Kenny Continues To Conquer In California

Unseeded Irishman Liam Kenny maintained his winning ways in the DARE Santa Barbara Squash Open by upsetting England's third seed Lee Drew in straight games in the quarter-finals in California, USA.

Born in Perth, Australia, Kenny reached the last eight after removing sixth-seeded Dutchman Laurens Anjema - then dismissed Drew 15-10 15-10 15-6 to set up a semi-final clash with second-seeded Malaysian Mohammad Azlan Iskandar, who beat Denmark's 7th seed Mikkel Korsbjerg 15-6 11-15 15-11 15-9.

While his older brother Tim was suffering in Spain, fifth seed Ben Garner caused a minor upset in Santa Barbara by defeating France's fourth seed Jean-Michel Arcucci 13-15 15-5 14-15 15-10 15-4. 

Garner junior will now face Australia's top seed Paul Price, who ended unseeded Czech Jan Koukal's run with a 15-10 15-10 15-13 victory.
