Singapore’s Cherie Tan finished runner-up in the Professional Women’s Bowling Association (PWBA) US Women’s Open on Tuesday (Aug 31).
The US Women’s Open is the second major championship on the 2021 PWBA Tour.
The 33-year-old narrowly lost in the final, which was held in California, to top-seed American, Josie Barnes, by a score of 198-194. For her efforts, Cherie will take home US$50,000 (S$67,300) in prize money.

She was voted World Bowling Athlete of the Year by the international bowling community and public in January 2020.
