O'Keefe experienced some close calls on the way to the World Cup title, which included qualifying seventh for the eight-player round-robin match-play portion of the event and fourth for the four-player semifinal round, thanks to closing games of 227 and 247. The reigning Professional Women's Bowling Asso- ciation Player of the Year earned her meeting with Sin, a fellow PWBA champion, by defeating top-seeded Na- dia Nuramalina of Indonesia, 247-202. Sin topped 2018 PWBA Tour Championship winner Maria Jose Rodriguez of Colombia, 207-166. Troup's path to the title tilt featured few obstacles. He was able to use the same two balls for all 40 games lead- ing up to the semifinals, he rolled a perfect game during qualifying - the 75th in tournament history - and he topped the leaderboard from start to finish. In his two championship-round matches Saturday after- noon, Troup found the need to use a ball he hadn't thrown all week, which worked out well in a 264-216 semifinal win over nine-time World Cup participant Andres Gomez of Colombia, but he never was able to get anything going in the final against Cooley. Troup's final game included a 7-10 split, two 9 pins - Women's Top 4 Finishers, Bowling World Cup, 2018 (L-R) 2nd Place Li Jane Sin, Malaysia, 1st Place Shannon O'Keefe, one of which he missed - and a 4-9 split.

The Australian entered the final stage as the No. 2 seed, finishing the 40 games 366 pins behind Troup. "My heart hurts for Kyle," O'Keefe said. "He was so dominant all week - a cool customer and so focused. He also was an awesome teammate for me, especially since I was struggling. He was there picking me up every night and talking through surface adjustments and lane play. He kept checking in on me and was such a stable support for me. This one is going to sting for a bit, but, hopefully, he can look at all the good this week and realize one game won't define him." O'Keefe became the ninth woman from the United States to win the World Cup, and she was the first to do so since her Team USA teammates - Shannon Pluhowsky, Lynda Barnes and Diandra Asbaty - won three consecutive times from 2004-2006.
