04/19/11
Thailand's Kritchawat Jampakhao (pictured left) and Yanee Saebae (right) swept the men's and women's titles in the 2011 Asian Bowling Federation Tour Thailand leg Monday at S.F. Strike Bowl Ngamwongwan in Bangkok, Thailand.
In the men's final, former national team member Kritchawat defeated Kim Byung Suk, Korea, 204-202, to claim the title. Kim, who needed to mark in his 10th frame to shut out his opponent, left a split and failed to convert it. The Thai took full advantage and struck out for a two-pin victory.
The Thailand leg was the first event for women on the 2011 ABF Tour. Yanee, who finished third in the women's Open Masters division of 37th MWA Thailand International Open yesterday, easily topped Jo Hyun-Jung, Korea, in the women's title match, 193-154.
The fifth stop of the 2011 Asian Bowling Federation Tour will be the Macau leg on July 3 following the Macau China International Open Tenpin Bowling Championships from June 26 through July 2, 2011 in Macau, China.
After the Bahrain and Egypt legs have been cancelled, this year's Tour consists of seven legs - three in the Middle East without women's division and four in West Asia with men's and women's division. The remaining stops after Macau will be held in Hong Kong (July 18) and Indonesia (July 26).
Participants in the ABF Tour legs earn ranking points from 75 points for the winner to 13 points for 16th place. The top 16 men and top 16 women at the end of the season will qualify for the ABF Tour Tournament of Champions to be held in 2012.
