4th July, Doha: Overnight first series leader, Annop Arromsaranon of Thailand topped the squad to win Squad C High-Series award of the H.H. Emir Cup 2022 and move into second in the overall standings.

Arromsaranon, the second Asian to win a PBA-WBT title at the 2018 Busan Cup, had a moderate start in the seventh game of his second 6-games series with 206. Despite improving with 220 in the eighth game, he lost the lead to compatriot and 31st SEA Games Singles silver medallist, Yannaphon Larpapharat.

When Lapapharat suffered two low games of 161 and 167, Arromsaranon regained the lead with 193 and 226. The leader then ended his second series with 226 and 212 for a 12-game total of 2628 which moved him into second overall, 51 pins behind leader and Squad A winner, Yousef Al-Jabir of Qatar with 2679.

Lapapharat finished second, 101 pins behind the leader on 2527 and making the top 6 bracket in sixth position. Two-time first runner-up of the H.H. Emir Cup, Naif Oqab of UAE finished strongly to snatch third spot in this squad with 2512.

Squad B high-series award winner, Bader Al Sada of Qatar took fourth position overall with 2601 after a strong 1314 in his second series earlier today.

Firas Adel Nammour of Syria occupied fifth position with 2548. The top 6 will earn a bye for Step 2 finals if they remained in the top 6 after the two more squads have completed their two 6-games series in the next two days of qualifying.

Oqab headed the second bracket in seventh position with 2512 followed by Manuwong in eighth. Mohammed Al-Saud of Saudi Arabia occupied the last spot in 38th position with 2118. Salem Khalid Al Hajri, Hamad Al-Zoqari, Mesaed M Al Muraikhi and Hassan Mubarak Al Muraikhi took up the four spots reserved for Qatari qualifiers, 39 to 42.

Sultan Abdulla Al Qatan is the only youth qualifier occupying 43rd position with 1042 with still one spot remaining for a second reserved Qatari youth qualifier. Positions 44 to 48 will be made up by the top 4 desperado qualifiers.
