French rules in Squad 3

28th August, Bangkok: Francois Sacco of France led a bevy of Europeans at the top of Squad 3 singles event of the World Men's Championship on Thursday evening coming home with 1310 to take up third in the overall table.

Second place went to Sweden's Robert Andersson on 1269 with Jesper Agerbo of Denmark third with 1251. Only Chinese Taipei's Yang Nien-Hua stopped the flood of Europeans as fifth and sixth position also went to that zone.

Francois Sacco moved to the front of the pack after Darren Cundy of England had set the pace with 245. The French's consistent 230, 231, 233 and 235 was an outstanding achievement given such difficult conditions.

"I bowled a poor game of 178 on a pair of very difficult lanes, so I knew I needed 220 or more in the final game to take over the lead," said the 38-year-old Francois Sacco, who won a bronze medal in the team event at the World Championships in Reno in 1995.

"This long oil pattern is very difficult and if I had finished first or second after three squads, the chance of making the top four would be very good."

The Americans Bill Hoffman and Rhino Page were well off the pace in 12th and 14th on this squad and 36th and 40th in the overall table. The quartet now holding the top four places are Kai Gunther (1317), Walter Ray Williams Jr. (1316), Sacco (1310) and Shu Liang-Chen (1283) from squad 2.
