With an opening six-game series of 1340, Dutchman Hans Snelting, 32, from Duivendrecht led the opening squad of the 32nd
Ciutat de Barcelona at the delightful Bowling Pedralbes, outpointing one of the strongest opening squads on any stage of the European Bowling Tour.
Opening with a humble 197, Snelting then put together a string of 200-plus games before sliding with a 191 in his fifth game. A 239 finish ensured him top place on the leader board for a while, eleven points better than second-placed Yoan Alix from France.
A quick glance down the scores from the 28 players in this opening field results in the high game looking like 268, rolled from the hands of Moises Perez.
