Good Day
For Knight In
Christchurch
Local
favourite Martin Knight clinched the South Island Championship
title when he beat fellow New Zealander Graeme Wilson in the final of the
PSA Tour Satellite squash event in
Christchurch,
New Zealand.
The
24-year-old top seed from
Auckland
despatched second seed Wilson, from Wellington, 11-0, 11-6, 11-6.
The
success marked the world number 98's second PSA Tour title this year, after he
also won April's Barossa Valley Open in
South
Australia.
It
was Knight's fourth Tour final appearance, but the first for his second-seeded
opponent.
