This final of the Phoenix Open had everything, not forgetting the
120 min of pure grueling rallies that both players wanting to win
badly the 5th tournament of the Life Time Squash Grand Prix Tour
The first game lasted nearly and hour with 80 to 100 shot rallies
making it hard to play winners on a hot and bouncy court. Hedrick
seem to be the more patience player and won the first game 11/9.
The second game was a Hitchcock with every rally played to the full
limit. This game had it all, lets strokes, blocking, arguments with
the ref, but at the end Hedrick came through with a clear stroke at
10/9 to win the second game 11/9.
The third both players came out of the blocks and eventually Buhari
was feeling the Aussies hard and tight pace to take a comfortable
lead of 8-5 before closing the deal at 11/ 7 to win his first
Phoenix Open.

last event of the year will be next month in Boca Raton Florida.
Andre Maur Life Time Grand Prix Tour Director wanted to say a
special thank you to the Jackson Family who where the Title sponsor
