A8s oop vs aggresive player

 $1Heads-Up|15/30 NL - Holdem - 2 players

 
Hero (BB): 1,515.00
SB: 1,485.00
 
SB posts SB 15.00, Hero posts BB 30.00
 
Pre Flop: (45.00) Hero has Ah 8h
 
SB raises to 105.00, Hero calls 75.00
 
Flop: (210.00, 2 players) 9h 8d Qs
Hero checks, SB bets 126.00, Hero calls 126.00
 
Turn: (462.00, 2 players) 6d
Hero checks, SB bets 277.00, fold
 
SB wins 462.00
 
 
 
Some info: this was a third heads-up match with this player, villain has lost previuos 2 matches by shoving with overpair and high card. He is more on the loose aggresive side of the players.
What was the right play in this hand?

If he's LAG, then I think a flat pre may be your worst option. I'd 3b or fold.  Not a very good flop for our hand.  We are OOP with a super connected board and villain can Cbet and barrel many turn cards. Fold flop, and as played, fold turn. 

Go Bills.
