Different tournament, same outcome: Al-Hassan beats Oqab again to win ABF Tour Saudi Arabia leg
Universal Bowling Center in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia (April 22, 2008)
After finishing 1, 2 in the 2nd Kingdom International Open winner Shaker Al-Hassan (left) and runner-up Naif Oqab met for a re-match in the finals of the 2008 Asian Bowling Federation Tour Saudi Arabia leg once again at Universal Bowling Center in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Al-Hassan, who won the Open and $30,000, 224-208, remained undefeated as he flew past his compatriot, 245-215, to win the title and 75 ranking points, but no prize money.
Paeng Nepomuceno (left), Philippines, the No. 3 in the Open, also advanced to the semi-finals and fell again to Oqab, 245-207, to finish fourth. Bader Al-Sheikh (right), Saudi Arabia, who lost the other semi-final match against Al-Hassan, 248-210, landed in third place due to the higher game. The third leg of the 2008 ABF Tour will be held in Kuwait next week on April 29.
