Local hero Abdullah Al Muzayen fully justified his top billing in the Martyr Fahad Al-Ahmad Squash Tournament in Kuwait when he beat Egypt's No2 seed Andrew Wagih Shoukry in the final of the PSA World Tour Challenger 10 event in its second year at the South Surrah Ministries Complex in Hawalli.
The 25-year-old Kuwaiti number one dropped just one game on his way the final - but kept a clean sheet in the climax as he dismissed Shoukry, the world No52 from Cairo, 11-7, 11-8, 14-12 in 40 minutes.
The triumph marks the 15th PSA Tour title of Al Muzayen's career.
