Jasmine Yeong-Nathan of Singapore Thrashed Defending Champion Ann-Maree Putney to Win 44th AMF Bowling World Cup in Mexico

Jasmine Yeong-Nathan created history when she became the first Singaporean to win the AMF Bowling World Cup. Remy Ong of Singapore came close in 2002 when he managed to clinch 2nd place at the 38th Bowling World Cup.

Jasmine Yeong-Nathan proved she totally deserved her top seeding by demolishing the second seed and defending champion Ann-Maree Putney in two games 263-222 and 298-215.

Jasmine almost claimed her second perfect game at the 44th AMF World Cup when she hit 9 consecutive strikes in the second game of the Finals though the 10th strike did not arrive.

With such scintillating form throughout the World Cup, Jasmine Yeong-Nathan has proven herself to be a deserving champion.

In an earlier step-ladder game between the second seed Ann-Maree Putney of Australia and Zara Glover of England, Ann-Maree Putney beat Zara Glover in two games 246-219 and 248-202.

In the Men's Finals, Derek Eoff of USA beat Martin Larsen of Sweden in three games (221 - 229, 279-279, 278-196) to win the 44th AMF World Cup.

Martin Larsen of Sweden (second seed) had beaten Zulmazran Zulkifli of Malaysia (third seed) in three games (203-187, 180-237, 249-187) in an earlier step-ladder finals.
