At Valkyrie Open
France's Renan Lavigne celebrated his sixth title on the PSA Tour when
he beat Malaysia's Mohammed Azlan Iskandar in the final of the Valkyrie
Club Open in New Jersey, USA.
Top seed Lavigne, 29, from Mortcerf, beat Australia's sixth seed Michael
Corren to reach the final where he faced the No2 seed from Sarawak.
Iskandar, who seven days earlier lifted the Betteridge Trophy in
Mamaroneck in the state of New York, took the opening game.
Lavigne, however, who has not lost a PSA Tour final since August 1999, a
mere month after winning his debut title, then began to assert his
authority on the match - and after 81 minutes secured his 11-15 15-10
15-7 15-10 victory.

Corren Claims Semi-Final
Place In New Jersey
Australia's sixth seed Michael Corren claimed an unexpected
place in the semi-finals of the Valkyrie Club Open after beating
Egypt's Karim Yehia 17-14 16-17 15-4 15-9 in the quarter-finals in New
Jersey, USA.
Yehia, a qualifier, had reached the last eight after removing
Switzerland's fourth seed Lars Harms in the first round.
An international semi-final lineup
sees Corren take on France's top seed Renan Lavigne, while in
the bottom half Malaysia's second seed Azlan Iskandar meets
England's Stephen Meads, the third seed.
