Hong Kong's Michael Mak (pictured left) and local favorite Veronica De Souza posted big games in the finals of the 2015 Asian Bowling Federation Tour Macau leg to win the men's and women's title Monday at COTAI Bowling Center in Macau, China.

Mak started the men's championship match against De Souza's cousin, Zoe Dias Ma of Macau, with the front five strikes to build an insurmountable lead and never looked back. He finished with three strikes in the 10th frame for a 246-184 victory.

De Souza (right) threw eight strikes on her way to the women's title easily defeating Tannya Roumimper of Indonesia, 235-147.

The top 16 men and the top 8 women in the Macau China International Open determined the ABF Tour Macau leg champion in single-elimination match play.

Mak, who averaged 247.50 over four games, ousted fellow Hong Kong national team member Eric Tseng in the opening Round of 16, 246-218, and went on to defeat Bong Kihow of Malaysia in the quarterfinals, 241-156.

Mak rolled his highest game and the highest game of the men's finals in his semifinal match defeating compatriot Lau Kwun Ho (pictured left with Mak), 257-201. Zoe (on the right with Joshua Chow, right), who averaged 222 in the finals, almost matched Mak's score in the other semifinal match when he flew past Joshua Chow of Hong Kong, 255-194.

Mak received 75 ranking points to leap to overtake the lead in the men's point ranking after six out of ten events.

De Souza survived two close matches to advance to the women's title match. In the quarterfinals, De Souza eliminated former ABF Tour Tournament of Champions winner Wendy Chai by just one pin, 200-19.

The semifinal match against her compatriot, Hui Tong (on the left with De Souza, left) was even closer as the two Macau bowlers were deadlocked at 188. Tui, Hui Tong, Macau in roll-off, 39-26, after a 188-188. Tui, who shot a 258 game in the quarterfinals, managed only 26 pins in the two-frame roll-off, and De Souza advanced with 39.

Roumimper (right with Julia Lam, left) sidelined Tanaprang Sathean of Thailand in the opening match, 187-169, and topped Macau's Julia Lam, who shot a 278 game in first round, 216-189.

With the 60 points for her runner-up finish, Roumimper moved into first place in the women's ranking, while De Souza is tied for second place with Thailand leg winner Korngunya Aree of Thailand.
