The final was very even and exciting and came down to the 10th frame, Hogdin needed a strike to seal his victory but only got 7 which opened the door for Syahmi, he however left a 10 pin which meant that Hogdin needed a spare and 9 to seal the victory. He picked up the spare and followed it up with a strike meaning he was the winner with the score of 236 to Syahmi‘s 233. Congratulations Tobias on your first title!
