Vol. 76 No. 25 August 19 - 25, 2015 50 cents

By Jerry Schneider - PBA

WELCH, Minn. (July 22, 2015) - In a

title match featuring two PBA Hall of 

Fame players with a combined 71 titleson the PBA Tour, Parker Bohn III of 

Jackson, N.J., defeated Pete Weber of 

St. Ann, Mo., to win the PBA50

Treasure Island Resort & Casino Open

 presented by Roto Grip notching his

second PBA50 Tour title of the season.

Bohn, who solidified his position as a

contender for PBA50 Player of the Year,

defeated 37-time PBA Tour winner 

Weber, 259-238, in the championship

match which was also his third career 

PBA50 Tour title.

In the title match, Bohn survived a

 potentially devastating open in the

eighth frame when he left the 2-4-6-7-

10 split which he failed to convert after bowling the first

seven strikes of the match.

“The ball just hung up in my hand which threw off my

 push-away,” said Bohn, who has won 34 titles on the PBA

Tour. “I wasn’t too worried because I had a pretty good lead

at that point and I knew right away what to do to correct it.”

Bohn, who won the season-opening Pasco County

Florida Open, did indeed correct the problem throwing

strikes in the ninth and the first ball in the 10th frame

which was enough to shut out Weber who was trying for 

his second win of the season after winning the Suncoast

PBA Senior U.S. Open in June.

As the No. 4 qualifier in the finals, Bohn had to win three

matches against tough opponents to get to the champi-

onship match against Weber who was the No. 1 qualifier.

In the opening match Bohn defeated eight-time PBA50

Tour champion and two-time PBA50 Tour Player of the

Year Ron Mohr of Las Vegas, 242-193. In a battle of left-

handers, Bohn defeated eight-time PBA Tour winner and

PBA50 Tour rookie Mike Scroggins of Amarillo, Texas,

who was trying for his third win of the season, 268-216.

In the semifinal match, Bohn defeated Hall of Famer and

25-time PBA Tour winner Brian Voss of Centennial,

Colo., 258-202, who was trying for his first PBA50 Tour 

win.

“I know it sounds like a cliché but you have to take one

game and one tournament at a time, especially at this point

in the season,” Bohn said. “When you look at a finals line-

up like we had tonight with this much talent, if you even

think about thinking too far ahead you’re asking for trouble.”

By winning the title Bohn joined Scroggins, also a Player 

of the Year contender and leading contender for Rookie of 

the Year, as the only two-time winners this season.

In addition to the race for PBA Player of the Year, the top

eight in competition points will earn entries into the

GEICO World Series of Bowling VII in Reno this

December where they will vie for the two championship

match spots in the PBA Challenge finals which will be tel-

evised by ESPN. Weber, Scroggins, Bohn and Mohr are

all presently solidly in the top eight in points.

one). The icing on the cake is that he

qualified for and received his PBA

luck in upcoming regional events.

"This is my generation's tour and

to already have a title is incredible.

I'm just so excited to have this

opportunity."

16 games of round-robin match

 play and Johnson dominated the

competition. She went 14-2 in her

TORONTO – Team USA’s

Shannon Pluhowsky of Dayton,

Ohio, captured the gold medal in

women’s singles, and Liz Johnson

of Cheektowaga, New York, and

Devin Bidwell of Wichita, Kansas,

each earned bronze in the final

 bowling event of the Pan

American Games.

Pluhowsky topped Aumi Guerraof the Dominican Republic in the

title match, 223-212, to earn her 

second Pan American Games sin-

gles title. She also won the title at

the 2003 event.

“Just be able to pull it together 

… I didn’t bowl great all week, I

had my ups and downs,”

Pluhowsky said. “I kind of figured

it out in position round, I was

going to throw the same ball on

 both lanes. And it worked.”

Pluhowsky started match play in

fifth, but had games of 224, 206

and 225 to quickly move into sec-

ond behind Johnson, and the U.S.

teammates would hold those spotsto reach the semifinals.

“That was the goal, to be 1-2 or 

1-3 so we didn’t have to bowl each

other in the semifinals,”

Pluhowsky said. “We’re very good

friends and I was excited to come

here with her. To come here with

one of your friends, be able to win

a medal, and represent our coun-

try, it was awesome.”

Bidwell, competing in his first

international competition for 

Team USA, finished third in qual-

ifying and faced eventual singles

champion Marcelo Suartz of 

Brazil in the semifinals. Bidwell

fought back after open frames in

the fourth and fifth, but couldn’t

catch Suartz, falling 202-182.

“I was busy trying to breathe,”

Bidwell said about closing the gap

late in the match. “That was a

good match and taught me some-

thing. This whole week has been

humbling. I expected it to be, and

it was a lot cooler than I expected.

It was cool to have the opportuni-

ty and to have a couple of good

days of bowling. I hope there are

more events like this I can have an

opportunity to compete in.”

Pluhowsky reached the title

match with a 214-212 victory over 

Colombia’s Rocio Restrepo. In the

other semifinal, Johnson missed a

10 pin in the first frame, had a split

in the third and could not catch

Guerra, who would win 258-181.

“I was fortunate to still be in the

lead (after match play),” Johnsonsaid. “I popped a couple of decent

games at the end to stay in first.

With the top-four bracket … you

never know. I didn’t make the

shots I wanted to during the

match. It’s tough when you start

with a missed 10 pin.”

The men’s top qualifier also was

knocked out in the semifinal

round. Canada’s Dan MacLelland

fell to Venezuela’s Amleto

Monacelli, 187-178. Suartz would

top Monacelli, the 53-year-old

USBC Hall of Famer, 201-189, in

the title match.

Tommy Jones of Simpsonville,

South Carolina, fought through atight back issue all day and gave

himself a shot at reaching the

semifinals by closing with games

of 235 and 246. But Monacelli had

games of 226 and 218 to keep

Jones out of the semifinal round

 by 10 pins.

“Amleto bowled a good game

the last game,” Jones said. “The

split he made, you make two out

of a hundred. That’s why he’s a

hall of famer.”

Team USA has won 21 of a pos-

sible 32 gold medals, seven silver 

medals and six bronze medals in

 bowling in Pan American Games

history.

CHINA’S PBA PIONEERS LEAGUE

CONTINUES TO PURSUE PBA STATUS The Longmarch PBA Pioneers League in China is currently in its fifth

season of working to develop players to PBA membership eligibility sta-

tus. The PBA Pioneers League program involves rigorous three-day, 12-

games-a-day qualifying events, and requires players to average at least

200 in order to meet the PBA’s minimum eligibility requirement before

applying for membership.

Longmarch Bowling owner Frank Zhao, who founded the PBA league

 program, said 26 bowlers from all parts of China are competing in the

current session, which got underway following a Brunswick-sponsored

visit to China by PBA Tour champion Sean Rash, PBA Tour Reps Chuck 

Gardner and Pat Mitchell for a series of clinics, pro-ams and exhibitions.

Representatives of the Pioneers league program will travel to Reno in

December to compete in the GEICO PBA World Series of Bowling VII,

following in the footsteps of the first delegation of Chinese bowlers ever 

to compete in the WSOB last fall at South Point in Las Vegas.Zhao also said it appears representatives of the China Bowling

Association and the China Sport Bureau will join the Chinese PBA

members in Reno this year as the world’s largest nation continues to pur-

sue training and education for its emerging bowling programs.

By Terry Bigham - USBC

TORONTO – The United States

 picked up two medals in the dou-

 bles bowling competition at the

Pan American Games as the Team

USA women claimed the silver 

medal, while the men’s team need-

ed a mark in its final frame to earn

the bronze.

Team USA’s Liz Johnson of 

Cheektowaga, New York, and

Shannon Pluhowsky of Dayton,Ohio, could not catch the steady

Colombian team of Clara Guerrero

and Rocio Restrepo, who com-

 bined for a pinfall total of 5,074 for 

the 12 games. Johnson and

Pluhowsky finished 149 pins back 

with a 4,925 total, while Venezuela

shot 4,819.

“It had its ups and downs again,”

Pluhowsky said of the team’s day.

“We played the wrong part of the

lane too long. The one game where

we both shot 180, we were search-

ing.”

Colombia, meanwhile, was

steadily increasing its lead.

“They’re great bowlers and they

 just bowled phenomenal today,”

Johnson said. “We started out well

… I got caught up staying a little

further right than I wanted to and

second-guessing myself. Once we

moved in, it was a better reaction

 but we had a lot of holes today.”

Canada sprinted away from the

men’s field, posting a 5,607 total to

top second-place Colombia by 318

 pins. Dan MacLelland shot 815 in

the first three games, and Francois

Lavoie had the first 300 game inthe Pan American Games to lead

Canada.

The U.S. duo of Devin Bidwell of 

Wichita, Kansas, and Tommy Jones

of Simpsonville, South Carolina,

who had dropped to fifth after nine

games, pulled within three pins of 

third-place Mexico heading into

the final game.

Bidwell rolled a 245 game, but

Jones still needed to mark in the

final frame, on a pair where he had

thrown five splits in the first eight

frames. Jones stepped up and

 buried the first two shots to push

Team USA into third with a 5,203

total, 22 pins ahead of Mexico.

“Thank goodness he bowled a

245 last game because I was bowl-

ing 150 going into the 10th,” said

Jones, who finished with a 164. “I

actually asked coach on the fill shot

if I could try something different

 just for my own sanity. This game

is very frustrating, and that’s one

thing that makes it great.”

Bidwell said winning bronze in

his first international competition

with Team USA was “oddly satis-

fying.”“We didn’t come here for bronze,

 but that last pair ... I’m glad we got

on the podium,” Bidwell said.

For the U.S. women, Johnson had

a record-tying 299 game, leaving a

10 pin on her last shot. She tied the

mark set by Tennelle Milligan, the

Team USA High Performance

Manager, at the 2007 Pan

American Games.

“I didn’t think it was a bad shot,”

Johnson said of her final roll. “I got

a little bit in, but that shot I proba-

 bly got it in the most of the 12

shots. It went kind of flat.”
