Men’s $6k Challenger, 21-15 Apr, Santa Fe, USA
Malaysia’s Yee Xian Siow continued his fine season, winning the Palace Kiva Open 2026.
The 25-year-old had already reached four Challenger event finals in 2025/26, winning two of them, and he added a third trophy to his collection with this success in Santa Fe.
He did so dropping only two games all week, too, with a 3-1 success over David Baillargeon being followed by a straight-games win over Noah Meredith, to set up a final against Nathan Kueh.
There was little to split the two players across the first two games, with each player winning one game 11-9, but Siow took control from there, losing only 11 more points across the next two games to wrap up glory.
