Doha: Kuwaiti veteran Mohammad Almasoud claimed his maiden PSA Tour title, beating Yousef Essam Farag in the QSF 4 PSA final.
17 years separate the two players in age, with 36-year-old Almasoud hoping to deny the 19-year-old a title on home soil, but he fell behind early after losing game one 11-7.
The No.5 seed drew level by winning the second but soon found himself on the back foot once more, losing the third 11-6 to give home favourite Farag a glimpse of glory.
But a glimpse would be all he would get, as Almasoud took the next two games 11-7, 11-6 to get his hands on the trophy, his first on the PSA Challenger Tour.
