From there, Goodman set a good pace behind Coburn but came under fire as Riley came up through the pack quickly and was on a mission to better his position. Goodman battled with Riley but was bumped back one spot to third place where he stayed for the short remainder of the race. Goodman is back once again in 2014 to defend, and go for his fourth consecutive Pro and Pro-am championship and this is a good start to that mission.
