New Zealand lawn bowler Jo Edwards has landed her third World Cup success after claiming the final of the women's singles at Warilla, New South Wales, yesterday.
Edwards, the world No 1 and reigning World Cup champion, downed world No 3 Alison Merrien 9-4 7-7 to avenge a fourth round defeat by the Guernsey bowler.
The triumph gave Edwards, who bowls out of the Burnside club in Christchurch, her third successive World Cup title.
"We both played really well in the first set, and then I was down 5-0 in the second," Edwards said.
"But I just showed a bit of patience and strung a couple of ends together. I'm absolutely rapt with the result, it's awesome.
"The first time was really cool, the second time it was great to back it up, but a third time is unbelievable."
