November 18, 2005 | 12:00am
LJUBLJANA, Slovenia The Philippines Tyrone Ongpauco continued his steady climb in mens qualifying of the 2005 QubicaAMF Bowling World Cup tournament Wednesday, firing a six-game series of 1321 pinfalls to rank fourth after 18 games at the Gladiator Bowling Center here.
Ongpauco shot a high game of 269 in the third six-game block to raise his total to 3958.
Compatriot Ellen Ramos was not as lucky, however. She lost her touch after a big 1242 in the second six-game block, managed only 1112 Wednesday and dropped back to 20th place with an 18-game output of 2495.
Both Puyat Sports/Lufthansa-backed Filipino bowlers, though, still have good chances of making the qualifying round cut to 24 in each division after six more games Thursday.
Canadas Michael Schmidt maintained his frontrunning position with an 18-game total of 4308 for a sizzling average of 239.33 pins.
Last years runner-up, Norways Petter Hansen, kept second spot on 4229, followed by Belgiums Gery Verbruggen (4121), Ongpauco, Argentinas Lucas Legnani (3951), Swedens Anders Ohman (3944) and Venezuelas Arturo Hernandez (3933).
Lynda Barnes of the United States wrested the womens lead from Malaysias Wendy Chai with an 18-game score of 4284 pinfalls.
Chai dropped to second with 4049, followed by Swedens Helen Johnson (4021), Englands Fiona Banks (3969), Bahrains Nadia Agesi (3862) and Norways Ann Louise Haugen (3829).
