Cuskelly Wins 2015 U.S. Pro Squash Series |
World
No.16 Ryan Cuskelly capped off a superb 2015 by topping last year’s
U.S. Pro Squash Series rankings, claiming the top prize of $2,500 in
additional bonus prize money.
The Australian No.2, who was in fine form throughout a year that saw
him break into the world’s top 20 for the first time in addition to
claiming four PSA World Tour titles, beat Scotland’s Alan Clyne and
Mexico’s Cesar Salazar to the summit of the rankings while 2014
winner Campbell Grayson, who pipped Cuskelly to the title that year,
had to settle for fourth.
Cuskelly picked up 1,380 points from five events which included
victory at February’s Oregon Open and a runner-up finish at the
Charlottesville Open in September of last year. A last four spot at
the Pittsburgh Open combined with a quarter-final place at the Life
Time Fitness Houston Open and a final qualifying round exit at the
Suburban Collection Motor City Open added to his impressive total.
"I’m really happy to win the U.S. Pro Squash Series this year,
particularly as I came in second last year," said Cuskelly.
"Winning the U.S. Pro Squash Series is even more special for me as I
live and train in the US and play most of my tournaments around the
country. I think this series could really grow as there are so many
tournaments in the states now which makes it a great place to base
yourself as a professional player on the PSA World Tour."
The 2015 U.S. Pro Squash Series included 20 events ranging from
$5,000 to $70,000 in prize money with players needing to participate
in a minimum of four tournaments to be eligible for the additional
bonus prize money.
