Tim Mack Earns Shot at PBA Tournament of Champions

Tim Mack of Indianapolis has won lots of titles around the world, but was 
missing a Professional Bowlers Association (PBA) title until his 242-165 victory over Jason Tehee of Fresno, 
CA, in the PBA Sands Regency Tri-Regional Non-Champions Tournament at the 
National Bowling Stadium in Reno, Nev., on Dec. 3.

With his first PBA title, Mack became eligible to compete for the $250,000 first 
prize in the $1 million PBA Tournament of Champions Jan. 15-22 at Red Rock Lanes 
in Las Vegas, and immediately filed his entry.

The Tri-Regional Non-Champions event was one of three Tri-Regional events held 
at the Stadium in advance of this week’s PBA Regional Players Invitational (RPI). In 
the standard Sands Regency Tri-Regional which ended Monday, Jon Brandon of 
Newhall, CA, defeated Thomas Ault Jr., Portland, Ore., 9-8 in a sudden-death 
roll-off after they tied at 233-233 in the title match. Brandon won $2,300.

Howard Partell of Las Vegas won the Sands Regional Senior Tri-Regional title, 
defeating Jim Murtishaw of Menifee, CA, 244-238, in the battle for the $1,500 first prize.
