2016EBT09MarkusJansson2.jpg2016EBT09DominicBarrett.jpgFor the second consecutive day at the Storm San Marino Open, Asian women put a stamp on the qualifying Thursday at Rose’n Bowl in Serravalle, San Marino. Sin Li Jane of Malaysia, who won squad 9 on Wednesday with 1329 improved by 170 pins in squad 12 to shoot into the qualifying lead with 1499 total, including handicap.

Sin Li (pictured above) averaged 241.83 for 1451 scratch, including games of 266, 238, 235, 203, 252 and 257, and added 48 pins handicap, an equality handicap provided to women in all EBT events, to overtake previous leader Markus Jansson (left) of Sweden by 45 pins.

The Malaysian professional, a frequent competitor on the Professional Women’s Bowling Association Tour in the United States, is the best of 26 women in the 186-player field from 25 countries. As the qualifying winner Sin Li would receive a 1.000 Euro bonus.

Jansson, who led qualifying since squad 5 with 1454, slipped one spot to second place. Two-time defending San Marino Open champion Dominic Barrett (above right) of England averaged 241.67 on Thursday evening to lead squad 14 and to leap into third place with 1450.

European champion and two time women’s point ranking leader (2011, 2013) Joline Persson Planefors (left) of Sweden was just 20 pins behind Barrett with 1382 scratch, an average of 230.33, and 1430 total to become the second woman in the top 8 in fourth place.

Rounding out the top 5 was Barrett’s compatriot and fellow PBA champion, Stuart Williams (above right), who slipped three spots with 1419. As the top 4 from the squads conducted on July 13-14 (squad 9-14), Sin Li, Barrett and Williams (with his 1397 series in squad 14) would be automatically qualified for the finals if they don’t finish among the top 35 in the overall qualifying standings.
