    Ramadona, who led the men's local pool in qualifying to earn a first-round bye, averaged 237.7 over ten games in Round Two en route to earn the No. 1 seed for the six-player stepladder finals.

    In the title match, Ramadona topped No. 2 seed, Yaqoub Al-Shatti of Kuwait, 237-201, to wrap up the title and to earn 150 million Indonesia Rupee or approximately $13,185.

    Ng, seeded first in the women's finals, lost the first game of the championship match against fellow-countrywoman Cherie Tan, 222-220. As in most of the Asian Open Masters events, the No. 1 seed of the Indonesia Open finals must be defeated twice to win the title.

    Ng rebounded with a 206-197 win in the decisive game to seal the victory and to pocket the 50.000.000 IDR top prize (approx. $4,395).

    The top 16 Asian men and the top 16 Asian women qualified for the Indonesia leg, the seventh stop of the Asian Bowling Federation Tour, on September 23.
