The two top seeds are still alive in the Classic Pro Racquetball Tour (CPRT) division at the 2012 United Healthcare US Open Racquetball Championships in Minneapolis, but #1 seed and three time defending champion needed five games to stay that way, as Woody Clouse was pushed to the limit by Doug Ganim.
Ganim, a former IRF World Champion in doubles, was up two games to one on Clouse, but the reigning champion dug in and pulled out the victory, 9-5, 7-9, 6-9, 9-3, 9-5.
Second seed and 2008 US Open Champion Jimmy Lowe won his match in four games against Jeff Stark, 9-4, 9-4, 6-9, 9-7.
Jeffery Hanno had an injury forfeit win over Cliff Swain, and Keith Minor beat Arturo Burrel, 9-4, 9-6, 4-9, 9-3.
