KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 3 (Bernama) -- There was more good news for the Malaysian tenpin bowling squad when Adrian Ang-Tun Ameerul Hakim Tun Hasnul Azam bagged the men’s doubles gold medal at the World Championships 2018 in Hong Kong on Sunday night. According to the championship website www.2018wmc.worldbowling.org, the Malaysians defeated American opponents EJ Tackett-Andrew Anderson 433-370 in the final. The Malaysians had earlier downed Canadians Dan MacLelland-Francois Lavoie 458-412 in the semi-finals.
