| Hsieh Ping Yen bags Cathay Bowl Junior Classic title | |
9th December, Singapore: Hsieh Ping-Yen won his first-ever title on Saturday afternoon when he bagged this year's Cathay Bowl Junior Classic. |
|
The 19-year-old Hsieh, went through a tense competition with 1st runner-up Michael Frazi of Australia on his way to his debut-tournament win after trying for two-years. Both scores were close until the 9th-frame when Hsieh struck a turkey while Frazi only spared home a 216-186 step-ladder match. Hsieh, who bowls full-time because of his study-program at the Taiwan Sports Academy, also has a father-coach who operates a centre in downtown Taipei and will surely be a name to remember in the year's to come. |
