Weekend Round Up - Landeryou, Hawthorne & Swain win

There were three International Racquetball Tour (IRT) events on the weekend: one Tier 4 event and two Tier 5 events. In Winnipeg, Manitoba, Tim Landeryou won the 39th Keystone Classic Racquetball Tournament, which could be the longest running racquetball tournament in the world and was a Tier 4 IRT event, by defeating Coby Iwaasa, 11-9, 11-9, 11-9, in the final. It was Landeryou's second win in as many weekends, as he won Racquetball Canada's National Team Selection Event last weekend in Brossard, Quebec.

Landeryou advanced to the Keystone final with a win over Kurtis Cullen in the semi-finals, 11-3, 11-4, 6-11, 11-2. In the other semi, Iwaasa defeated James Landeryou - Tim's younger brother, 11-9, 11-8, 4-11, 9-11, 11-9.

Elsewhere, Andy Hawthorne won the 2013 Sweetheart Racquetball Tournament in Columbus, Ohio on the weekend. He defeated Brian Simpson in the final, 11-1, 7-11, 11-5, 10-12, 11-4. In the semi-finals, Hawthorne beat Kyle Ulliman, 11-2, 11-2, 11-3, and Simpson defeated Filip Vesely, 11-2, 11-6, 11-9.

Finally in Utica, Michigan, Cliff Swain defeated Brad Schopieray, 12-10, 11-5, 11-9, to win the Motor City Rollout. Swain beat Walt Podraza in the semi-finals, 11-4, 11-6, 11-1, while Schopieray defeated Ryan Minto, 11-6, 11-4, 11-1, in the other semi.
