PSA Acclaim Corren’s Achievements

PSA Acclaim Corren’s Achievements


#PSAWorldTour
 
PSA Oceania Regional Representative
Kashif Shuja recognised Mike Corren's service to Squash and PSA at the prize-giving ceremony of the Christchurch International Open in New Zealand.
 
Australian Corren, the 40-year-old World No.76 from Adelaide, recently became the first player since Pakistan’s record eight-time World Champion
Jansher Khan more than two decades ago to claim 50 PSA World Tour titles.  Earlier this month, at the South Australian Open, Corren notched up his 73rd final appearance.
 
“I would like to use this opportunity of a gathering of squash players and enthusiasts to highlight the achievements of one of our region's most successful active squash players,” said Shuja in Christchurch.
 
“Mike has been on the PSA World Tour for nearly 18 years and won 50 tour titles.  He has been a true ambassador of professional squash and has contributed immensely to Squash in the region.”
 
It was in October 1996 when, unseeded, Corren reached the final of the
American Club Classic in Hong Kong - and went on to defeat fellow countryman Tim Manning to win his maiden title.
 
Corren made a further entry in the sport’s history books in May when he claimed the
Top End Open trophy in Darwin to become the first ever 40-year-old winner of a PSA Tour title.
 
“I keep playing simply because I love squash!” said a grateful Corren (pictured below, right, with Shuja) - thanking the PSA for the gesture.
