Swede Pontus Andersson clinched the MOTIV AIK International Tournament 2025 title at Stockholm's Bowl-o-Rama, defeating No. 1 seed, 18-year-old Leo Norgren, in the championship match 237–207.
Norgren had a chance to secure victory with two strikes in the final tenth frame, but an unfortunate 7–10 split ended his bid for the title.
In the first stepladder match, Pontus Andersson overcame Finland's Tomas Käyhkö with a convincing 254–207 victory.
Interestingly, Andersson earned his spot in the three-person stepladder finals by just a one-pin margin, edging out Sweden's Karl Wahlgren after a combined total of 10 games in Final Step 2 and Final Step 3 (Andersson's 3480 to Wahlgren's 3479).
