ALBUQUERQUE, NM reported by USBC - Rather than keep all of the glory to himself as he claimed the Regular All-Events crown at the 2008 USBC Open Championships, Jay Futrell of Derby, Kan., shared that winning feeling with his Team Tilt teammates, who topped more than 12,000 teams on the way to this year's Regular Team title. Futrell, a 28-year-old right hander, was the only bowler to roll three 700 series at the Albuquerque Convention Center this year and had 753 in singles, 717 in team and 713 in doubles for a 2,183 winning total. Team Tilt took the team title with games of 1,121, 1,124 and 1,129 for a 3,374 effort, and Futrell was joined by Thomas Ault Jr. (705), Joe Keltner (665), Russ Wilson (660) and Chris Greene (627). With the two wins, Futrell became the 101st bowler in tournament history, and first since 2005, to claim multiple titles in the same year.
Futrell and his teammates top the list of 22 champions at the 2008 Open Championships, which concluded July 7th after 142 consecutive days of competition. In all, 12,615 teams and more than 63,000 bowlers turned out for the tournament's second trip to the Duke City. Of the 22 latest champions, 20 were first-time winners on the championship lanes.
