After outlasting a talented group of shooters in the first round, the Oklahoma product edged out Bertans by a single point in order to take home the victory.
Hield was the last player to shoot in the final round, and had to score more than 26 (a mark set by Bertans), and he did so in just the nick of time, passing the mark on a walk-off.
