Jarno Lahti has won the Brunswick Ballmaster Open 2025. Lahti knocked out last year’s winner Jesse Kallio in the final. Final numbers were 237-190.
The final was very even between Lahti and Kallio. Lahti was a few points ahead throughout the series. When Kallio made a hole in the ninth frame, Lahti really got himself a chance to win the match. He finished the series with five shots and took the biggest win of his career, 237-190. Jarno Lahti pocketed 12000 € for the win. Kallio earned 7000 € for the second place.
Jarno was overwhelmed after his victory.
-I can’t really describe the feeling. It’s a bit surreal but it sure feels great to win the Ballmaster Open and get the pennant with my name on the wall.
Lahti played a convincing game throughout the weekend and he was always in the lead.
-My ball reaction was really good. I played practically with the same ball and pretty much with the same idea all the time and kept a straight line. In the final I also tried to concentrate on getting the ball as straight as possible so my strike percentage was good,” he analyzed.
The recent winner wants to give credit for the win to his family.
-“My parents have always been very supportive and my father follows all my games closely. A big thanks goes to them, Jarno concluded.
In the semi-finals, Kallio beat Italy’s Antonino Fiorentino 258-235 and Lahti beat Joonas Jehkinen 237-230. Fiorentino and Jenkinen both earned 4400 €.
Koivuniemi won 300 extra
After the final the 300 extra replay was bowled. Mika Koivuniemi won 2000 € for bowling the first 300 point series in this year’s tournament. The 3000 € pot was replayed with all those who had bowled 300 in the tournament and had paid for 300 extra. There were more players than ever before, with a total of 16.
Players were knocked out one by one. Koivuniemi and Antonino Fiorentino advanced to the sixth round. The Italian threw first and left one pin up. Koivuniemi, in turn, made the strike and also collected the 3000 € prize, so he took the entire 5000 € prize pot of 300 extra for himself.
