Lee Outlasts Lau & Leo To Take Hong Kong Chairman's Cup

21 Nov 2009

Max Lee outlasted fellow countryman Leo Au in today's final of the Chairman's Cup to win the $6,000 PSA Tour squash title at Cornwall Street Park Squash Centre in Kowloon on home soil in Hong Kong.

Indeed, seventh seed Leo Au's upset over top-seeded Australian Matthew Karwalski in the quarter-finals led to an all-Hong Kong semi-final line-up in the inaugural Tour event.

Au took out fourth seed Anson Kwong in one semi, while third seed Lee upset Dick Lau, the second seed, in the other to earn a surprise appearance in the climax.

But 21-year-old Lee was ultimately too strong for Au in the final, winning 11-5, 6-11, 11-5, 6-11, 11-8 to claim the third PSA Tour title of his career.

Final:
[3] Max Lee (HKG) bt [7] Leo Au (HKG) 11-5, 6-11, 11-5, 6-11, 11-8
