Top 5 Open Division Ranked Players Attending As of 15th August 2019

1. Jayden Panella (VIC) – 168 points (4th)
2. Robert Kendall (VIC) – 97 points (7th)
3. Chris Castle (VIC) – 89 points (8th)
4. Jayden Leming (QLD) – 89 points (9th)
5. Scott Robertson (NSW) – 87 points (10th)

With the late withdrawal of Queenslander Jarrod Langford, the field is wide open with many having a chance to close the gap on the open rankings point table.

Jayden Panella – After achieving a silver medal in the doubles event at the 2018 World Youth Championships, Panella has bowled confidently in 2019 and currently sits 4^th on the open rankings point table. A third place in the previous open ranked event at the SA Cup will provide the Wyncity Point Cook based bowler more confidence in potentially closing the gap between himself and Langford.

Minhee Kim – After featuring in the 2018 Rollin’ Thunder event, the Korean born and Logan Tenpin based Minhee Kim will be a key player come Sunday. In her two ranked event appearances this year, Kim has placed in the top 3 of the field (Kegel QLD Open & QLD Ladies Classic)  and  was the eventual winner of the high profile Lexus of Townsville Suncity Open.

Established 2017. 2019 is the third running of the Gold Coast Cup.
