Bowling News USA - May 27, 2009 Osku Palermaa Earns Exempt Berth for PBA's World Series of Bowling...

After a fourth-place finish in the Brunswick Aalborg International in Aalborg, Denmark, on Sunday, Storm International star Osku Palermaa has been awarded the first of three international exempt berths to compete in the Professional Bowlers Association’s World Series of Bowling Aug. 2 through Sept. 7 in suburban Detroit.

Palermaa, who introduced the two-handed bowling technique to American bowling fans when he finished fifth in the 2004 U.S. Open, earned the World Series of Bowling exemption as the European Bowling Tour points leader, securing his lead with his finish in the Aalborg International, the seventh event on the EBT’s 2009 schedule. He will join Australia’s Jason Belmonte as the second two-handed player in the World Series field. Belmonte earned his spot in the World Series and on the 2009-10 Lumber Liquidators PBA Tour by winning the PBA’s Bowling Foundation Long Island Classic title in March.

Two additional international players will be selected to compete in the World Series of Bowling based upon applications submitted to the PBA. Application forms, which are due by June 1, are posted on the PBA World Series of Bowling web site.
