A stunning victory for rising New Zealand squash star Joelle King.
The 21-year-old kiwi has taken out the $US26,000 Women's Texas Open, her biggest ever win on the WISPA World Tour.
King upstaged top seed Rachael Grinham in the final, beating the Australian world number five 11-8, 6-11, 11-8 11-9. It is her second successive win over Grinham, having also toppled the high ranking Aussie at the New Zealand Open in August last year.
The victory should see King improve her current world ranking of 23.
