Walker, the No2 seed, swept through to the final without dropping a game.  The 22-year-old from Gloucester twice fell behind against top seed Berden, the Dutch national champion.  But Walker took the fourth game for just a single point - then raced to victory 8-11 11-5 8-11 11-1 11-7 to claim his second PSA title in his fourth appearance in a final.
