PNB Masters rise to the occasion
The Mercury
|June 26, 2025
AS EVERY seasoned bowler knows, true mastery on the green is far more than simply delivering a bowl accurately. It's a delicate dance of technical precision, strategic insight, adaptability and unwavering consistency. This past weekend, the PNB Masters showcased these qualities in full force.
At the close of play on Saturday, the log standings were a tease for what Sunday had in store.
The margins were razor-thin and anticipation ran high.
In the Men's Open, Section 1 leader Jarred Bauristhene had edged two points ahead of Wayne Roberts, with the draw having them facing each in the final sectional game. Section 2 mirrored the drama: Marc Rodgers led Ruaan Victor by one point, and the two were drawn against each other in a winner-takes-all clash.
The Men's Veterans offered their own nail-biters. Section 1 front-runner John Connellan and Louis Tolmay were separated by a single point, while in Section 2, Roger Boulle led Rodney Ward only on aggregate.
Sunday morning was set to test composure and class.
