Smith\\u2019s efforts would see him secure a Round of 16 berth over C.J. Hobgood (USA), 34, and Ramzi Boukhiam (MAR), 19. \\u201cI knew that heat was going to be tough,\\u201d Smith said. \\u201cRamzi (Boukhiam) has been ripping and C.J. (Hobgood) started strong with that 8. I got that 9 and that was the turning point for me. If you get the right waves out there you\\u2019re going to get high scores. I knew it was going to be a comeback heat for me and I\\u2019m happy to get the win.\\u201d&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Adriano de Souza (BRA), 26, got the best of an all-Brazilian affair in his Round of 24 clash, besting Jadson Andre, 23, and Alex Ribeiro, 21, to advance directly through to the Round of 16. \\u201cI was nervous because I creased my board twice, but I knew I couldn\\u2019t leave Jadson and Alex out there alone,\\u201d de Souza said. \\u201cFor me this year this event\\u2019s so much fun because I\\u2019ve had a big year already and I\\u2019m happy to be making my heats here at the US Open. I was happy to get my two scores in that one. Everyone\\u2019s fighting for one spot out there and outside of the water we\\u2019re all friends, but in the water it\\u2019s business. We\\u2019re all there for the same thing and it involves money and points. I\\u2019m stoked to get that heat win.\\u201d&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Kolohe Andino (USA), 19, took out a big victory in his non-elimination Round of 24 heat, topping defending event champion Julian Wilson (AUS), 24, and ASP WCT Rookie Sebastian Zietz (HAW), 25, to advance directly to the Round of 16. \\u201cI have so much respect for Julian (Wilson) and Seabass (Sebastian Zietz),\\u201d Andino said. \\u201cI wanted to beat them really bad. The waves are more fun today, they\\u2019re more peaky and I\\u2019m stoked on that. This contest is so hard and all of the Primes have WCT guys and then guys that want the money or points. I like these waves, I\\u2019ve surfed these waves my whole life and I\\u2019m really excited to make it to the next round.\\u201d&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Adrian Buchan (AUS), 30, took out a big heat victory in Heat 4 today with polished backhand surfing on the pierbowl rights, relegating 11-time ASP World Champion Kelly Slater (USA), 41, and Miguel Pupo (BRA), 21, to the elimination Round of 24. \\u201cIt\\u2019s always good to win that three man round and even though it\\u2019s a no losers round, there\\u2019s only one winner and the next heat is super competitive,\\u201d Buchan said. \\u201cIt feels great to beat Kelly (Slater). I don\\u2019t typically have a problem with him in three man heats, but he\\u2019s got my number in the man-on-man. I felt good out there this morning and it\\u2019s the best heat I\\u2019ve surfed out here so far.\\u201d&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;While several of the day\\u2019s highlights came at the hands of ASP Top 34 members, Frenchman Vincent Duvignac, 25, put in a banner performance to top Bede Durbidge (AUS), 31, and Michel Bourez (PYF), 27, advancing directly to the Round of 16. \\u201cThat was crazy,\\u201d Duvignac said. \\u201cLast heat I had Kelly (Slater) and I came here with nothing to lose. I just wanted to get points to get in to Prime events for the back half of the year. This week has been a huge contrast for me. Last week I was teaching surfing to kids, so it\\u2019s crazy to be here and I\\u2019m so stoked to surf against these guys. Michel (Bourez) is my favorite surfer and I\\u2019m so happy to win that heat. I didn\\u2019t have enough budget to get to Ballito and was looking only to do Huntington. I was here just looking to do my best and this gives me huge motivation.\\u201d&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Following Men\\u2019s Round 3 competition, Vans US Open Women\\u2019s WCT surfers took to the water for non-elimination Round 3 of their own.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Courtney Conlogue (USA), 20, continued to dominate the lineup in front of her local crowd, besting reigning five-time ASP Women\\u2019s World Champion Stephanie Gilmore (AUS), 25, and progressive veteran Silvana Lima (BRA), 28, while commanding her heat from start to finish. Conlogue would open her campaign with a quick start, earning a 7.50 and would build momentum throughout the heat, leaving her competitors in need of near-perfect scores to advance to the Quarterfinals. \\u201cI wanted to get a quick start because I knew with the high tide it\\u2019d be inconsistent,\\u201d Conlogue said. \\u201cThat 7.5 was a treat to start. With the high tide you don\\u2019t really know if it\\u2019s going to shut down on you in a particular heat and I felt good out there and in rhythm in the waves. I\\u2019m working on my mental strength lately, especially when you\\u2019re coming up against a five-time world champ and not letting that get in to your head. I\\u2019m really happy to get that win.\\u201d&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Tyler Wright (AUS), 19, would start strong in Round 3, opening with the Round\\u2019s high single-wave score of an 8.50 out of 10. The current rankings leader would struggle to find a backup score throughout her heat, but eventually went on to solidify the victory with a committed air-reverse. \\u201cI just wanted to catch a wave and do more surfing,\\u201d Wright said. \\u201c I couldn\\u2019t catch a wave out there, but the tide was super high and I was expecting it to be slow. I was lucky to get that first one. I caught that one bad left towards the end of the heat and then I was lucky to get that little right at the end paddling back out.\\u201d&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Coco Ho (HAW), 22, matched Wright\\u2019s single-wave score of an 8.50 while winning her all-Hawaiian affair, advancing directly to the Quarterfinals over former ASP Women\\u2019s World Champion Carissa Moore (HAW), 20, and Kauai\\u2019s Alana Blanchard (HAW), 22. \\u201cIt was cool to surf with Carissa (Moore) and Alana (Blanchard) and it\\u2019s a heat we\\u2019ve all had before,\\u201d Ho said. \\u201cWe try to have fun in that no losers round and I\\u2019m happy I got through. I think all of the adrenaline and psych makes you push harder on every turn and that\\u2019s what I\\u2019m going for.\\u201d&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Tomorrow\\u2019s Vans US Open of Surfing schedule will see the completion of Men\\u2019s and Women\\u2019s Round 4.
