Tory Takes Maiden Tour Title At Mackay Open

Just a week after making her maiden appearance in a WSA World Tour final, England's Victoria Temple Murray claimed her first title today in Australia when she upset home favourite Sarah Cardwell in the final of the Women's Mackay Open, the WSA Tour 5 event in its fifth year at the Mackay Leisure Centre in Mackay, Queensland.

After overcoming injured compatriot Fiona Moverley in the quarter-finals - in a repeat of last week's Tasmanian Open final clash - fifth seed Temple Murray defeated Argentina's No4 seed Antonella Falcione to reach the final.

Cardwell, the top seed from Melbourne, had cruised to the final - her seventh on the Tour - without dropping a game.

The 23-year-old world No61 took the opening game - but Temple Murray came back fighting to take the next three to win 6-11, 11-9, 13-11, 11-4 after 50 minutes to record her Tour title triumph.

"WOOOOOOO! First EVER WSA title! MacKay 5K! So happy, I can't stop the exclamation marks!!" tweeted the exuberant 20-year-old from Exeter in Devon afterwards.

Temple Murray, who celebrates a career-high 79 world ranking this month, now moves on to next week's Queensland Open in Brisbane where she is seeded to reach the quarter-finals.
