Del Rosario totalled 1679 during the eight-game series, falling one spot behind Jermaine Seah from Singapore, who had 1700. They were followed by Malaysian Gilliam Lim and young Filipina Bea Hernandez, who totalled 1616 each. Iliya Syamim and Charlene Lim from Singapore will join them as they face Lara Posadas-Wong, Dyan Coronacion, and 2017 World Cup champion Krizziah Tabora in the next phase of the competition where the top three will advance.<\/span><\/p>\n

Del Rosario also anticipates the rest of the competition, saying, \u201cThey have (all) been playing well. In the finals, it\u2019s really anybody\u2019s ballgame. The stakes and pressure are higher in the finals, the adjustments harder. You have to show up with your best on that particular day.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

For the men\u2019s division, Singaporean Sam Cooley fights to defend his title as he\u2019s joined by Basil Ng for the top spot with 1843 points each. Filipino Kenneth Chua and Jaris Goh of Singapore as well have also advanced to the finals.<\/span><\/p>\n
