The Malaysian Flag - Jalur Gemilang has been waving high throughout Thursday's AM Clash in conjunction with Malaysia's 66th Independence Day celebration in Sunway Megalanes!
A total of 47 bowlers participated in the Thursday AM Clash, in which bowlers will bowl a total of 6 games and the top 3 will be seeded for the stepladder finals. Alex Tee successfully secured his top seed spot by putting up a commanding 1369 series (228 average) over 6 games. Sitting in second place is Kenny dominating the right side with his bread and butter line throwing up the boards, maintaining a strong 1307 series (217 average). It was a close fight between the 3rd and 4th seed, as Kelvin slowed down in the final game with a 193 game while Everton attempted a last minute sprint with a 225 game to overtake the 3rd seed. However, Everton was shy of 14 pins and Kelvin maintained his spot at the number 3 seed.
Number 2 seed Kenny (Furthest Left), Number 1 seed Alex Tee (Middle), Number 3 seed Kelvin (Furthest Right)
The stepladder commenced with the number 3 seed, Kelvin challenging the number 2 seed, Kenny. Kenny started strong and secured a commanding lead in the first 8 frames by stringing strikes and staying clean, while Kelvin had a rough start and struggled to pick up the pace, having only a double in the 8th and 9th frame. The first stepladder match ended with Kenny claiming the victory with 216-173 pins.
The final stepladder match was nerve-wrecking as both bowlers were neck-to-neck with each other. Kenny had a disasterous start with 4 opens in 5 frames, while Alex struggled to strike and could only start with the front 3 spares, opening the 4th, and striking the 5th. Alex had a 42 pin lead in the 5th before opening the door for Kenny to make a comeback in the 6th after he missed a single pin. Kenny strung a double but failed to convert a spare in the 8th frame. The match was over when Alex secured a mark in the 10th frame, claiming the victory with a score of 188-169. Congratulations to Alex Tee for being crowned the Champion in this week's Thursday AM Clash!
