Nico Jons of Belgium has taken over the top position on the leader board after the third squad of this year's Brunswick Euro Challenge, posting an incredible 1518 with an even more outstanding 253 average over his qualifying games. He can certainly count on being in the top echelon for next Sunday's final rounds and hopefully make it to the Eurosport 2 televised final.
so far, 116 players have completed their six-game stint in the qualifying round and there are still another 20 squads to bowl.
The 'stars' of the bowling world will have a shock when they see Jons' 1518 at the top of the leader board so early in the tournament.
