IRT 23rd Annual Turkey Shoot - Preliminary results

Only one upset in the qualifying round at the 23rd Annual Turkey Shoot in Garden City, Kansas - a Tier 1 International Racquetball Tour (IRT) event, where young American Nicholas Riffel defeated Robert Collins, 12-10, 11-3, 2-11, 12-10, to reach the Round of 16 for the first time.

Riffel will play Jansen Allen in the 16s on Friday.

As mentioned in our preview, we're not expecting any upsets in the 16s. Charlie Pratt is the most likely player to create one, but his opponent - Chris Crowther - is not to be taken lightly.

Matches can be viewed over the web via the IRT Network.
