A near miss for Singaporean
Looking good to make the finals and needing only 193 or better, Lim came to a pair of lanes that he simply just could not get a double strike and ended his effort with a clean game of 190 to miss the cut by just 3 pins on a score of 1293.
Newly-crowned QubicaAMF World Cup champion, Caroline Lagrange of Canada topped the squad with 1328 to make the cut in 18th position overall. Robert Anderssen of Sweden had two massive games to also advance with 1300 in 35th position.
Singapore's Remy Ong was a bit unlucky when he slipped down to seventh position overall after Martin Larsen of Sweden shot a record-breaking 1540 in Squad 14 to take over the top spot. Denmark's Jimmy Mortensen and Britt Brondsted also made into the top six after shooting 1390 and 1384 respectively.
Ong now has to contest the Stage 2 finals as he head the next 6 highest qualifiers (positions 7 to 12). Newly-crowned national champion, Lee Yu Wen squeezed in at 37th position with 1298 while Lionel Lim and Jason Yeong-Nathan failed to make the finals.
