Scroggins Bowler of the Month

Professional Bowlers Association (PBA) Champion Mike Scroggins has been selected as Kegel/ Bowling Writers Association of America (BWAA) Bowler of the Month for April.

Scroggins, Amarillo, Texas, captured his second career major title by winning the 66th Lumber Liquidators U.S. Open in N. Brunswick, N.J. The 45-year-old lefthander defeated 2005 U.S. Open winner Chris Barnes before beating defending champion Norm Duke 191-173 in the title match. The win was worth $100,000 to Scroggins, who counts the 2005 USBC Masters among his six career titles on the PBA Tour.

Other nominees garnering significant votes were Patrick Allen, winner of the PBA DYDO Japan Cup; Liz Johnson, who won the 2009 USBC Queens tournament; and Ron Mohr, who posted back-to-back wins in the first two PBA Senior events of 2009.
