Golan Grabs Greek Title In Thessaloniki
Spaniard Borja Golan maintained his impressive record in PSA Tour finals when he won the Hyatt Regency Thessaloniki Squash Open in Greece.
Since winning his first PSA title less than four years ago in Italy, the 23-year-old from Santiago has collected a total of 11 titles, from only 12 appearances in Tour finals!
The top seed faced a surprise opponent in the final after Egypt's Tarek Momen, a qualifier, upset England's No2 seed Daryl Selby in the semi-finals.
Momen, 18, from Cairo, extended the favourite to a tie-break in the second game, but Golan was too strong for the talented teenager and went on to secure an 11-8, 11-10 (2-0), 11-4 victory.
