The world's greatest bowler has received yet another honor, a third one from the Guinness Book of World of Records.
The 51-year-old Rafael "Paeng" Nepomuceno was recognized by Guinness for having the most number of career championships worldwide.
He has won 118 titles, the last being the Australia Pacific Classic where he beat 23-year-old Jason Belmonte.
The Guinness Book of World Records earlier recognized him for being the youngest champion of the World Cup of Bowling when he won it at the age of 19 and for winning the title four times in three different decades. These records remain unbeaten.
He first won the title in Tehran, Iran on November 19 , 1976 , followed by another win in Jakarta, Indonesia on November 1 , 1980 . He also won in Le Mans, France on November 8 , 1992 , and again in Belfast, Northern Ireland on November 23 , 1996.
Nepomuceno also won two other world crowns, the World's Invitational Tournament in Las Vegas, Nevada on August 8 , 1984 , and the World Tenpin Masters championship in London, England on March 7 , 1999.-ABS-CBN News
