The 3rd Annual Memorial Day Bowling Tournament delivered a thrilling day of competition as bowlers from across the island battled through high‑pressure rounds filled with suspense, momentum swings, and standout performances. Emerging at the top of the 39‑bowler field was Jeremiah Camacho, who claimed the 2026 Memorial Day Championship with a dominant run through the Open Division and a commanding finish in the tournament finale. Camacho opened his campaign with an impressive 933 four‑game qualifying set, posting scores of 213, 237, 213, and 270 to secure the top position in the division. He continued his momentum in the semi‑finals, unleashing a seven‑bagger to advance to the divisional final alongside Cisco Uncangco, who entered the round with a strong 257 game. Second seed Aaron Elliot and fourth‑place qualifier Noah Taimanglo rounded out the top four. Camacho remained unstoppable in the divisional final, rolling a 237 to defeat Uncangco and earn his place in the tournament’s championship match against the Senior and Classified Division winners.
In the Senior Division, Yvonne Acda delivered a poised and strategic performance on her path to the divisional title. After finishing second in the qualifier, Acda advanced from a competitive four‑person semi‑final that included John Raymundo, top seed Gina San Nicolas, and third seed Sheila Bangs. In a tightly contested divisional final, Acda used her 39‑pin handicap advantage to edge Raymundo and secure her spot in the tournament finale.
The Classified Division featured its own share of drama as Aha’ani Sablan led the qualifying rounds, but it was third seed Dominic Cruz who stole the spotlight in the semi‑finals with an explosive eight‑bagger en route to a 267 game. Cruz advanced alongside Tydus Baker, who edged out Sablan and Lyo Sawada to reach the divisional final. Baker then delivered a clutch performance, stringing together a timely four‑bagger and a turkey to claim the division title with a 230–192 victory and earn his place in the championship match.
The tournament finale showcased the island’s top performers, but it quickly became a one‑man show as Camacho continued his dominant form. Dropping pins with precision and confidence, he rolled a 236 to secure the Memorial Day Championship title. The battle for second place came down to a single pin, with Acda edging Baker to claim the runner‑up position. The final podium reflected the day’s exceptional performances: 1st Place – Jeremiah Camacho, 2nd Place – Yvonne Acda, and 3rd Place – Tydus Baker.
