Professional Bowlers Association Hall of Famer Walter Ray Williams Jr. of Ocala, FL, heads a field of 32 players who advanced to match play after Tuesday’s second round qualifying in the PBA Senior Miller High Life Classic at George Pappas’ Victory Lanes.
The 2010 PBA Senior Rookie of the Year leads with a 3,899 16-game pinfall total (243.6 average) after bowling 2,025 in Monday’s eight-game round and 1,874 in Tuesday’s second round. Using the same ball he used in Monday’s round, Williams had games of 244, 257, 168, 279, 245, 195, 247 and 239 Tuesday.
“Out of the gate I liked my ball reaction much better in today’s round than yesterday but I had a couple bad games,” said the 51-year-old Williams, who is the PBA Tour’s all-time titles leader with 47 wins. “In the 168 game I had a problem adjusting to the pair of lanes I was on, and in the 195 game, I actually had a good shot to the pocket but just didn’t carry."
Rounding out the top five are Keith Sharp of Orlando, FL, in second with 3,881, followed by Gary Shultis, Levittown, NY, 3,826; Brian Brazeau of Ocala, FL, 3,785 and four-time Senior Player of the Year Tom Baker of King, N.C., 3,771.
Williams, who won last season’s PBA Senior Miller High Life Classic in his Senior Tour debut, is hoping to defend his title after a second-place finish in last week’s Senior Sun Bowl In The Villages and third-place in the season-opening Senior Don Carter Open.
“When you lead qualifying you just hope to keep the momentum going,” Williams said. “Hopefully I can keep throwing a lot of strikes because I’m going to need them. The guys on the Senior Tour are good and just like the regular tour you can’t take anything for granted.”
Match play begins Wednesday at 11 a.m. ET with Round of 8 and championship rounds starting at 7:30 p.m.
