Corren Strikes Gold For 40th Tour Title
Australia's Mike Corren clocked up his 40th title
on the PSA World Tour when he beat Englishman Lewis Walters
in today's final of the City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder International
Golden Open, the PSA Challenger 5 squash event at the YMCA
in Kalgoorlie, Australia.
Corren was leading 11-8, 11-2 when second seed Walters,
who injured his ankle during the quarter-finals, decided he was unable
to continue, handing Corren his third Golden Open crown in the past four
years.
It was also the 38-year-old Corren's third consecutive
title on the Australian Squash Tour following wins at the NT Open
in Alice Springs and last week's City of Perth International.
"He hurt his ankle yesterday morning but I watched him
play last night and he was on fire," Corren said.
"But he told me after the match that when he woke up this
morning it had tightened up. I could tell after the first three or four
points that he was struggling when I put a few balls to the front and he
didn't react.
"But then I went to the front too much and he was getting
them, but once I started playing my normal game he was having difficulty
moving."
Corren is showing no signs of slowing down and said he
had now set his sights on winning 50 PSA titles.
"I had a physio come here with me from Perth and he
treated me every day, he kept me feeling really youthful, and that made
a big difference," he said.
Corren now heads to his home state for the Barossa
Valley and South Australian Opens.
