Weekend Professional Bowlers Association Action

Former Professional Bowlers Association (PBA) touring player Jason Sterner of McDonough, GA, led a field of 15 players who qualified Friday for berths in the PBA’s Carmen Salvino Classic which got underway today, Monday at South Point Bowling Center in Las Vegas NV.

In a concurrent event, six-time PBA Tour titlist Wes Malott of Pflugerville, TX, led a group of 16 players out of a field of 175 into Saturday’s best-of-five-game single-elimination match play finals in the PBA All Region South Point Open.
