Ott DeFoe left Escanaba, Mich., on Sunday and will not compete Monday in the final round of the Elite Series Angler of the Year Championship due to a previously-scheduled sponsor commitment.
After B.A.S.S. announced early Sunday morning that competition was being cancelled at Lake Michigan for a third straight day due to high winds, DeFoe posted on his Facebook page that he couldn't stick around for the tournament's conclusion.
DeFoe, who is currently 24th in AOY points, is already qualified for next year's Bassmaster Classic by virtue of his Northern Open win at Douglas Lake. He caught 20-06 on Thursday and was in 11th place in the AOY event after one day.
