Kane Waselenchuk reaffirmed his position as the #1 player on the International Racquetball Tour (IRT) Saturday by defeating #3 Daniel De La Rosa, 5-11, 11-9, 11-3, 11-3, to win the ProKennex Tournament of Champions in Portland, Oregon. Waselenchuk's win likely locks up the #1 ranking at season's end as there's only one more event to go, and we don't think #2 Rocky Carson will be able to get enough points from that event to overtake Waselenchuk in the rankings.
De La Rosa helped Waselenchuk's goal of being #1 at season's end by beating Carson in the semi-finals, 6-11, 11-7, 3-11, 11-4, 11-7, on Saturday.
The IRT will close out its 2015-16 season next weekend win the Coast to Coast California Open in Reseda, California, May 19-22.
