Denies Hussain Al-Suwaidi's bid for back-to-back titles

Wu Siu Hong (pictured left ad right with KSA Bowling Federation board member Fahad Alisaa), Hong Kong, put an end to a six-year title drought on the Asian Bowling Federation Tour when he defeated the winner of the 2010 season-opening leg in Kuwait, Hussain Al-Suwaidi, UAE, to win the Saudi Arabia leg Friday at Universal Bowling Center in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

In the title match, Siu Hong flew past Al-Suwaidi, 255-186, to finally get the monkey off of his back. Siu Hong's last victory on the ABF Tour came in the 2004 ABF Tour Tournament of Champions.

On his way to the title match, Siu Hong eliminated Biboy Rivera, Philippines in the opening round, 238-198, then sent Andrew Frawley, Australia, packing, 229-181, before he topped Khaled Al-Dubyyan, Kuwait, with his sole sub-par game, 180-168.

Al-Suwaidi (pictured right) was 7-0 on the 2010 ABF Tour before losing the title match. After four straight wins en route to the title in Kuwait earlier this month, the lefty added wins against Ryan Lalisang, Indonesia, 219-179; Chester King, Philippines, with the highest game of the event, 276-191; and Mohammad Al-Rageeba, Kuwait, 197-145.

The third stop of the 2010 Asian Bowling Federation Tour will be contested in Bangkok, Thailand on April 19 immediately following the 36th Thailand International Open Tenpin Bowling Championships 2010.
