31-year-old Kolkata-born national champion cruised to the seventh
professional title of his career.

seeds, no.1 seed Golan outsmarted the Indian national
champion, seeded second, 11-6 11-4 10-12 11-5 in the
best-of-five match at the Cricket Club of India to
clinch the crown in the second tournament of the
four-legged JSW Indian Squash Circuit 2015

$15,000 PSA event here on Sunday. Waller’s controlled
play carved out a 3-1 victory over Mumbai lad Mahesh
