Randy Pedersen is Unlikely Winner in PBA50 Dayton Classic

JSchneider — Thu, 16 May 2013 13:36:06 -1200

After starting qualifying dead last with a 144 game, and not bowling competitively for six years, winning the PBA50 Dayton Classic presented by Roto Grip was the furthest thing from PBA Hall of Famer Randy Pedersen’s mind.

After his rough start, the 50-year-old color analyst for ESPN and CBS Sports Network PBA Tour telecasts rocketed through the field to win in his PBA50 Tour debut by defeating fellow Hall of Famer Amleto Monacelli, 232-226, in the championship match Thursday at Capri Lanes.

“It was a combination of just bowling bad and maybe being on a tough pair of lanes,” Pedersen of his first game. “But after that I bowled a 240, then a 230 and thought, okay, things are getting better.

“It was a combination of things,” he added. “I got some good advice, made the right ball choices and adjustments and then got a good sense pretty quickly for how the lanes were reacting and how I could adjust for it.”

In the championship match, Pedersen won by striking on his first ball in the 10^th frame on a light hit.

“Amleto had lane choice and that left me finishing on the right lane which we both knew was the toughest,” Pedersen said, “but as the match progressed I thought, hey, even though it’s been 11 years since I’ve won, I remember how to do this, so I threw what I thought was a pretty good shot and got a lucky break with the high hit.”

After winning a tournament he admitted to being a little reluctant about even entering, Pedersen plans to continue his PBA50 career by taking it tournament-by-tournament. He was a 13-time PBA Tour winner during a 25-year career (1981-2006-07). Knee injuries after the 2006-07 season and two subsequent surgeries led to his retirement.

Qualifying third for the stepladder finals, Pedersen defeated 2012 USBC Senior Masters winner Mike Edwards of Tulsa, 244-191, in the opening match and then defeated Pasco County Suncoast Open winner Bob Learn Jr. of Erie, Pa., 268-223, in the semifinal.

Throughout the 2013 PBA50 Tour season, players are competing for the opportunity to advance to the nationally-televised PBA50 Tour Finals which will be conducted as part of the World Series of Bowling V in Las Vegas in November. The top three players in points at the conclusion of the season will advance to the PBA50 Tour Finals. The top three after five tournaments this season are Walter Ray Williams Jr., Bob Learn Jr., and Lennie Boresch Jr.

The PBA50 Tour takes a short break but will return for the season’s two majors in Las Vegas. The Suncoast PBA Senior U.S. Open presented by Storm will be conducted June 2-7 at the Suncoast Bowling Center and the USBC Senior Masters June 9-14 at the South Point Bowling Center.

    300 Game - Bob Learn Jr.

Wisconsin’s Lennie Boresch Jr. Continues Momentum as Qualifying Leader in PBA50 Dayton Classic

jthomas — Wed, 15 May 2013 12:29:33 -1200

Fresh off of a win in last week’s PBA50 Miller High Life Classic, Lennie Boresch Jr. of Kenosha, Wis., emerged as the qualifying leader Wednesday in the PBA50 Dayton Classic presented by Roto Grip at Capri Lanes.

Boresch finished qualifying with a 3,847 16-game pinfall total (240.4 average) bowling games of 205, 257, 236, 239, 234, 249, 227 and 299 in Wednesday’s second round. He left the 7 pin on his final shot in the 299 game coming up a little light to the pocket.

“I guess you could say success breeds success,” said the two-time PBA50 Tour winner. “It’s just one of those things where everything seems to be coming together. I just want to ride the wave as long as I can because you never know what can happen from one tournament to the next.”

Boresch led a field of 32 players advancing to Thursday’s match play rounds finishing 72 pins ahead of second-place qualifier Bob Learn Jr. of Erie, Pa., the winner of the season-opening Pasco County Suncoast Open, with 3,775. Rounding out the top five after the second round were 2012 United States Bowling Congress Senior Masters winner Mike Edwards of Tulsa, with 3,767; PBA Hall of Famer and 2012 PBA50 Rookie of the Year Amleto Monacelli, Venezuela, 3,745, and Hall of Famer Wayne Webb of Columbus, Ohio, 3,728.

Ironically, Boresch wasn’t bowling well to start the season and thought about returning home to work on his game but decided to work through it while out on tour.

“I was able find time to work on a few things and I could tell things were coming around after the second round of the Birmingham tournament a couple weeks ago so that gave me some confidence to stick it out,” Boresch said.

Defending champion Hall of Famer Johnny Petraglia of Jackson, N.J., who won last year’s Dayton Classic to become the first player in PBA history to win a PBA Tour or PBA50 Tour title in six different decades advanced to match play by qualifying eighth with 3,620.

Qualifying 34^th after the first round, PBA Hall of Famer and PBA Tour ESPN color analyst Randy Pedersen of Clermont, Fla., bowling in his first PBA50 Tour tournament, rose steadily through the standings to finish qualifying in 13^th with a 3,590 pinfall. PBA Tour veteran and two-time winner Jack Jurek of Lackawanna, N.Y., also making his PBA50 Tour debut, advanced to match play finishing 12^th with 3,596.

The 32-players advancing to match play will begin competition Thursday at 9 a.m. ET. The field will eventually be cut to the top four for the stepladder finals scheduled for 7 p.m.

PBA Spare Shots: GEICO King of the Swing to Conclude Milwaukee’s Summer Series

bvint — Wed, 15 May 2013 08:31:18 -1200

A new GEICO Summer King of the Swing special event, a five-player stepladder final with a $25,000 prize fund and a $10,000 first prize, will conclude the PBA Tour’s Milwaukee summer series on Sunday, June 2.

The King of the Swing field will include the winners of the GEICO PBA Summer Swing’s Badger, Wolf, Bear and Milwaukee Open tournaments plus at least one “wild card” based on competition points from the four events. Here’s how the King of the Swing will work:

● The winners of the Badger, Wolf, Bear and Milwaukee Opens will be seeded into the stepladder final based upon their standings in overall competition points for the four events.

● The fifth spot in the stepladder finals will go to the highest-finishing player in Summer Swing points who has not otherwise won a spot in the finals.

● If a player wins more than one event, the next highest finisher in the subsequent tournament will advance to the stepladder (example: if Player A wins the Badger and Wolf Opens, the next highest finisher in the Wolf Open will earn the berth in the finals assuming he/she doesn’t win a subsequent event).

● The prize money for the King of the Swing will include $10,000 for first place, $6,000 for second, $4,000 for third, $3,000 for fourth and $2,000 for fifth place. The GEICO PBA Summer King of the Swing finals will be contested at 3:30 p.m. (CT) on Sunday, June 2, for airing on CBS Sports Network on Tuesday, July 9, at 7 p.m. ET.

After losing the first game, 217-162, Ventura bounced back, winning the next two games, 232-197 and 217-204, for his first PBA Central Region title of the year and his fourth career PBA Regional title. He also earned $1,400.

● Jeff Bellinger of Columbia, S.C. defeated Steve Jones of Berlin, Md., 217-191, 191-213, 236-215, in the best-of-three-game title match to win his 14th overall PBA Regional title in the PBA50 Danville (Va.) Southern Open at Riverside Lanes on Sunday. Bellinger earned $1,600.

“I’ve bowled well so far this season and I’m improving each time,” said Bower. “I cashed in the first tournament and then finished in the top 24 in the Miller High Life Classic last week so things are going in the right direction.”

Bower’s PBA Tour win came in the 1985 True Value Open in Indianapolis. In his three seasons on the PBA50 Tour his best finish is fifth coming in last year’s Dayton Classic at Capri Lanes.

“I match up well with this center so that’s another thing I’ve got going for me,” Bower added. “The goal will be to finish has high as I can in qualifying to be in good position for the match play rounds.”

Bower holds a 13-pin lead over PBA Tour and PBA50 Tour champion Mike Edwards of Tulsa, who finished the day in second with a 1,970 pinfall. Edwards owns one PBA Tour title and won the 2012 United States Bowling Congress Senior Masters in his PBA50 rookie season.

Rounding out the top five were PBA Hall of Famer Amleto Monacelli in third with 1,954, last week’s PBA50 Miller High Life Classic winner Lennie Boresch Jr., fourth with 1,901, and PBA50 Pasco County Suncoast Open winner Bob Learn Jr. in fifth with 1,856.

Defending champion Hall of Famer Johnny Petraglia finished the round in a tie for seventh with 1,848. Petraglia made PBA history at last year’s Dayton Classic by becoming the first player to win a PBA Tour or PBA50 Tour tournament in six different decades.

The 99-player field returns Wednesday for another eight-game qualifying round beginning at 9 a.m. ET. The field will then be cut to the top 32 for match play rounds on Thursday with the stepladder finals scheduled for 7 p.m.

MJakubowski — Tue, 14 May 2013 09:58:00 -1200

There is a lot to talk about in professional bowling and a tremendous opportunity to light up the social network over the next few weeks through July 9.

There are three brand new oil patterns, the 52-foot Badger, the 32-foot Wolf and the 40-foot Bear.

The “Greatest Bowlers in the World” return to Milwaukee, Wisconsin for the 2013 GEICO PBA Summer Swing May 19 – June 2. For the first time the PBA will use three different venues in one tournament featuring AMF Waukesha, AMF West and AMF Bowlero.

CBS Sports Network will present the GEICO Summer Swing Tuesday evenings at 7 p.m. ET beginning June 11 through July 9. Dave Ryan will join PBA Hall of Famer Randy Pedersen in the broadcast booth.

As the GEICO Summer Swing rolls on, let us spread the word and talk about it on Twitter #SummerSwing. The events, the format, the new lane conditions, the field, the wood surface at AMF Waukesha, the PBA Player of the Year race, CBS Sports Net, the return of Dave Ryan, the scoring paces, the winners and those who fail to win.

All of us, PBA, industry, partners, players, fans, Xtra Frame subscribers, friends, family together can take to Twitter, follow the scoring on PBA.com, watch the LIVE online Bowling Channel coverage and look forward to the CBS Sports Net shows.
