Daphne finished 6th in World Cup

Daphne Tan might have missed the World Cup honours this year, however, her second attempt in this bowling championship had not been futile.

Daphne managed to overcome all challenges posed by many other international bowlers in this annual bowling championship, competing amongst many prominent international keglers including Carolyn Dorin-Ballard of USA, Fiona Banks of England, Wendy Chai of Malaysia and Ann-Maree Putney of Australia.

To be able to qualify for the quarter finals for only the top 8 bowlers in the division is no small feat. Daphne managed to keep up with her game over the 3 days of 16 qualifying games and another 8 games after the first cut of the top 24 bowlers, where she secured a spot in the quarter finals, opened to only the top 8 keglers.

After the quarter finals, Daphne came in 6^th with a total of 6756 pinfalls. Though she did not managed to secure the top 3 spots, her second participation in this year’s QubicaAMF Bowling World Cup had proven to be a vast improvement from her first participation in 2007.

Jonathan Ang who represented Singapore in the Men’s division finished on the 45^th position. Though Jonathan missed the cut to the top 24 in the Men’s division, this is his first participation in competitions of such stature.

Both Daphne and Jonathan were selected after an internal selection trial where both of them emerged tops.  Their participation this year had proven to provide both bowlers the opportunity to measure themselves against renowned international rivals.
