Champion Caminsky: I'll treasure this for ever
GUY Caminsky believes winning the 2008 PartyCasino.com World Tenpin Masters fulfilled a childhood dream.
Caminsky became the ninth different winner of the tournament, which was held in front of a packed crowd at the Barnsley Metrodome.
In a thrilling final, South African Caminsky came from behind to defeat 2006 champion Chris Barnes by 526-517.
"As a kid you dream about that moment when you strike out and win a tournament," said Caminsky. "It is the dream of everyone and when I struck it I was over the moon.
"This means the absolute world to me to get this title. It is going to be huge for the sport back home and hopefully more guys from there will come and travel overseas. For me I will treasure this moment for the rest of my life.
"Not until the final shot in the second game did I think I could win the game.
"He (Barnes) left a wobbling fourth pin in one of the frames and if that had fallen he would have been the champion.
"He did not give this victory to me I had to go out there and earn it. He is a true champion and unfortunately one of us has to lose.
"Before I went into the final I just thought that I hope it is a good one because I did not want to go down as the worst finalist ever." ...click here for more
