For just a while it looked as though there was going to be yet more Barrett Dom-ination as the lithe Englander piled on the pressure
to come down the home straight with 1352.
But attention should have been elsewhere as over on the low side of the house Denmark's Thomas Larsen, a name to be revered in Scandinavian bowling and on the Tour, bettered that Barrett compilation by ten sticks and therefore takes Squad 6 honors.
The 20-year-old ex-student, attempting to earn a crust from bowling now that he has left school and has yet to find gainful employment, has been on the Danish national team for the past ten years and was a distinguished junior for a few years before that.
He lives near the fairytale city of Odense, which is also a vibrant bowling community with a fine center that has hosted a few prestigious international events.
Sweden's renowned Pergamon club now has a member up among the leaders as talented leftie Peter Ljung amassed 1346 for third place on the squad. Clara Guerrero, the Colombian now living in Texas, USA, tried in vain to share the tournament's first place with fellow countrywoman Luz Adriana Leal's 1366, but fell 28 points short on 1338.
There are still competitors trickling in and one of the last to arrive should be Finland's Osku Palermaa, very much presently involved in the stepladder final of the Dubai International. At the time of writing he had advanced to the title match after defeating Shaker Al-Hassan and Remy Ong to take on Naif Oqab for the first prize.
STOP PRESS: Palermaa won the Dubai International.
