Second Round at the TOC

Mike DeVaney of San Diego would like to make his second career Lumber Liquidators PBA Tour title a big one.

DeVaney, who won his only PBA Tour title six years ago in Tacoma, Wash., finished the second round of qualifying in the Professional Bowlers Association H&R Block Tournament of Champions at Red Rock Lanes Thursday with a 287 game for a 3,909 total and a 29-pin lead over first-round leader Ryan Shafer of Horseheads, N.Y.

Holding the 16-game lead wasn’t a big deal for Devaney.

“You can’t pay attention to the scoreboard when you’re bowling these guys,” he said. “I’m confident. I’m very happy to be bowling well, especially after the way I’ve bowled the first part of the season. I’ve been dealing with a couple of physical issues, but I think I have them under control.
