The Trukai PNG International marks the first PSA Tour event ever to be staged in the small South Pacific country which is east of Indonesia.  The $10,500 event in Papa New Guinea's capital has attracted a strong field, led by Australia's Dan Jenson, the world No22 from Adelaide.

Jenson despatched the Papua New Guinea No1, and Tournament Director, Derek Hunter 15-7 15-2 15-6 in 41 minutes to set up a quarter-final clash with compatriot Paul Davis, the eighth seed who survived an all-Australian encounter with Mark Price.
