LARSEN REIGNS SUPREME

Martin Larsen of Sweden (pictured) set the pace in this morning's Squad 7, hitting 730 over his first three games, with a high of 258. The 24-year-old from Gothenburg kept up a solid strikefest over the second block with 679 to top the squad on 1,409. He needed at least a 265 in his final game to get into eighth place overall, and did just that.

"I had a good first four games and then ran into trouble on the last pair of lanes." said Larsen. "They were every dry so I moved left, but that didn't do much good. But then I saw another bowler play the right gutter so I moved 15 boards right and that turned out good.

"Up until then I hadn't played much differently than the last two squads, when I had 1,340 and 1,347. I knew I could improve on that if I could keep out of trouble. I made the right moves at the right times and the scores went up."
