5th BRUNSWICK EURO CHALLENGE PLAZA BOWLING SAINT MAXIMIN FRANCE March 8 - 16, 2008 UPPING THE ANTE Mike Fagan from the United States (pictured, right) put plenty of air between himself and the previous leader Rafael Medina as he stormed to a 1,390 series over the six qualifying games early on Wednesday evening, making it all look very easy. Fresh from 'down under', Bowler of the Year Jason Belmonte (left) zoomed into second place, just 17 pins adrift and Wendy van der List from The Netherlands ups the female scores as a new leading lady now third overall.                                                 *     *     *     * Wednesday night's second squad, full to the hilt with 56 players, saw Shaun Ng from Singapore bid for glory, winning the squad to earn his place in Sunday's finals, but slotting into third place overall with 1,344. Mike Fagan remains the overnight watchman with Jason Belmonte in second place. The ubiquitous Timothy Mack from the United States moves into fourth. (Timothy? We're getting very formal here, aren't we?). Thursday sees the tempo increase with four squads at 10:00, 14:00, 18:00 and 22:00. RANK NAME NAT GEN CAT BEST PINS LAST G.
