Reigning PBA Player of the Year Sean Rash of Montgomery, Ill., defeated Mika Koivuniemi 234-201 on Sunday to win the Kuwait Open.
The victory was Rash’s sixth PBA Tour title and his first in PBA International Tour competition. It also denied Koivuniemi’s bid to make Kuwait the 21st country Koivuniemi has won in, PBA reported. A week earlier, Koivuniemi won the Kingdom of Bahrain International Open — a non-PBA International Tour event.
