Reigning Professional Bowlers Association (PBA) Senior Player of the Year Ron Mohr of Eagle River, Alaska, set three PBA Senior Tour records Monday on his way to the second-round lead in the PBA Senior Columbus Open at HP Lanes.
Mohr had a record 16-game overall pinfall of 4,243 after Monday’s second
qualifying round for a 265.1 average, breaking his own mark of 4,036 set in
2008. His second eight-game qualifying round pinfall of 2,160 (270 average)
broke the previous record of 2,119 set by Hall of Famer Wayne Webb of Columbus
in Sunday’s first round. Webb dropped to fourth after Monday’s second round.
In Monday’s second round Mohr had games of 279, 260, 300, 259, 300, 256, 269
and 237. His two 300 games brought his total for the tournament to three which
is also a Senior Tour record.
“You can play inside or outside on the lane and that is something I’ve never
experienced before,” said the 54-year-old Mohr. “Basically, you can score from
anywhere on the lane. There’s not one area of the lane that favors a specific
shot.”
Mohr won three titles in the 2009 season including the first two events which
helped him earn Senior Player of the Year honors. He got off to a somewhat slow
start in last week’s season-opening Senior Dayton Classic after being eliminated
in the Round of 24.
“I guess I hadn’t shaken off my winter game yet,” Mohr said about last week’s
tournament. “There’s quite a difference between bowling back home and what we
compete on here on the Senior Tour. But, I feel like I’m back in pretty good
form now.”
Mohr holds a 170-pin lead over PBA Hall of Famer and two-time Senior Tour
titlist Mark Williams of Beaumont, Texas, in second, and a 206-pin lead over
2008 United States Bowling Congress Senior Masters winner Kenny Parks of
Hammond, Ind., in third.
The 134-player field has been cut to the top 32 players who will advance to
best-of-five match play beginning Tuesday at 9 a.m. Eastern. Match play
continues all day Tuesday with the Round of 8 and championship rounds
scheduled for 6 p.m.
PBA.com’s Xtra Frame video service will provide final-day coverage of the Senior
Columbus Open on Tuesday.
