Friday afternoon session
THERE was a massive shock on the opening day of the 11th annual PartyCasino.com World Tenpin Masters.
The event at the Barnsley Metrodome features a total of 16 of the finest bowlers from around the world, all vying for the top prize of $30,000.
Defending champion Jason Belmonte has been knocked out of the competition as he suffered a surprising 406-469 defeat against English qualifier James Tidd.
"This is the highest point of my career, it can't get any higher than this," said a delighted Tidd.
"In my eyes this was the best draw I could've had as I had nothing to lose but I knew, on my day, I could give as good as anyone.
"I'm not big headed and I was nervous but when I got down the lane I was quite confident that I could take him out. He looked frustrated in the warm-up and luckily I held my nerve. If I was honest, I didn't think I would get into the second round."
