Hugh Miller Wins PBA Senior South Shore OpenBy Jerry Schneider | PBA

HAMMOND, Ind. Hugh Miller of Seattle won the

Professional Bowlers Association Senior South Shore

Open presented by DV8 for his third career Senior Tour

title and in the process became a contender for Senior

Player of the Year heading into the final tournament of the

Senior Tour season.

Miller defeated 2007 Senior U.S. Open winner Rick

Minier of Houston, 198-172, in the championship match

to move into second on the Senior Player of the Year

points list, 12 points behind Hall of Famer Walter Ray

Williams Jr. Williams hoped to clinch the honor in

Hammond but failed to earn any points after being elimi-

nated in the second round of match play.

I was kind of a long shot but wasnt really mentioned

as a contender so I kind of used that as a motivator, said

Miller, who earned 16 Player of the Year points for his

win. When Walter Ray wasnt able get any points I

thought lets win this thing and the race is on.

In the semifinal match Miller, also a seven-time PBA

Tour winner, defeated 2012 USBC Senior Masters winner

Mike Edwards of Tulsa, 237-177, to advance to the title

match. In the other semifinal, Minier defeated Hall of

Famer and four-time Senior Player of the Year Tom Baker

of King, N.C., 220-205.

Miller did not bowl the first three tournaments of the

season but finished second in the Senior Northern

California Classic and Senior Masters which put him in

Player of the Year contention.

Ive had a pretty good season considering I didnt bowl

the first three tournaments, said Miller, who finished sec-

ond in Hammond in 2008. Ive adopted a new philosophy

of bowling a little more aggressively and not giving away

the pocket. It seems to be working so I thought why not go

for it.

Edwards, who was awarded fourth in the tournament,

earned two Player of the Year points to stay in the race in

third, 14 points behind Williams.

"Twenty years from now you will be moredisappointed by the things that you didn't do

than by the ones you did do.

So throw off the bowl ines . Sail away from thesafe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails.

Ex pl ore .Dre am .

Di sco ve r."-Mark Twain

While television air waves

around the world were saturat-

ed with Olympic Games cover-

age, the Professional Bowlers

Association created awareness

for bowling a non-Olympic

sport through a renewal of an

agreement with Eurosport to airthe full 2011-12 PBA Tour

schedule on its Eurosport 2 net-

work.

The absence of bowling from

the Olympic program, a long-

standing sore spot among the

worlds millions of bowling par-

ticipants, wasnt lost on one of

the sports high-profile enthusi-

asts. While doing his best to help

Team USA win the Olympic gold

medal in basketball, Los Angeles

Clippers star Chris Paul host

of the Chris Paul PBA Celebrity

Invitational bowling event for

the past four years went on his

Twitter account to ask theworld, "Why isn't bowling in

the Olympics? It should be."

With an increasing number

of world-class international

players, and a growing number

of international PBA Tour

events, the Eurosport partner-

ship will not only increase inter-

national exposure for the PBATour, but also bring the sport to

a growing fan base worldwide,

said PBA Commissioner Tom

Clark.

The PBA began its relation-

ship with Eurosport in 2009

when Eurosport aired all of the

2008-09 PBA Tour telecasts. The

international sports television

outlet provides programming

including soccer, motor sports,

tennis, cricket, Australian foot-

ball and Olympic coverage

among many others. Eurosport

2 is one of the fastest-growing

TV channels in Europe, reach-

ing 50 million households in 16languages across 47 countries.

DECATUR, Ill. The

Professional Bowlers Association

Senior Tour will be re-named as

the PBA50 Tour beginning with

the 2013 season, PBA

Commissioner Tom Clark

announced at the PBA Senior

Decatur Open presented by

Brunswick, the concluding tourna-

ment of the 2012 Senior Tour sea-son.

The word senior is outdated

and the title PBA50 more accu-

rately reflects the vibrancy of the

players and our competition in this

age group, Clark said.

The change in name is under-

scored by the continuing stream of

stars to the over-50 circuit.

During the 2012 season alone,

players including Lennie Boresch

Jr., Mike Edwards, Bob Learn Jr.

and Amleto Monacelli immediate-

ly won titles in their first year of

Senior Tour eligibility. Monacelli,

the 2012 Senior U.S. Open win-

ner, and Edwards, the 2012 USBCSenior Masters winner, also

remain active and competitive -

on the PBA Tour, along with other

50-plus members.

On the PBA50 Tour eligibility

horizon are PBA Hall of Famers

Pete Weber (Aug. 21), Parker

Bohn III (July 13, 2013) and

ESPN analyst Randy Pedersen

(turned 50 on May 28). Also on

the list of future PBA50 competi-

tors are PBA Tour champions Jack

Jurek (April 23), Chris Warren

(Aug. 27, 2013), David Traber

(Jan. 18) and Robert Lawrence

(Sept. 29).

The ultimate example of a play-

er having concurrent success on

both Tours came two seasons ago

when PBA Hall of Famer and all-

time Tour career titles leader

Walter Ray Williams Jr. made an

immediate impact in the senior

ranks, winning in his first tourna-

ment and going on to earn Senior

Rookie of the Year honors. And

during the 2009-10 PBA Tour sea-

son, at age 50, Williams became

the oldest player in any major

sport to earn Player of the Year

honors.

This season, at the age of 52, he

is the favorite to win his first PBA

Senior Player of the Year title togo along with his record seven

Chris Schenkel PBA Player of the

Year awards.

The 50-plus program also pro-

duced previously-undiscovered

talent in years past, when highly-

talented bowlers who never had a

chance to bowl as PBA Tour play-

ers reached the age where they

could retire and give PBA-level

competition a try. Most prominent

among that group are Gene Stus,

who earned his place in the PBA

Hall of Fame as a senior champi-

on, Bob Glass, a three-time PBA

Senior Tour Player of the Year,

and two-time Senior Player of theYear Ron Mohr.

There are plenty of good

bowlers who are becoming eligi-

ble and successful on the Senior

Tour each year," Williams said.

Each tournament on the 2013

PBA50 Tour schedule will include

the PBA50 moniker along with

sponsor affiliation where applica-

ble.

PBA50 also will apply to PBA

Regional events that were previ-

ously called senior tournaments.

The exceptions will be the PBA

Senior U.S. Open and United

States Bowling Congress Senior

Masters which will retain their

present names.

In the effort to reach out to

younger bowlers, earlier this year

PBA introduced the new PBA24

membership program which

invites new players 24 years of

age and younger to experience

PBA competition for a $49 mem-

bership fee.

The 2013 PBA50 Tour schedule

will be released later this fall.
