Eyles wins World title

Rodney Eyles is the new world champion. In the absence of Jansher Khan who could not play in Malaysia because of personal reasons, Eyles beat Peter Nicol15-11, 15-1 2, 15-12 in the final.

Eyles thus emulated coach Geoff Hunt and Rodney Martin. Hunt won four world titles.

Eyles had lost to Nicol twice this year As Nicol had beaten Jansher at the Kuwait Open, it was thought Eyles might lose. But he proved his class that day, playing some aggressive and consistent squash.
