Intercollegiate Champ Khalifa Enters PST Event
from Tour Media

September2, 2013 - Pro Squash Tour announced today that Amr Khaled Khalifa has registered to compete in PST's Bobcat Classic, which will be held at Bates College in Lewiston, Maine next month.
 
Khalifa is college squash's national champion. Originally from Egypt, he is about to enter his sophomore year at St. Lawrence University in upstate New York. Before coming to the States for his college education, he won the World Junior Squash Championship.
 
"He is obviously a wonderfully talented young man," said PST's Joe McManus. "He is also a great ambassador for the game off the court. We're thrilled to welcome him to PST competition."
 
Khalifa may have the oportunity to compete against two legends of the game in Maine. David Palmer (Australia), PST's reigning champion, and Thierry Lincou (France) have also registered to compete in Maine. Both Palmer and Lincou were busy this summer representing their countries during the world team championships. France finished 3rd and Australia was 4th.
 
"For that weekend," McManus continued, "the most interesting story lines in squash will be coming from the courts at Bates College."
 
Running alongside the professional squash tournament will be several amateur divisions. The entry fee of $30 also includes complimentary admission to each pro match.
