Congratulations James Bowden - World champion!!
World Masters championships Perth, Australia
In the Men’s 45+ draw, England’s James Bowden [1] lifted his first World Masters title after beating Australia’s Jeff Osborne [5/8] in four games.
Despite falling behind after Osborne claimed the opening game 4-11, Bowden showed his resilience to claw his way back in the second, winning 11-7, before continuing his comeback to win the third 11-6 and the fourth 13-11.
Bowden said: “To become a world champion is amazing, you can’t quite put it into word just how much this means.
“From coming so close two years ago in the final, where I was beaten comfortably, to this year’s event, which I saw as unfinished business. I’m over the moon.
“I travelled along way to get the title I really wanted, so to get it, with my son watching, is amazing.”
