RALPH Martin topped the Datba Tenpin Weekly Qualifying Tournament anew by hitting a total of 801 pinfalls at the NCCC Mall B3 Lanes Saturday evening.
Martin bested back-to-back weekly champion lawyer Marc Fernandez, Kadayawan masters champion Alan Edulan, Ian Ancheta and Danny Usman who placed second, third, fourth and fifth, respectively.
Fernandez rolled 798 pins while Edulan garnered 791. Ancheta also got 789 and Usman amassed 788 in the tournament organized by the Davao Tenpin Bowlers Association (Datba).
