Rino Page Leads Qualifying

Could not get myself to use "Rhino charges to the lead" for the headline. But I couldn't just let it dangle there.

After rolling a pair of 289 games earlier in the round, Rhino Page of Topeka, Kan., closed the opening round of match play with a perfect game Thursday night to take the lead in the Professional Bowlers Association’s H&R Block Tournament of Champions at Red Rock Lanes.

Page, bowling in his first Tournament of Champions, finished the fourth round averaging 240.3 for his 32 games taking a 23–pin lead over Mike Scroggins of Amarillo, Texas. Earlier in the day, Page jumped into contention when he started the third round with three consecutive 279 games.


It's great to see Brian Voss, Amleto Monacelli, Danny Wiseman, Rick Lawrence (Last Champion qualifier), Dave D'Entremont and Chris Warren make the top 24.
