Bowlers Journal International - Serving Bowling for Over 85 Years

An outstanding performance by Aussie Jason Belmonte (pictured) in this stage saw him leading the top eight into the final rounds later this afternoon and evening. His high game of 279 set him well on course for the best four-game series of the day so far and if he can keep up this pace he will walk away with yet another EBT title and trophy, not to mention the substantial cash prize.
His unique two-handed style has the crowds of spectators gasping at the power of his delivery. He's unique in another way, too, as although he really belongs in the Asian zone rankings, right now he's top of the European rankings, taking over the position prviously held by Paul Moor of England who failed to qualify in this event.
The remaining eight players now bowl a further four games and then the top four will advance to the semifinals.
