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."
