In a King of the Lanes finale that featured two veteran keglers, six seed Ricky Duenas outscored second seed Manny Tagle 203-174. Duenas found his hot streak during the course of the elimination rounds as he battered his opponents enroute to claiming his first title of 2021. Duenas crushed his first and second round foes by one hundred pins, Josiah Lanuza 259-149, and Greg Borja 259-159, then ousted top seed Jay Leon Guerrero in the semi-final 223-205 to reach the finale and eventually claim the title. Manny Tagle rolled by third seed Ray San Nicolas 163-134 in the second semi-final match to set up the monthly title match.
