele Egdal, who applied relentless pressure on the leader with a consistent 27.00 average and a top single of 26 moves.
