Malaysian lawn bowler Siti Zalina Ahmad won her fourth Commonwealth Games medal after she defeated Norfolk Island's Shae Wilson in the women's singles bronze medal match on Monday.
The 43-year-old, who lost to Guernsey's Lucy Beere 15-21 in the semi-finals earlier in the day, made amends by winning 21-10 in 16 ends.
Despite the pressure, it was one of the three-time Southeast Asian Games medalist's quickest games at the Victoria Park in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire — her shortest outing was 15 ends against Niue's Olivia Eunice Buckingham in the sectional play.
