Gavin Garners Maiden PSA Title In Baltimore
After six years on the international squash circuit, Welshman Gavin Jones is celebrating his maiden PSA Tour title after winning the Baltimore City Open trophy in Maryland, USA.
The 25-year-old from Maesteg picked up where he left off in the semi-final where he upset top seed Alister Walker.
This time the third seed was facing another Englishman, and another higher-seeded opponent – Ben Garner, the No2 seed.
After winning the first two close games, it was one-way traffic for the Welshman who ran away with an 11-9 11-7 11-2 victory over the 25-year-old from Surrey in 50 minutes.
It was a long-awaited triumph for Jones who had reached his fifth PSA final since last May – all of which he achieved against the seeding – but finally netted his first victory.
RESULTS: Baltimore City Squash Open, Baltimore, USA
Final:
[3] Gavin Jones (WAL) bt [2] Ben Garner (ENG) 11-9, 11-7, 11-2 (50m)
