Gordon Wins First PSA Title

Christopher Gordon (NY) defeated James Snell (UK), topping the Englishman 11-7, 11-7, 12-10 in the final, to capture his first PSA title at the Japan Pro Squash Yokohama in Yokohama, Japan.  The 22 year old Gordon had to bounce back after taking a grueling 82 minute, five game semi-final win over Nyeon-Ho Lee (KOR), 11-5, 8-11, 11-8, 9-11, 11-4. Gordon's win comes a month after countryman Julian Illingworth became the first U.S. player to win a PSA World Tour title. You can read more about the 2009 Japan Pro Squash Yokohama by clicking here.
