They call her the unofficial world No 1 player, and Jo Edwards demonstrated her class with a gold medal performance at the Kelvingrove bowling green today.
Edwards raced out to a 13-1 lead against defending Commonwealth Games champion Natalie Melmore of England, then withstood a fightback by her opponent to win the gold medal match 21-15.
When bowls bosses gave away the idea of trying to rank the game's best players, being unable to find a fair system, the Nelson bowler just happened to be at the top of the rankings.
She tends to play it down, but when she produces quality performances like today, a strong argument can be made that Edwards is indeed the game's best.
"It's a very, very proud moment," she said tonight.
