Ford Powers To Perth Prize
Englishman
Ben Ford made the most of his flying visit to Australia when he beat Mike
Corren to win the City of Perth International squash title in
Perth.
The top-seeded
33-year-old from London beat Australian Corren, the second seed, in the final of
the PSA World Tour Satellite event 11-7, 9-11, 11-7, 13-11 to claim his
third Tour title.
Ford, 33, and
Corren, 34, both overcame younger Queenslanders to reach the final.
The Englishman
outlasted 21-year-old Nathan Stevenson, the fourth seed, in five games 13-11,
8-11, 11-9, 12-14, 11-4, while Corren downed 23-year-old No7 seed Luke Forster
11-8, 11-5, 11-6.
Ford and
Corren will be the top two seeds again next week when the tour moves to the
historic gold mining town of Kalgoorlie for the PSA International
Golden Open.
