Last Updated 15 May 2010, 17:44 IST

The former world record holder, who will face Olympic and World champion Usain Bolt and American rival Tyson Gay later in the season on the 14-meet circuit, won in 9.81 seconds.

Powell's compatriot Nesta Carter was second in 9.88 with American Travis Padgett finishing third in 9.92 seconds. Powell had run 9.75 in his semifinal heat, which would have been a world leading time if it had not been wind-assisted.
