Previous Champions Last Year's Winners Ireland's Marjorie McEntee and Mexican Alfonso Rodriguez were the champions of their respective divisions in the Bowling World Cup staged in Seoul, Republic of Korea last year. Marjorie emulated Britain's Pauline Smith by winning her title the hard way. She went into the step-ladder finals in 5th position and worked her way through Pearly Chong (Malaysia), Yuen-Yue Huang (Chinese Taipei), Annete Hagre (Sweden) and Judy Howlett (Gt. Britain) before emerging triumphant. Alfonso became Mexico's second tit/e-holder in the tournament's 21-year history by finishing in the coveted No1 spot when it mattered - the stage before the step-ladder finals. When Dutchman Eric Kok challenged him for the title, Rodriguez did just enough to run out the winner by 206 to 193.
