USBC Masters champion Bernice Lim of Singapore maintained a 125-pin lead in the fourth and final five-game block of the women’s division at the 52nd QubicaAMF Bowling World Cup to lead the top 24 players into the second stage Friday at Hao’s Bowling in Shanghai, China.

2016BWCJennyWegner2Jenny Wegner (right) of Sweden, who led the European Bowling Tour women’s point ranking in the 2015 season, was the best bowler of B squad and tied John at 4279. Wegner was seeded fifth as John had the higher last game, 224 to 211, which broke the tie.

2016BWCRebeccaWhiting2Rebecca Whiting (left) of Australia, who led B squad after 15 games, slipped to sixth place with 4219 (210.95). She was followed by Iliana Lomeli of Mexico, who out-bowled the other 62 women and the 81 men on Thursday averaging 240 for five games.

Zhang Yuhong from the host country China is sandwiched between the two World Cup champions in 15th place with 3891 (194.55).
