This proved true for Philippine team coach Purvis Granger when he overcame serious challenges from his players Sunday to crown himself men’s champion in the 2002 Aviva Asian Bowling Tour Grand Slam Finals at the Cathay Bowl Safra Resort here.


First on his casualty list was Filipino student Chester King, whom Granger trounced in a tense semifinal duel, 202-187, to arrange a final showdown with another protégé, Guam’s Duane Camacho.

                    [Summary] => Singapore — Three in, two out.


This was the fate of the Philippine campaign as three of the five RP bets barged into the quarterfinal round of the 2002 Aviva Asian Bowling Tour Grand Slam Finals at the Cathay Bowl Safra Resort here.


The coach-player duo of Purvis Granger and Chester King finished second and third places in the men’s division with a total pinfall of 3941 and 3935, respectively, while Liza del Rosario sustained her superb game by finishing fifth in the women’s side with an aggregate score of 3299.

Nepomuceno, Purvis Granger, Chester King, Irene Garcia-Benitez and Liza del Rosario were just five of the 34 bowlers—18 men’s and 16 women’s–who made it to the last stop of Asia’s most prestigious bowling tournament.
