Kuwait: Hong Kong's wonder kid, Michael Mak won all his eight Round-robin matches en-route to leading the Boy's first block Masters finals of the 15th Asian Youth Tenpin Bowling Championship at Cozmo Bowl on Monday afternoon.

Two gold medalist, Michael Mak got off the blocks moderately to beat team-mate, Eric Tseng 237-183 to earn the 10 points awarded for a win but found himself in mid-table of the 16-men field after Singapore's Benjamin Lim fired a highest opening match of 258.

Lim's lead was reduced to just 1 pin as Korea's Hong Hae Sol made his bid with back-to-back 247s. Mak triumphed in his second and third matches to take over the running followed by another Korean, Park Jong Woo closely behind.

The Hong Kong kid then quickened his pace with a scintilating series of matches of 276, 277, 258, 278 and 276 to romp home a comfortable and convincing lead with 2178. Singles gold medalist, Shin Seung

Hong finished third behind his team-mate with 1991 a further 51 pins away while Team gold medalist, Aris Ardila of Malaysia, who had a poor first half recovered with two high games to snatch fourth spot with 1945.

"Maybe I was too relaxed in my first two matches but I was lucky to have won them," said the 15-year-old Michael Mak, who looked set to win his third gold medal after his astonishing performance today.

"I was a bit disappointed yesterday for not winning the Team gold medal when we had the chance but winning the All Events gold more or less made up for it. I'm determine not to let this one (Masters) go away.

Eric Tseng, who was trailing Mak in second at the halfway mark, dropped off his pace and slipped down to fifth position with 1907 followed by Park Jong Woo completing the top 6 with 1855.
