Lindsay & Corren Capture North Coast Crowns
New Zealander
Kylie Lindsay and home hero Mike Corren – both the top seeds –
prevailed to win the North Coast Squash Open titles at Coffs Harbour
Squash Centre in Coffs Harbour in the Australian state of New
South Wales.
Australian Mike
Corren survived a four-game semi-final against fourth-seeded Kiwi Alex
Grayson to reach the final of the $3,000 PSA World Tour
satellite event – the 44th Tour final of his career.
But his opponent
Nathan Stevenson, a fellow Australian who was the second seed, also needed
four games to claim his place in the final - by contrast the fifth of his
career.
The experienced
Corren was too strong for 19-year-old Grayson in the final, however. The
36-year-old South Australian battled to a 12-10, 11-4, 11-6 victory in just 28
minutes to claim the 29th Tour title of his career.
In the final of the
women’s $4,000 WISPA World Tour event, Kylie Lindsay denied the hosts a
double – and Australian opponent Melody Francis her maiden Tour title –
by beating the 21-year-old second seed 11-8, 11-7, 10-12, 13-11.
The triumph marks
Lindsay’s second WISPA title of the year – and the third of her career.
