I have played David a lot over the
years and he can be a brutal opponent. He has impressed me
greatly with his ability to stay at the top and thrive with
another bunch of players coming through.
 He
is an amazing competitor with a cabinet full of trophies to
prove it, including four British Open titles and two World Open
wins. He has amassed a lot of other major titles on tour and he
is still up there and still able to mix it at 32.
I have been very impressed with his passion for the game and his
ability to maintain that level of performance.
He has been in the top ten in the world rankings for more than
100 consecutive months and celebrated his latest PSA Tour
success in February this year at the Bluenose Classic in Canada,
with his victory over England’s Peter Barker marking his 24th
Tour title in his 51st final.
David’s title tally extends his lead over Egypt’s Amr Shabana
(with 22 wins) as the current player with the most Tour trophies
to his name. |
