The 21-year-old Physical Education undergraduate from Uiduk University in Kyung Buk, had arrived the night before with a Korean contingent of 53 bowlers from high school, universities and national bowlers.
However, Woo’s first block for the singles with a total score of 678 from lines of 300, 175 and 203, was not enough to put him among the top three.
But he picked up the RM1,000 offered daily for a perfect game. He is the third bowler to have scored a perfect game in the championship since it started last Wednesday. National elite back-up bowler, Kang Bo Long was the first to fire the magical 300 last Wednesday, followed by national bower Esther Cheah on Tuesday.
Australia’s Keryn Delaney leads the singles standing with his score of 732, while Dion Alexander from Australia with a total of 728 is second and Michael Tsang from Hong Kong is third with his total score of 715.
Other Koreans who have made an impact include, Hong Hea Sol who leads in the Mixed Pool, Jeon Eun Hee in the Girls Overseas Pool, Kim Yeo Jin in the Girls Graded and Jeong Da Hea in the Girls singles.
Jeon Eun Hee, with her total score of 709, still fails to be top overall bowler, as Esther Tan and national elite bowler, Hee Kar Yen, are joint leaders in the Local Pool with their total 770.
Among the top Korean bowlers present here include recently crowned AMFQubica Bowling World Cup champion, Choi Yong Kyu, fellow national bowler, Chu Yong Yin, recently concluded East Asian Games champion woman bowler, Cheon Eun Hee, World Ranking second placed, Shin Pohyun and fellow national teammate, Chang Tong Chul.
With another day of qualifying today (Thursday) before finals on Friday, the scramble for total 44 places available for the Boys Masters and 36 for Girls is expected from both the local and foreign bowlers.
The overseas bowlers can qualify from the Overseas Pool where they are allocated 12 slots or from the Mixed Pool where there are 16 slots. The Local bowlers have 12 slots besides the Mixed pool slots. There will also be three places for the boys and two for girls under the Desperados category – those who have bowled five blocks and still have not qualified, are eligible to bowl in this category.
An exciting day is certainly on the cards today.
