LAUREN Brian Sy finally punched his ticket to the Cebu Tenpin Bowling Association (CETBA) grand finals after winning the monthly tournament for December last Saturday at the SM City Cebu Bowling Center.
The 22-year old Sy knocked down 1,271 pins in the six-game finals to win his first ever CETBA “Bowler of the Month” title.
Sy informed that he has been bowling for years but has never won a monthly final save for some podium finishes.
Monthly winners face off next month in the “Bowler of the Year” championships.
Sy said that he was very proud of his achievement even if it was not a major one, since it proved that he is ready for the 8th CETBA National Open slated on November 23-27 at the same venue. He dedicated his win to his parents Lolito and Bonita Sy who introduced him to the sport when he was still a kid.
CETBA Vice President Docdoc Gothong placed second with 1,250 pinfalls and was named the bowler of the month for November. Beth Ngo placed third with 1,248 pinfalls while Lyn Oka finished fourth with 1,241 pinfalls. Celis Viloria rounded up the top five with 1,228 pinfalls.
Sixth to 10th placers were Ronan Barredo (1,227), Baby Bacon (1,226), Roland Bantillan (1,220), Noel Tanyu (1,217) and Omar Marsangca (1,1216), respectively.
