Filipina bowler Clutario sizzles in World Cup opener

Source | InterAKTV | Veteran Filipina campaigner Liza Clutario served strong notice of her title aspirations as she opened with a strong performance on the first day of the Bowling World Cup at the Northcliff Bowling Centre in Johannesburg, South Africa on Thursday.

Clutario, who struggled in a disappointing stint in the Southeast Asian Games bowling event in Jakarta, rediscovered her old, deadly form when she registered 1124 pin falls in the first of the four five-game matches of the qualifying round.

Clutario averaged 224.80 pin falls, capped by a high of 256 in one of the first five games, to finish the day in third place.

She currently trails only leader Mercedes Perez de la Losa of Argentina and defending champion Aumi Guerra of the Dominican Republic. De la Losa posted 1157, followed by Aumi with 1145.

The day’s highest output in a single game was established by Sandra Anderson of Sweden, who is currently running in eighth spot after carding 1075.

Only the top 24 players at the end of the qualifying round will advance to the quarterfinal round. They will be reduced to the last eight going to the semis.
