15 May 2006

It was third time lucky for Australia's Scott Arnold in the Hilton Open when he beat Malaysian Mohd Nafiizwan Adnan in the final of the new PSA Tour event in Hilton, Western Australia, to secure his maiden PSA title in his third appearance in a final.

Runner-up in New Zealand's North Island Championship in July last year, then the Prague Open in the Czech Republic in May, fourth seed Arnold reached his first PSA final on home soil after upsetting second-seeded compatriot Steve Finitsis in the semi-finals.

The 20-year-old from Sydney recovered from a game down to beat third seed Adnan 9-11, 11-7, 11-6, 11-6 to make his Tour breakthrough.

Final:
[4] Scott Arnold (AUS) bt [3] Mohd Nafiizwan Adnan (MAS) 9-11, 11-7, 11-6, 11-6
