CHAMPIONSHIP

Nigel Richards (NZL) beats fourth seed Shanker Menon (IND) 572-341, is now 12-0 +2190, breaking 2,000 points of spread, extending his ABSP record to 32 consecutive tournament wins. This knocks Shanker down to two games behind Nigel, behind Weibin Toh (SGP), whose 437-336 win over Wojciech Usakiewicz (POL) keeps him within a game (but more than a thousand spread points behind) the leader.

RECREATIONAL

Surprisingly, Peggy Fehily's (DEU) 390-371 win over Suzanne Dundas (NLD) this round is the first time a game has been won by fewer than 20 points. It's enough for Peggy to catch up to Suzanne on wins though, and Pam Morris's (AUT) 470-325 victory over Vicki Bradley (AUT) vaults her into first place. At 9-3 wins now are Pam +1169, Suzanne +1141, Peggy +451 and Paul Dundas (NLD) +396.
