    Canadian George Lambert IV topped Alex Liew, Malaysia, in three games, 2-1, in the men's Masters finals en route to win the first gold medal for Canada. Liew, the No. 1 seed, won the first game on short oil, 190-168, but Lambert struck out in game #2 on long oil to force a decider, 216-215. The match was decided in the final two frames when Lambert needed three strikes to shut Liew. And that was exactly what he did, 200-204.

    However, the highlight was the semi-final match between Lambert and Zulmazran Zulkifli of Malaysia, who shot the tournament's first 300-game in Mixed Doubles. Despite Lambert, seeded third, came from a 276-223 victory over Billy Nimick, Northern Ireland, on long oil, Zulkifli decided to bowl on the same condition. Lambert started with eight strikes in a row and shut out Zulkifli, who struck on all but one of his first eight shots, with spare-strike, 269-245. Lambert earned silver and Zulkifli received bronze.

    In the opening match on long oil between the two Aussies Jason Walsh and Brandon Qualischefski, Walsh advanced, 202-186. Choosing the short pattern, Walsh fell to Billy Nimick, Northern Ireland, in the next match. Nimick started with the first seven to win, 277-210. Nimick then ran into Lambert, who started with nine consecutive strikes.

    In the women's Masters finals, Shalin Zulkifli, seeded No. 1, swept Caroline Lagrange, Canada, in two games, 2-0, to win the title. In first game on short oil, Zulkifli sent her opponent packing, winning by 98 pins (279-181)! The game on long oil was closer but the favorite cruised to victory, 216-184 .

    Lagrange, who defeated Singles champion Ann-Maree Putney of Australia in the semi-final match, 235-196 (long oil), claimed the silver medal. Putney won bronze.

    In the opening matches, Donna Adams from England, who won five gold and 1 silver medal in the 2002 CTBC, defeated teammate Jo Harries, 237-224 (short oil) and Malta's Sue Abela, 212-203 (long oil), before falling to Lagrange, 193-177 (short oil), in Match #3.
