The American pro had no answer to Mulkerrins' power serving and precision kills and the Galway man claimed the title- the first Tribesman and indeed Connacht man to win a ProStop tournament.
He had to win 6 rounds of handball in 3 days to take the title. However, it was not to be for Ciana Ni Churroin who was beaten by Catriona Casey in straight sets 15-4, 15-2.
