South Korean swimmer Park Tae-hwan has seized the men's 100-meter free title at the Santa Clara International Grand Prix.

Park captured the title on Friday after posting a record of 48-point-92 seconds. He finished just zero-point-69 seconds ahead of American Michael Phelps.

Friday marked the first time for Park to beat Phelps in a competition.

Park is set to compete in the 14th FINA World Championships next month in Shanghai. FINA, or the International Swimming Federation when translated from French, is the world governing body for the five Aquatic Disciplines of swimming, diving, water polo, synchronized swimming and open water swimming.
