Stewart Anderson (born 1985 in Ayrshire)[1] is a Scottish international bowls player and a world champion indoors.[2][3]

Bowls career[]

He started bowling aged just 12 with Auchinleck Indoor Juniors and outdoor with Glaisnock Valley.[4]

Having previously been a beaten finalist in the 2010 World Championships (where he lost out to Greg Harlow)[5] Anderson beat Paul Foster in the final match that ended 10-10, 10-9 to secure the 2013 World indoor title.[2]

In 2015 he won the triples gold medal at the Atlantic Bowls Championships.[6] During the 2016 World Indoor Bowls Championship Anderson partnered up with Darren Burnett and the Scottish pair recorded their first Open Pairs title success.[7]

In 2018 he won the Scottish International Open.[8] Later that season, Anderson became a two-time World Open singles champion, winning the 2019 World Indoor Bowls Championship. He would defeat Simon Skelton in a tie-break in the final, where he would lose only one set in the championships.[9][10]

Anderson won the 2019 Scottish National Bowls Championships pairs title with Steven Shields for Eddlewood BC.[11] In 2020 he won his fourth World indoor title by winning the mixed pairs with Julie Forrest[12] and claimed a fifth when winning the open pairs for the second time with Darren Burnett in 2022.[13]
