UPDATE: McMaster beats World Champion Warholm in Zurich
The World Leading McMaster clocked 48.07 to Warholm's 48.22 in the 400M Hurdles for his second fastest time ever.
Kareim Hussein was third and Olympic Champion Kerron Clement fourth.
Warholm went out hard just as he did in London for his upset victory but it was a strategy similar to McMaster's, who held off the charging Norweigan on the home straight.

McMaster to compete in Zurich Diamond League tomorrow
ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI- World leading 400m hurdler Kyron A. McMaster will be making his second appearance in a Diamond League meet when the series makes a stop in Zurich, Switzerland tomorrow, August 24, 2017.
It will also be an opportunity for the Virgin Islander to make amends for his early exit in the 2017 World Championships in London where he was favoured to medal but was disqualified in the heats due to a lane infringement.
The Youth Worlds bronze medallist will be coming up against his main rivals, Kerron Clement and Bershawn Jackson of the USA and 2017 World Championships gold medallist Karsten Warholm of Norway.
Warholm, 21, shocked the field at Worlds when he went out hard and held on for victory in the 400m hurdles final. Gold medal favourite and Olympic champion Clement had to settle for bronze after being edged out of second place by Yasmani Copello of Turkey, who will also feature in tomorrow’s 400m hurdles race.
Race time is 2:49 P.M.
McMaster made his Diamond League debut at the Muller Anniversary Games at London Olympic Stadium on July 9, 2017, where he placed second in the 400m hurdles.
After a strong first 200m in which he opened up a solid lead on the competition, McMaster stumbled after going over the second to last hurdle and was caught on the line by Clement.
Meanwhile, the Diamond League meet in Zurich tomorrow will be two times double Olympic 5000m and 10,000m champion Mo Farah's final race on the track as he will then concentrate on road racing and the marathon.
