Professional Bowlers Association (PBA) Hall of Famer Wayne Webb averaged 229.3 to take the first-round qualifying lead Sunday in the PBA Senior Lake County Indiana Open at Olympia Lanes in Hammond, IN.
Webb, of Sacramento, CA, led with a 1,835 eight-game pinfall on games of
260, 206, 202, 198, 264, 211, 268 and 226. He leads fellow Hall of Famer and
Lake County Open defending champion Mark Williams of Beaumont, TX, in second with 1,831.
The Hammond stop is the first tournament after a six-week break for the Senior
Tour this season. Webb, who won his second consecutive Senior U.S. Open title in June, spent most of the time during the break shutting down his pro shop but
hasn’t let that distraction affect his game.
“I went home and closed the shop and now I’m looking to buy a bowling center,”
Webb said. “I’m kind of in between jobs right now so I’m back to bowling for a
living for the time being."
“My muscle memory is still good and I feel my game is sharp,” he continued.
“Even with the break and having to take care of closing the pro shop I’m able to
still stay focused and do what I need to do.”
Rounding out the top five after the first round were: Harry Sullins,
Chesterfield, MI, 1817; Tom Baker, King, NC, 1,802 and Ron Mohr, Eagle
River, Alaska, 1,799.
The 119-player field will bowl another eight-game qualifying round on Monday
after which the field will be cut to the top 32 players who will advance to
best-of-five match play beginning Tuesday at 9 a.m. Match play continues all
day on Tuesday with the Round of 8 and championship rounds scheduled for 6:30
p.m.
Following Hammond, the Senior Tour visits Decatur, IL, Aug. 8-11; Joliet,
IL, Aug. 15-18 and Lansing, MI, Aug. 22-26, before ending the season with
the PBA Senior World Championship Aug. 30-Sept. 5 in Allen Park, MI.
