No champion has successfully defended his
title in the ten-year history of the World
Tenpin Masters, and that will not happen this year
either.
A heart-stopping first game with strikes from
both right through to the eighth frame, made
one wonder who would be the first to crack. A
loose ball from Jason left a single pin in the
ninth frame, but he doubled in the tenth to go
into the second game with a slim two point
lead.
Ball after ball buried in the pocket left
single pins whilst Jason maintained his strike
rate and emerged the victor.

Talk about a tight match! Nothing can come
closer than this confrontation and a one pin
victory for Paul Moor over Singapore's Remy
Ong sees the Englishman in the final for the
second successive year.
In the 2006 final, against American Chris
Barnes, Paul held a healthy lead through to
the eighth frame of the second game but
suffered a wide split and with that open frame
handed the match to Chris.
Now Paul faces Aussie Jason Belmonte in the
final. A lefty versus the guy with the unique
two-handed delivery. The feeling is that this
is going to be a final to remember.
Apologies for the occasional delays with the
scores. We're suffering internet uploading
problems which we pray will not occur again
through the final.

Well, it had the makings of a great
final, but nobody would have thought that it
would be this good. A bonus for the crowded
Metrodome to witness the World Ranking Masters'
second perfect game and just a nine-spare robbed
Paul of a joint affair.
Nobody and nothing could withstand the onslaught
of the high revving bowling ball from the unique
delivery of Jason, so powerful that maybe the
pinsetter has moved back a few inches after his
six games today.
We've got to feel sorry for Paul, though. Coming
second for the third consecutive year was
heart-breaking. especially as this is one
tournament he has his heart on winning, a really
elusive dream.
One thing is for certain, there will be a huge
audience when this program is aired around the
world.
Can this event be bettered next year? We very
much doubt it. Return to Main Page
