Rami Mukkula claimed his first-ever European Bowling Tour (EBT) title at the International Hammer Challenge, defeating Jouni Helminen 249-213 in the final.
Both bowlers began cautiously, but a crucial 2-10 split from Helminen in the third frame gave Mukkula the advantage. As Helminen struggled to find rhythm, Mukkula seized the opportunity, sealing his victory with a solid finish.
In the semi-finals, Rami Mukkula beat Joonas Jähi 279-244, while Jouni Helminen defeated Sweden's Emil Svensson 247-220 to reach the final.
