Barnes halts Shalin’s run in semi-finals
PETALING JAYA: Malaysia’s Shalin Zulkifli secured her best-ever finish since joining the PBA women’s series last year when she reached the semi-finals of the season-opening Viper Championships at the Thunderlanes in Michigan on Sunday.
Shalin had defeated top American pro Carolyn Dorin-Ballard of Keller of Texas 4-0 (255-191, 239-194, 276-253, 243-216) in the best-of-seven games first match-play in the morning.
However, her run ended when she was beaten 0-4 (184-225, 239-248, 199-212, 170-246) by another Texan, Lynda Barnes, in the semi-finals.
Shalin, who was part of the Malaysian women’s team who returned empty-handed from the recent World Championships in Las Vegas, made the top eight quarter-finals on Saturday in a field of 20 top professional bowlers.
