JASON RULES THE ROOST
At the completion of the second block of six games in the 40th AMF Bowling World Cup in Singapore, Aussie Jason Belmonte (pictured) still has a firm grasp on pole position with a 66-pin buffer over Petter Hansen of Norway. Belmonte's unique two-handed delivery is certainly delighting the crowd of spectators and fellow players alike.

"I'm pretty happy with my performance today," said Belmonte. "It was a little unexpected as the center is so high scoring. I came in hoping to make the first cut to 24 and build my way up. I didn't think I would get out of the gate so fast."

This halfway stage has one past champion currently in contention with Mohamed Khalifa Al-Qubaisi in fifth place. In third is Jack Guay from Canada, the man who broke the ice with the first perfect game in Mexico in 1994, a feat he repeated in Brazil the following year.

There have now been two perfect games this year. Adding to that bowled by Pawel Bielski of Poland yesterday is Lithuania's Andrejus Puskariovas, who achieved this feat in his seventh game of the afternoon block. He is currently in 35th position.
