Heather Scores Maiden PSA Title In Chennai

It was fifth time lucky for England's Mark Heather when he beat Australia's Mike Corren in the final of the Chennai Squash Open to win the new PSA Tour title in India.

Heather, the No2 seed, fought back from a game down to go 2/1 up against Corren when the top seed conceded the match midway through the fourth game, suffering with a stomach upset.

The 11-15 15-12 15-4 6-1 victory in 31 minutes gave the 25-year-old from Portsmouth his first PSA Tour title after four finals in a row which left him as runner-up.

Heather, who celebrates his 26th birthday on Saturday, can expect to improve on his current career-best world No61 ranking when the next Dunlop PSA list appears on 1st January 2004.
