Lau Lands First PSA Tour Title In Florida

Hong Kong's Dick Lau landed the first PSA Tour title of his career when he upset Canada's top seed Robin Clarke in the final of the Sunset Open in Florida, USA.

The 20-year-old reached his first PSA final after a tough semi-final victory over Welshman Scott Fitzgerald, the resident professional at the Bath & Racquet Club, the host club in Sarasota. Lau, the fourth seed, twice came from behind to beat qualifier Fitzgerald 8-11, 11-9, 4-11, 11-4, 11-10 (2-0) in 74 minutes.

The final was a one-sided affair, with Lau always in control - volleying and keeping Clarke turning and bending.

"Dick played the perfect game-plan and came out an easy winner," said Fitzgerald after Lau's 11-5, 11-6, 11-5 triumph in 34 minutes.

Final:
[4] Dick Lau (HKG) bt [1] Robin Clarke (CAN) 11-5, 11-6, 11-5 (34m)
