Mexican Arturo Salazar brought to an end the giant-killing run of Scottish qualifier Alan Clyne in the final of the Talisman Energy Bankers Hall Club Open to win the $10,000 PSA Tour squash event title at Bankers Hall Club in Calgary, Canada.
The 21-year-old second seed from San Luis Potosi claimed his anticipated place in the final without dropping a game.
Meanwhile Clyne, 22, from Edinburgh, followed his shock victory over top seed Jan Koukal in the quarter-finals by despatching fourth-seeded Malaysian Mohd Nafiizwan Adnan to reach his second surprise Tour final in four months.
Salazar battled for 48 minutes for his victory - saving a game ball in the second game before finally prevailing 11-2, 13-11, 13-11 to claim the third PSA Tour title of his career, and the second in Canada.
