Del Rosario, Clutario foiled in doubles bid
LAS VEGAS, Nevada – The spirited efforts by the veteran duo of Liza del Rosario and Liza Clutario to place the Philippines in the medal board fell short in the face of superior opposition in the doubles of the World Women’s Tenpin Bowling Championships here Wednesday.
Running third overall after topping the second squad, the RP tandem was overtaken following torrid performances of teams from South Korea, Denmark and Australia in the third squad, eventually relegating them to sixth place and out of the running once more for the second straight day at the Cashman Center.
Del Rosario carded 1,309 while Clutario 1,244 as they combined for 2,549 pinfalls in the event where South Korea blasted its way to a 1-2 finish at the end of the eliminations.
The pair of Hong Sun-Yeon Son Yun-hee, seeing action in the first squad, scored 2,616 for first, three pins up on their compatriots Gang Hye Yun and Hwang Sung Ok, who competed in the last squad.
