In the last round, however, the defending champion Raymond Ceulemans waited , who had lost the game against his compatriot Ludo Dielis 195: 200 in 23 shots. In the decisive match against Vultink, however, the Belgian proved his nerve and won with 200: 162 in 24 shots. For the third time the Frenchman Francis Connesson took fourth place at a World Cup.
