Keith Sharp of Orlando, Fla., averaged 247.7 to lead after the first round Monday in the Professional
Bowlers Association (PBA) Senior Miller High Life Classic at George Pappas Victory Lanes.
Sharp had games of 247, 239, 266, 255, 258, 258, 256 and 203 for a 1,982 pinfall total to hold a 57-pin
lead over Dave Flemming of Fairborn, Ohio in second.
“It was one of those rounds where I had the right ball for the right condition,” said the 55-year-old Sharp
who owns one Senior Tour title. “I drilled a new ball before the round and I guessed right. I was able to
play the same shot for most of the games and it’s always a good thing when you don’t have to make a
lot of adjustments.”
Reigning PBA Player of the Year Walter Ray Williams Jr., making his Senior Tour debut, finished the round
in 11th with a 1,861 pinfall (232.6 average).
“I bowled four good games and four not so good, but overall I bowled decent," said the 50-year-old PBA
Hall of Famer. “We’ll see what tomorrow brings and go from there.”
The 157-player field will bowl another eight-game qualifying round on Tuesday after which the field will be
cut to the top 32 players who will advance to best-of-five match play beginning Wednesday at 11 a.m.
Match play continues all day Wednesday with the Round of 8 and championship rounds scheduled for 7:30 p.m.
PBA.com’s Xtra Frame video service will provide final-day coverage of the Miller High Life Classic on
