Michael Mak (left), Hong Kong, and Macau's Julia Lam (right) emerged as the mane's and women's champions at the Asian Bowling Federation Tour Macau leg July 3rd at COTAI International Bowling Center in Macau, China, to claim their first career titles on the ABF Tour.

In an all Hong Kong affair, Mak pulled off a 225-198 win over fellow Hong Kong national team bowler Eric Tseng to claim the men's title. Mak was the only player in the field who had games of 200 or better in each round.

The women's championship match was an all Macau affair in which Lam easily defeated Chan Weng Sam, 212-171, to land the second consecutive victory for a Macau woman after Patricia Hui's win last year. Lam ousted Hui in the opening round, 170-144.

The top 16 men and top 16 women of the Macau China International Open qualified for the Macau leg, the fifth stop of the ABF Tour this season.

Men's Macau Open champion Yannaphon Larp-apharat (left), Thailand, was eliminated in the first round while all Korean qualifiers including women's champion Shin Bo Hyun (right), did not compete in the ABF Tour leg.

The sixth leg will be held at Hong Kong Bowling City in Hong Kong on July 18th and will be followed one week later by the seventh and last stop of the Tour this season July 26th at Senayang Bowling Center in Jakarta, Indonesia.


The top 16 men and top 16 women in the 2011 ABF Tour rankings will qualify for the ABF Tour Tournament of Champions (dates and venue tbd).
