1961 Men's British Open Squash Championship

The 1961 Open Championship was held at the Royal Automobile Club in Pall Mall, London from 29 November - 4 December 1960.
Once again the Open championship was held during the previous December to avoid a clash with the professional championship. This method would be used until 1969.
Azam Khan won his third consecutive title beating Mo Khan in the final. A third place play off also took place in which Roshan Khan defeated Denis Hughes 9-3 9-0 9–3.[1]
