American McEwan wins Emir’s Cup bowling title
The USA’s Danielle McEwan fired games of 258 and 266 scratch and added eight pins women’s handicap each game to beat Bahrain’s Yousif Falah 540-416 in the final of the 2016 Emir’s Cup at the Qatar Bowling Center.
McEwan, who improved on a third-place finish last year, used a six-bagger from frame 5 to take a 42-pin lead after the first game.
After she sandwiched a strike between two spares to open game two, the winner of the 2015 Women's World Bowling Tour finals reeled off eight consecutive strikes to put the match away well before the final frame.
In a close semifinal game, third-seeded McEwan doubled in the 10th frame of the second game to eliminate No. 2 seed, Daphne Tan of Singapore, 435-422.
Falah, who took the last spot for the play-offs in the third eight-game round, stunned top-seeded Marshall Kent, who was looking for his second PBA title, 498-361.
McEwan received $20,000 for winning her first World Bowling Tour title while Falah pocketed $12,000. Kent and Tan each received $6,000.
