At 65, Paeng still burns bowling lane
MANILA, Philippines — Bowling Hall of Famer Paeng Nepomuceno’s legend continues.
The 65-year-old four-time World Cup champion blew away the competition in reigning supreme in the Asian Seniors Championships held recently in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Nepomuceno, also a six-time world champion, scored an impressive 1264 as he waylaid Japanese Akira Nakada (1238) and Korean Jin Headong (1223) in topping the men’s singles 65+ section of the tilt.
Nepomuceno’s 248 in the fifth game and a closing 231 separated him from the 57-man field.
It was another addition to a long list of Nepomuceno’s feats including four World Cup crowns in 1976, 1980, 1992 and 1996, an accomplishment remaining unmatched today.
The feat was legendary that the Guinness Book of Records recognized it in its books.
Nepomuceno isn’t about to let age slow him down.
