2016EBT15JesperSvenssonSweden’s Jesper Svensson continued to make bowling history as the two-handed lefty won his third European Bowling Tour title this season in the Norwegian Open 2016 by Brunswick Sunday at Veitvet Bowling Center in Oslo, Norway.

At the age of 21 Svensson (right) has now won eight European Bowling Tour titles along with five Professional Bowlers Association titles, including a victory in the PBA signature event, the Tournament of Champions earlier this year. Pictured above are thr top 3 in the 2016 Norwegian Open. From left to right, Mikael Ross (2nd), champion Jesper Svensson and Ida Andersson (3rd), all of Sweden

By virtue of finishing qualifying in the top 8, Svensson bypassed the semi-final and the first three rounds of the finals. He averaged 240 to lead the top 8 players of round 4 in the fifth and last round, where Svensson averaged 233 to widen his lead from 31 to 55 pins and to cruise to the title, worth 40.000 Norwegian Kronor or more 4.430 Euro.

Svensson became the fifth player in the history of the European Bowling Tour and the second this season who has won three EBT titles in a single season. With his victory Svensson will overtake the other three-time champion this season, Richard Teece of England, by four points to regain the lead in the 2016 EBT men’s point ranking.

The final round mirrored the qualifying as seven Swedes and the best Norwegian bowler, Frederik Tjernes, did battle.

Tjernes and Daniel Fransson tied at 1280. The Norwegian finished fifth as he had the lowest game in the last round and therefore the higher two-game series, which broke the tie.

Qualifying leader Anton Persson finished seventh with 1277 with Isabelle Hultin in eighth place with 1244.

The Norwegian Open 2016 by Brunswick was the 15th and penultimate stop of the 2016 European Bowling Tour and the last of six EBT “Satellite” tournaments this season. The tournament ran from Oct. 7-16 at Veitvet Bowling Center, a 26-laner in Norway’s capital city of Oslo.

The NO offered total prize fund of 239.000 Norwegian Kronor (approx. 26.466 Euro) with 40.000 NOK (approx. 4.430 Euro) going to the winner and a last-to-cash payout of 1.000 Kronor or 111 Euro for 60th place.

As the event clashed with the 52nd QubicaAMF Bowling World Cup in Shanghai, China, there was no onsite coverage of the Norwegian Open this year.

Qualifying of the Norwegian Open started on Friday, Oct. 7 and concluded Saturday, Oct. 15 with the final Squad 23. Women received 8 pins handicap each game (maximum is 300), an equality handicap provided to women in all EBT events. Top 3 women after qualifying, Isabelle Hultin, Ida Andersson and Nina Flack, all Sweden, received 5.000 NOK, 3.000 NOK and 2.000 NOK bonuses, respectively.

Total 60 players advanced to the finals on Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 15 & 16. Top 8 qualifiers were seeded in Round 4, qualifiers 9-16 went to Round 3, qualifiers 17-24 started in Round 2 and qualifiers 25-28 began in Round 1.

The other 32 finalists advanced to Saturday’s semifinal round and bowled six games scratch with the top 12 advancing to Final Round 1.

The remaining forty players determined the champion in five three-game rounds (rounds 1-4 starting from scratch). The field was trimmed to 32, 24, 16, and then eight players who bowled a final three-game block with the pinfall from Round 4 being carried forward.

The player with the highest six-game total earned the title, the 40.000 NOK top prize and 50 EBT ranking points (men and women in separate rankings).
