Parke curbs Harris

Simon Parke, showing no signs of fatigue from his gruelling five-game semi-final victory over the top-seeded Brett Martin, defeated his fellow Englishman Del Harris in the final of the Malaysian Open men's tournament yesterday. Harris's best spell came early in the match when he opened an 8-3 lead, but Parke, the third seed, gradually clawed his way back and took the first game 15-14 in 25 minutes. Parke, the fitter of the two players, won the second game 15-6 in 13 minutes and wrapped up the third 15-7 in just 10 minutes.
