With his victory in the World Bowling Tour Thailand 2017 in Bangkok Yannaphon Larp-apharat of Thailand and runner-up Jesper Svensson of Sweden took over the lead in the 2017 World Bowling Tour men’s point ranking.

The duo (Yannaphon above, Svensson on the right) is tied at 90 points on the annual point list. Yannaphon ranks first and the two-handed bowler from Sweden second due to the Thai’s higher finish as the highest points in a single event break the tie.

Stuart Williams (left) of England is just one point back in third place with 89 points, while previous leader Jason Belmonte of Australia and Marshall Kent, United States, are tied for fourth place at 85 points.

After four out of five events this season, the sixth place bowler, Chris Barnes (right, 75), United States, is merely 15 points away from first place, making the final tournament before the cut to the top three for the WBT men’s finals promising to be an extra exciting event.

Kent (left) received 13 points in the WBT Thailand event to hold on to the lead in the World Bowling Tour’s two-year rolling points race with 286 points. Dom Barrett of England remained in second place with 249 points.

Martin Larsen of Sweden retained third place with 227 points and was followed by his compatriot Svensson, who leaped into fourth place with 230 points.

The World Bowling Tour is sanctioned by World Bowling, the governing body for the sport of bowling. The tour is the premier international bowling series that is hosted in numerous, unique cities around the globe.

The World Bowling Tour 2017 consists of five stops in Germany, Sweden, Thailand and USA (2).

Men and women compete for points to earn places on the World Bowling Tour rankings. The points system is based on a continuous two-year cycle, where points include every event from the previous two year format. “Majors” award double points.

The top three men and top three women in the annual points list compete in the season-ending WBT Men’s and Women’s Final. The 2017 finals will be held during GEICO PBA World Series of Bowling IX on Nov. 19 in Reno, Nevada. The PBA World Championship in Reno remains on the schedule prior to the finals.

World Bowling provides governance to international bowling and is made up of 134 bowling international federations. For more information on the World Bowling Tour, click here.
