Pontus Andersson of Sweden averaged over 220 in the finals of the Track Dream-Bowl Palace Open to win his first title on the European Bowling Tour Sunday afternoon at Dream-Bowl Palace in Munich, Germany.

Pictured above from left to right: Richard Teece (2nd), champion Pontus Andersson, Dominic Barrett (3rd) and Francois Louw (4th).

The two-time World Youth champion rolled four-game series of 952 and 923 in Rounds 3 and 4, respectively, to build a comfortable 107-pin lead over 2016 EBT point ranking winner, Richard Teece, leading the top four into the one-game eliminator semi-finals.

Though Andersson suffered a low game of 156, he maintained a 34-pin lead over Teece, 2031 to 1997. Dom Barrett (right) of England, who is tied for second place on the all-time EBT titles list with Osku Palermaa of Finland with 13 wins, fired a 254 game to overtake Francois Louw of South Africa, 1938 to 1911, but both were eliminated to finish in third and fourth place, respectively.

It was the third consecutive top 10 finish on the Tour this month for Louw (left), including a third place in the Madrid Challenge and sixth place in the San Marino Open (both won by Canadian Francois Lavoie).

Andersson and Teece (right) rolled one more game and though Teece narrowed the gap by another 14 pins he was unable to overtake the Swede and settled for second place with 2198. Andersson wrapped up the title with a 187 game for 2218 total.

Andersson received 5.000 Euro for the win, Teece took home 3.500 Euro for second place, while Barrett and Louw earned 2.000 Euro

National team member Pascal Winternheimer was the best German bowler finishing in seventh place, while women’s national team member Vanessa Timter (left) was the best of 34 women in the 192-player field from 23 countries in 10th place to win the women’s ranking in the Track Open.

The 2017 European Bowling Tour features 11 tournaments in 9 countries including two “Platinum”, two “Gold”, one “Silver”, three “Bronze” and three “Satellite” events, which offer total prize fund of roughly 560.000 Euro.

The top 50 men and the top 50 women in each event receive ranking points. Those points will be tabulated throughout the season to determine the top 8 men and top 8 women, who will be eligible to compete in the 11th EBT Masters February 12, 2018 in Tilburg, Netherlands.
