Tan, seeded 7th, decided to start on the short-oil pattern and won the first two games on this pattern. Asbaty, however, leveled the match twice when she won the second and fourth game on the long-oil pattern.

Tides turned in the deciding fifth game, and Asbaty cruised to the title with a 234-173 win en route to become the first two-time Masters champion in the history of the WTBA Women's World Championships.

"Even when I was a little girl I dreamed of one day becoming one of the best bowlers in the world," Asbaty said. "In 2003, I realized that dream and now four years later it's nice to know I've still got it."

On the way to the title, Asbaty disposed of the top two seeds in the Masters. In the quarterfinals Friday, she took out No. 1 seed Choi Jin-A of Korea 3-1 and in the semi-finals Saturday, she defeated fellow Team USA player and second-seed Tennelle Milligan, 3-2.

Asbaty shared the medal stand with Tan, who earned the silver, as well as Milligan and Korea's Kim Yeau-Jin, who tied for the bronze medal.

"This is really more about our team than it is about me," Asbaty said. "Team USA medaled in every event in this World Championships and that's a tremendous accomplishment."

This is the first time the Americans collected medals in every event since 1971. They came away with seven total medals. Milligan had the high individual total among Team USA with five medals (silver in trios, team and all-events and bronze in doubles and Masters).

The Women's World Championships featured 225 athletes from 43 countries competing in six events - Doubles, Trios, Team, Singles, All Events and Masters.
