Salazar Stops Clyne
Climb In Calgary
Mexican Arturo
Salazar brought to an end the giant-killing run of Scottish
qualifier Alan Clyne in the final of the Talisman Energy
Bankers Hall Club Open to win the $10,000 PSA Tour squash
event title at Bankers Hall Club in Calgary,
Canada.
The 21-year-old
second seed from San Luis Potosi claimed his anticipated place in the
final without dropping a game.
Meanwhile Clyne,
22, from Edinburgh, followed his shock victory over top seed Jan
Koukal in the quarter-finals by despatching fourth-seeded Malaysian
Mohd Nafiizwan Adnan to reach his second surprise Tour final in
four months.
Salazar battled
for 48 minutes for his victory - saving a game ball in the second game
before finally prevailing 11-2, 13-11, 13-11 to claim the third PSA Tour
title of his career, and the second in Canada.
