Haycocks Captures Santa Fe, New Mexico, Kiva Club Open Crown by Sean Reuthe September 19, 2016
- England’s World No.87 Jaymie Haycocks took the plaudits at the Kiva
Club Open, PSA M5 tournament after an assured display saw him defeat
United States player Dylan Cunningham in straight games in Santa Fe.
Haycocks breezed into the final without losing a game, while Cunningham
was appearing in his maiden PSA World Tour final 15 months after making
his Tour debut.
A patient approach from Haycocks in the opening game saw the
Birmingham-based 32-year-old go 6-3 ahead, before Cunningham settled
into the match, and the pair were neck and neck until Haycocks
triumphed on the tie-break.
The early stages of the second game saw the scores delicately poised
until Haycocks pulled away from 7-7, taking four successive points to
double his advantage.
Haycocks then dominated a six-minute third game for the loss of just
three points, powering to a 12-10, 11-7, 11-3 victory to claim the
fourth PSA World Tour title of his career.
