Ryan Donegan announced as our 2007 wild card entry

Every tournament organizer/promoter is allowed to enter one player of their choice into the main draw of a P.S.A. event. This is a player whose world ranking would normally be too low to get into the tournament without some assistance. Typically promoters use the wildcard on their local pro, or an aspiring junior, to create local interest. Last year we gave our wild card entry to U.S. #1 Julian Illingworth. This year we are continuing to help our U.S. players by giving the position to U.S. Men’s Team member Ryan Donegan. Ryan is currently ranked #121 in the world and the ranking points that he will gain from our event should help to lift him into the top 100. Ryan is originally from Chicago, but is now the assistant squash pro at The Racquet Club in St. Louis.
