25th February, K.Lumpur: Malaysia's Adrian Ang and England's Hayley White led the 12 men and women finalists in the Masters first block finals of the V Commonwealth Tenpin Bowling Championship on Friday. | ||
Without a doubt, Adrian Ang is the most consistent bowler in the championship after having won the All Events gold medal yesterday. And today, the 22-year-old showed his consistency to win four and drew one match in the 6-game round-robin finals for a total of 1353. Despite a poor start in his opening game in which he bowled a low 165 opener, Ang didn't give up hopes and displayed the fighting spirit that hase earned him his spot to represent host country Malaysia in this championship. Mixed Doubles gold medalist, Matt Miller kept up the pressure on the Malaysian but had to content with second position with five wins and a total of 1299, 54 pins adrift the leader. | Malaysia's Adrian Ang leading the Men's first block | |

"Oh God, please help me to win for I always want to win. But if in thy inscrutable wisdom Thou willest me not to win, then make me a good loser. For when the one great scorer comes to write against your name, he writes not that you won or lost, but how you played the game."
