Finn Olli Tuominen marked up the tenth PSA World Tour title of his career at the Pacific Athletic Club Open after beating Canadian Shahier Razik in the final of the $22,500 event at the Pacific Athletic Club in Redwood City in the US state of California.
The 30-year-old from Helsinki dropped just one game en-route to his 15th Tour final, dismissing unexpected opponent Stephane Galifi, the No7 seed from Italy, in straight games in the semi-finals.
Second seed Razik celebrated his fourth successive appearance in a Tour semi-final in North America this month by beating defending champion Julian Illingworth, the No3 seed from New York, in a hard-fought 65-minute straight games encounter.
But top seed Tuominen was in control from the outset in the final, winning 11-7, 11-2, 12-10 in 58 minutes to secure his second trophy of the year after winning the Finnish Open on home soil last month for the third time.
