Flint, Michigan - HEAD Penn’s Rocky Carson, the World’s No. 2 ranked racquetball player, has found a new home court advantage on the courts of the Davidson Athletic Club in Michigan. For the second year in a row Rocky won the Red Swain Shootout event on the International Racquetball Tour (IRT). The tournament victory was Carson’s first of the 2015-2016 season. He conquered the final in three games straight over Jose Rojas, 11-2, 11-2, 11-8.
