The qualifying rounds are over at the 2012 San Diego Open, this weekend's Tier 1 event on the International Racquetball Tour (IRT), and although IRT #1 Kane Waselenchuk isn't in the draw due to injury, there is a Canadian in the Round of 16 as Colin Mohr - the lowest seed in his bracket - made it through qualifying and will play IRT #2 Rocky Carson in the Round of 16 on Friday.
To make the 16s, Mohr defeated fellow Canuck, James Landeryou, in the last qualifying round, 9-11, 13-11, 11-3, 4-11, 11-3, in the only third round qualifying match to go five games.
Tim Landeryou, James's older brother, had a chance to reach the 16s, but lost to Colombian Juan Herrera, 11-5, 3-11, 11-5, 12-10. Eearlier, Landeryou beat racquetball legend Ruben Gonzalez, 11-4, 11-9, 3-11, 11-7, in the second qualifying round.
The other big winner coming out of qualifying was Jose Diaz, who beat Anthony Herrera, 11-7, 12-10, 8-11, 11-9, in the last round of qualifying after defeating Lee Connell in the previous round, 11-2, 11-5, 11-6. Diaz will face Shane Vanderson in the 16s on Friday.
Former IRT #1 Sudsy Monchik's tournament ended with a loss to Alex Landa in the straight games, 12-10, 11-5, 11-6. Landa then beat Taylor Knoth, 3-11, 12-10, 11-6, 11-5, and that win will put him into the quarter finals, as Kane Waselenchuk's withdrawal from the tournament was after the draw was publicized, so he could not be removed from it.
The IRT Network will be web-casting the San Diego Open Round of 16 on Friday beginning at 11:30 AM PST.
