Bowler Li Jane wins Greater Nashville Classic

KUALA LUMPUR: National bowling queen Sin Li Jane is on a roll.

After waiting seven years to capture her second Professional Women's Bowling Association (PWBA) Tour title two weeks ago, the 32-year-old won another yesterday when she bagged the PWBA Greater Nashville Classic in Tennessee.

Li Jane brushed aside Singapore's Cherie Tan, a four-time Tour winner, 257-208, in the one-game final at Smyrna Bowling Centre.

Seeded third in the stepladder finals, Li Jane had earlier downed American Lauren Russo 221-215 before chalking up a 235-224 win over England's Verity Crawley en route to the title decider against the top-seeded Cherie.

Li Jane made the top-five cut for the finals after finishing third with a grand total of 5,792 pinfall after the completion of 24 games.

Cherie was first with 6,025, followed by Crawley, who amassed 5,830 pinfall.

Shannon Pluhowsky (5,777) and Russo (5,718) came in fourth and fifth respectively.

On May 12, Li Jane won the Bowlers Journal Rockford Open in Illinois, and her latest victory means she now boasts three PWBA Tour titles under her belt.
