New Zealand's Paul Coll has won the Hong Kong Squash Open by beating Egyptian Ali Farag in the men's final.
Coll defeated Farag in an epic five-game battle to become the first New Zealand man to triumph in Hong Kong.
It's Coll's second Platimum title of the season following his U.S. Open win.
"I'm stoked," said Coll afterwards.
"After U.S. Open I was preparing for this one - I had Singapore as well but this was my main target.
"I really wanted to target the Platinums this year and I've got my team with me to try and win that.
"I'm happy with my performances - not just tonight but all week. I've really tried to play some aggressive squash and this brand that I'm going for.
"To get a second Platinum of the season is very good for my confidence with the way that I'm playing. I want to keep that going for the rest of the season."
