PETALING JAYA: National bowler Rafiq Ismail had already won the Singapore Open three times. But his fourth title felt different.

With his wife, Wan Nur Adzlin Wan Ahmad Ifafudin, and their two-year-old son, Mohd Yusuf, watching from the stands at Singapore Bowling and Rifle Range, the national bowling champion kept his composure to reign supreme once again.
