Sec. 17. In all cases where an award is presented to any court of record for a judgment to be entered upon the award, whether the reference was made by submission of parties, or by rule of court, the adverse party may show cause against the rendition of the judgment on any of the following grounds:
(1) The award or umpirage was obtained by fraud, corruption, partiality, or other undue means, or the arbitrator showed evidence of partiality or corruption.
(2) The arbitrator was guilty of misconduct in:
(A) refusing to postpone the hearing upon sufficient cause shown;
(B) refusing to hear evidence material and pertinent to the controversy; or
(C) any other misbehavior by which the rights of any party were prejudiced.
(3) The arbitrator exceeded the arbitrator's powers, or so imperfectly executed them that a mutual, final, and definite award on the subject-matter submitted was not made.
