FRANCOIS LAVOIE WINS SAN MARINO OPEN FOR BACK-TO-BACK EBT TITLES
Lavoie, PBA’s 2016 Rookie of the Year and the 2016 U.S. Open champion, became the first Canadian to win a title on the European Bowling Tour with his victory in the V Brunswick Madrid Challenge last Sunday.
Lavoie is just the fourth player in the 18-year history of the European Bowling Tour and the first since 10 years who has won back-to-back EBT tournaments.
Swedish standout Anders Öhman was the first in 2001 and was followed by legendary Lasse Lintilä of Finland (2002-03) and all-time EBT title leader Paul Moor of England, who accomplished the feat twice in 2004 and 2007.
