KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 9 (Bernama) -- National female bowler Natasha Mohamed Roslan

ended Malaysia's 12-year drought after winning the gold medal in the individual event at

the World Championships in Salmiya, Kuwait, tonight.

Even sweeter, the 27-year-old player brushed aside the challenge of compatriot Sin Li

Jane through a 2-1 result in the best-of-three games format at the Kuwait Bowling

Sporting Club.

Natasha got off to a great start in the first match after scoring 259 pinfalls compared to

Jane's 194.

Although Jane came back to win the second match 238-162, she could not match

Natasha's when she lost 165-185 in the deciding match and had to settle for

the silver medal.

The last time Malaysia won the gold medal in the event was through Jacqueline Sijore in

2011 in Hong Kong.

Meanwhile, South Korean representatives Hong Hae Ni and Son Hye Rin each shared the

bronze, according to the website www.abf-online.org
