Mohr Leads PBA Senior Mark Roth/Allentown Open


Ron Mohr of Eagle River, Alaska, continued to pace the field in the PBA Senior Mark Roth Allentown Open Monday retaining the lead after second-round qualifying at Playdrome Rose Bowl, Allentown, PA.

Mohr, hoping to become the season’s first two-time winner after winning the
Senior Miller High Life Classic for his fourth career Senior Tour title three
weeks ago, finished qualifying with a 3,609 16-game pinfall total (225.5
average).  He had second-round scores of 232, 223, 211, 219, 213, 204, 214 and 247 and did not have a game under 200 in both rounds of qualifying.

“I went to a different ball today because I wanted to play it conservative,”
said Mohr, the 2009 Senior Player of the Year. “I went with a ball that had a
smooth, predictable roll that would better enable me to keep it in play.  The
goal today was not to go backward and stay in the top eight.”

Mohr is among 32 players from the 135-player field who advanced to Tuesday’s
match play.  Because he finished qualifying in the top eight he earns two byes
in match play.

“For match play I plan to stay conservative and use balls that are more polished to ensure that  predictable roll,” the 55-year-old Mohr added.  “It could be a case where if you shoot 225, you’ll win most of your matches so that’s how I plan to approach it.”

Rounding out the top eight are PBA Hall of Famer and 2010 Senior Rookie of the Year Walter Ray Williams Jr., Ocala, FL, in second with 3,554, followed by Harry Sullins, Chesterfield Township, MI, 3,508; Dale Cshuta, Wadsworth,
Ohio, 3,461; Hall of Famer and four-time Senior Player of the Year Tom Baker, King, NC, 3,422; Sammy Ventura, Syracuse, NY and Allentown native Kent Wagner tied for sixth with 3,395, and Michael Henry, Brunswick, Ohio, 3,385.

Match play begins Tuesday at 9 a.m. ET with Round of 8 and championship rounds starting at 5 p.m.  All the action can be seen on pba.com’s Xtra Frame video service.  Click on the Xtra Frame logo on the pba.com homepage for subscription information.
