Harry Sullins of Chesterfield Twp., MI, retained his lead after the second round of the Professional Bowlers Association (PBA) Senior Decatur Open presented by Brunswick Monday at Spare Time Lanes while PBA Senior Player of the Year contenders Walter Ray Williams Jr. and Mike Edwards advanced to match play in the final tournament of the season.
Sullins, a three-time Senior Tour titlist ended qualifying with a 3,663 16-game pinfall total (228.9 average) to lead 32 players advancing to Tuesday’s match play rounds. He had games of 221, 223, 243, 217, 211, 258, 206 and 182 in Monday’s eight-game qualifying round and as a result of finishing in the top eight will receive two first-round byes for match play.
“The main thing was to make the top eight to get the two byes and some momentum for match play,” Sullins said. “I want to finish strong and bail out a good finish to end the season.”
PBA Hall of Famer Williams, a two-time winner on the Senior Tour this season, needs to finish second or better to lock up Senior Player of the Year, with Edwards, the 2012 USBC Senior Masters winner, needing to win to have a shot at the title. Hugh Miller of Seattle, who was second in Player of the Year points heading into Decatur was eliminated from contention after failing to advance to match play, finishing 38th.
Both Williams and Edwards also received two-round byes in match play for qualifying in the top eight. Edwards of Tulsa, OK, qualified sixth with 3,586, and Williams of Ocala, FL, finished eighth with 3,550.
Also finishing in the top eight were Bob Learn Jr. of Erie, PA, in second 38 pins behind Sullins; Hall of Famers Mark Williams of Beaumont, Texas, in third and Wayne Webb of Columbus, Ohio, in fourth; Lennie Boresch Jr. of Kenosha, WI, in fifth, and 2011 Senior Player of the Year Ron Mohr of Eagle, River, Alaska in seventh.
Learn and Boresch, who each won a title earlier in the season, are contenders for Senior Rookie of the Year honors. Senior Rookie of the Year is determined by vote by PBA members and selected bowling media.
Hall of Famer Dave Soutar of Bradenton, FL, who bowled in his final PBA event after more than a half-century competing on the national and senior tours, finished 52nd in qualifying finishing with 3,183. The 18-time PBA Tour and seven-time Senior Tour titlist was voted the 20th greatest PBA player of all-time in 2009.
“I have to admit that realizing I’m not going to be doing this anymore, is a little depressing, but time goes on,” said Soutar. “It’s been a great career and I have no regrets.”
Round of 8 and match play rounds get underway at 6 p.m. CT on Tuesday. The PBA Senior Decatur Open is being streamed live on the sport’s online bowling channel Xtra Frame. For subscription information visit the pba.com homepage and click on the Xtra Frame logo.
