Todd Faircloth earned his fourth Bassmaster Elite Series title by capturing the Sabine River Challenge on Sunday, winning a four-day, back-and-forth battle with Dean Rojas by 6 pounds, 10 ounces.
Rojas, from Lake Havasu City, Ariz., led after Thursday and Faircloth took the lead Friday. Rojas went back in front on Saturday, leading Faircloth by 3-9. But Faircloth pulled away on the last day by weighing a 14-9 limit, easily getting the best of Rojas, who had a single fish Sunday that weighed 4-6.
Faircloth's final weight in the series' season opener was 49 pounds, 6 ounces. His prize was $100,000 and an instant entry in the 2014 Bassmaster Classic. Faircloth, of Jasper, Texas, took the lead in the season-long points race.
