ONG WINS TOP SBF AWARD

A breakthrough year in 2023 culminated in national bowler Darren Ong claiming the men's singles title at the International Bowling Federation world championships in Kuwait last October, the first for a Singaporean since Remy Ong won the event in 2006.

Ong's historic win and his achievements in 2023 earned him the Bowler of the Year accolade at the Singapore Bowling Federation's (SBF) annual awards night on April 8.

While he was unable to attend the ceremony at Raffles Town Club as he is competing at the Professional Bowlers Association (PBA) World Series of Bowling XV in Detroit, Michigan, the 28-year-old said winning the award felt "very special".

"The team are full of world-class bowlers, so to be able to stand out last year and win the award this year does make it very special to me," said Ong, who is only the second man after Jaris Goh (2018) to receive the award in the last decade.
