Ronnie Russell (left) of the United States won the Euro Challenge and sits in 13th place overall with 192 points.
Parkin remains on top of the women's points list with 506 points despite not competing in Kuwait or Germany.
The leaderboard is full of Team USA members with Kelly Kulick second (484 points), Liz Johnson third (right, 373 points), Shannon Pluhowsky fourth (305 points) and Diandra Asbaty fifth (297 points).
Sweden's Sandra Andersson (left) was the top female finisher in Kuwait and is sixth with 240 points, while Singapore's Jazreel Tan (right) earned the maximum 50 points in Germany and sits in seventh with 225 points.
The World Bowling Tour's next event is the It's Daejeon International Open Bowling Tournament, a major event on the tour that will take place in Daejeon, Korea from July 7-13.
