These nine anglers will race to be one of the first four pros to reach the 22-pound Target Weight. The first four to catch enough scorable bass to pass the 22-pound mark will move on to the Championship Round while the five who fall short will head home. This is the final Sudden Death Round of the Challenge Cup. The four anglers who advanced from Sudden Death Round 1 await the four advancing anglers from Sudden Death Round 2 to complete the Championship Round field.

In Sudden Death Round 1, Takahiro Omori was the first angler to find 22 pounds of bass on Lake Butte des Morts. Omori used his Lucky Craft crankbait near boat docks and bridge pilings to find a mixture of smallmouth and largemouth bass. Joining Omori in the Championship Round will be Michael Neal, Edwin Evers and Andy Morgan. Alton Jones Jr., Ott DeFoe, Josh Bertrand, Jeff Sprague and Andy Montgomery were unable to crack the top four and will be heading home.
