Jason Belmonte has been one of the players whom every one has waited to see in Tali and Brunswick Ballmaster Open this year. He showed that he is worth for that, by playing the second best score, 1402.

Jason Belmonte played in Ballmaster Open last time two years ago. After that his life has changed a lot. He has married with Kimberly and moved to France.
- We moved to Europe last May. France was more or les by coincidence, because my wife just took the map of Europe, closed her eyes and put her finger some where. And it was France, Jason laughed.

- Because of many reasons it’s a good place to live and we are satisfied. To me it’s nice, because from there it’s easy to travel in tournaments in Europe.

This morning was not so easy to Jason. He was planed to fly together with Swedish players from Gothenburg to Helsinki. Because of snow storm the flight was cancelled and they had to fly later via Stockholm. That seemed not to disturb Jason and he felt really happy after the squad.
- It went very well. In the first game I was on wrong line, but after that every thing was pretty easy. But Tali is some how difficult, because there are so many differences between the lanes. So you must be really awake and concentrated all the time, Belmonte described.

Just like many bowlers, Belmonte likes Tali.
- This is wonderful bowling centre. Probably the best I have ever been in. Here is lot of space to spectators, players, dressing rooms, showers, every thing, Jason makes a list.
- Also for me this is nice place because Osku (Palermaa) has crowned up here and people are not wondering my bowling style so much as in many other places, Jason ended.
