#PSAWorldTour

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.
