Jasmine Yeong-Nathan (Simplified Chinese: 杨于萱, born 1988) is a Singaporean ten-pin bowler. She is the younger sister of Jason Yeong-Nathan, who is a former Singapore national bowler.[1] Yeong-Nathan was the first Singaporean to win the QubicaAMF Bowling World Cup in 2008.
Yeong-Nathan studied at Singapore Polytechnic and Nanyang Technological University.[2]
Yeong-Nathan was the 2005 and 2014 Singapore national bowling champion.[2]
Yeong-Nathan represented Singapore at the 2006 QubicaAMF Bowling World Cup.[3]
At the 2008 AMF World Cup, Yeong-Nathan beat the defending champion Ann-Maree Putney from Australia in straight sets (263-222 and 298-215), becoming the first Singaporean ever to win an AMF World Cup title.[2][4][5] She was named Singapore's Sportswoman of the Year in 2009 for her victory at the 2008 AMF World Cup.[2]
In 2015, Yeong-Nathan failed to make it to the national team for the 2015 Southeast Asian Games due to a strong bowling team.[6] Head coach Remy Ong claimed that the strength of the team was very even and that Yeong-Nathan as the reserve player could make the team anytime if any team player is to exit the team.[6]
In 2016, Yeong-Nathan won bronze in the women's Masters event at the Asian Tenpin Bowling Championships held at Hong Kong.[7]
