Paul Moor of England led the sixth qualifying squad Friday evening at Chandra Bowling in Nieuwegein, Netherlands, with 1492 six-game total but fell 10 pins short off the lead to jump into second place in the European Bowling Tour’s Chandra Open.

Moor (pictured above), the all-time EBT title leader, won his 17th career title in the 28th Irish Open Championships in January, had five games between 237 and 279 and a low game of 215, an average of 248.67 for six games.

Dutch women’s national team members Nicole Sanders (right) and Lisanne Breeschoten (below left) are the best of 23 women in the field in second and third place with 1486 and 1450, including 8 pins handicap per game, respectively.

His compatriot and fellow world champion in trios (2014, Abu Dhabi, UAE), Carsten Warming Hansen tied Larsen at 1435 in squad 6 and ranks sixth due to Larsen’s higher five-game total.

Jeffrey van de Wakker, Netherlands, slipped to seventh place with 1433, while three-time EBT titlist, Ghislaine Stigter-van der Tol, rounds out the top 8 with 1431, including handicap. The top 8 players at the end of the qualifying will receive a first-round bye.
