Philippe Dussault Wins 2022 NFBC Diamond Title & $75,000

[Greg Ambrosius]

Philippe Dussault of Terrebonne, Quebec won the 2021 NFBC Main Event and the 2021 Auction Championship and this year he's added another prestigious title to his resume. Philippe joined the NFBC Diamond League for the first time in 2022 and walked away with that title and the $75,000 league prize.

Philippe finished 18 points ahead of KC Cha for the title, with KC winning $35,000 for his runner-up finish. John Thompson finished third to win $20,000, while Jon Stadtmueller finished fourth to win $10,000.

Philippe jumped into the lead just before the All-Star break and never looked back as he led this league from July 17th on. Congrats Philippe on your first Diamond League title. He becomes our 10th different champion in the 13 years of hosting the Diamond League. Only Jim Ferrari, Bob Particelli and KC Cha have won this title twice.

Congrats to all of the money winners and great job everyone in a year-long battle. Here's the final standings:
