Bonhomme stopped the clock in the Final Four with a sensational time of 1:11.579 while Lamb, celebrating his 58th birthday, was a close second with a time of 1:11.750, which was good enough for 10 points that also put him into the thick of the championship battle with 35 points overall.
"I think this has to be the greatest escape yet — it's a great win," said Bonhomme, who had a dismal performance in Qualifying and was nearly eliminated in the first round of 12 when he was beaten by Germany's Matthias Dolder, who finished fourth overall.
