Jason Belmonte Wins PBA-World
Bowling Tour “Lucky Larsen Masters”
in Sweden
Australian two-handed star wins third PBA Tour title of
2017 season
MALMO, Sweden (Aug. 27, 2017)
– Australia’s Ja-
son Belmonte defeated Cameron Weier of Tacoma,
Wash., 245-180, to win the PBA International-World
Bowling Tour’s Storm Lucky Larsen Masters at
Baltiska
Bowlinghallen
for his 15th career PBA Tour title.
Belmonte, 34, joined EJ Tackett of Huntington, Ind.,
as the only three-time PBA Tour title winners in 2017.
Earlier in the year, Belmonte won the Barbasol PBA
Players Championship and a record fourth USBC Mas-
ters title. His win in Sweden, a new event on the PBA
International-WBT schedule, was his second interna-
tional tour title. He also won the 2012 Australian Mas-
ters.
After qualifying first for the Malmo stepladder finals by
45 pins over Weier, Belmonte started the title match
with two spares followed by a string of six strikes to
build a lead Weier couldn’t overcome. Belmonte won
the equivalent of $19,832 along with his title.
Weier, a 26-year-old former Robert Morris-Illinois col-
legiate star, won his only PBA Tour title in the 2015
Qatar Open. He defeated Finland’s Jari Ratia, 226-194,
to advance to the title match.
The Malmo tournament – named for Swedish PBA
star Martin Larsen – was a World Bowling Tour points
event. The top three men and top three women in 2017
WBT points will bowl in the WBT Men’s and Women’s
Finals, presented by the PBA, during the GEICO PBA
World Series of Bowling IX, presented by Eldorado
Reno Properties, on Nov. 19 in Reno, Nev. Two addi-
tional qualifying events – the WBT Thailand in Septem-
ber, and the PBA World Championship in Reno – re-
main on the schedule prior to the finals.
