The world No 56 has bounced back from a game down to beat Australian Matthew Karwalski 7-11, 11-7, 11-7, 11-8 in the qualifying finals.

He is the third New Zealander to make the main draw of the US$92,000 PSA World Tour event, joining Martin Knight and Campbell Grayson, who both gained direct entry via their top 50 world rankings.
