Renan Lavigne Victorious 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 Squash 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.
