Tan gets second gold at Asian C'ships after teaming up with Lim and New for first time
Three days after bowler Daphne Tan claimed the women's singles gold at the Asian Tenpin Championships to end her nine-year individual title drought, she was on a roll again as she added the women's trios title on Sept 21.
Competing at the Blu-O Rhythm and Bowl in Bangkok, Thailand, the 34-year-old Singaporean teamed up with compatriots Bernice Lim and New Hui Fen to win the trios event.
They posted a total of 3,822 pinfalls, 38 more than runners-up Malaysia's Natasha Roslan, Gillian Lim and Sin Li Jane (3,784).
South Korea's Jung Da-wun, Ka Yun-mi and Baek Seung-ja claimed the bronze with 3,765 pinfalls.
Tan said: "It's such a thrill to work hard towards something and then for all the hard work to come together and be acknowledged across such a competitive field."
