Mohr Wins PBA Senior US Open Title Defeating Webb and Williams

After finishing second in last year’s Professional Bowlers Association (PBA)
Senior U.S. Open presented by Suncoast, 2009 Senior Player of the Year 
Ron Mohr of Eagle River, Alaska, returned to win the sport’s most 
demanding Senior Tour tournament for his first major title Friday at the 
Suncoast Bowling Center.

Qualifying fourth for the stepladder finals, Mohr defeated PBA Hall of Famer and 
top qualifier Walter Ray Williams Jr., 246-189, in the championship match to 
also win his fifth career Senior Tour title.

It was shortly after last year’s Senior U.S. Open that Mohr had to miss the rest 
of the 2010 season to return to Alaska to care for his wife, Linda, who 
eventually passed away in January as the result of complications from surgery 
last year.

“She was my guardian angel and she was with me today,” Mohr said. “Both the 
support back home and out here on tour has been unbelievable and that has been 
very important to my success this year.”

In the opening stepladder match, Mohr defeated reigning Senior Player of the 
Year and PBA Hall of Famer Wayne Webb 265-258, thanks in large part to 
converting a crucial 4-10 split in the sixth frame. Webb, who finished fourth, 
was trying to become the tournament’s first three-time winner after returning to 
Senior Tour competition as the result of missing the first four tournaments of 
the season recovering from knee surgery earlier this year.

In the semifinal match, Mohr defeated 2009 PBA Senior World Championship winner 
Harry Sullins of Chesterfield Township, Mich., in a back-and-forth 220-211 
match. Sullins, who won the Sun Bowl In The Villages earlier in the season was 
trying for his third Senior Tour title to go along with his five PBA Tour wins, 
and finished third.

“In the semifinal match I made too much of an adjustment and threw a couple bad 
shots,” Mohr said. “I thought I was going to have to make more of a major move 
after the first match but the transition really wasn’t that drastic for me so I 
just made a small couple board adjustment and got back on track.”

The win was especially satisfying for Mohr who had to come from 67th place after 
the first round of qualifying on Monday.

“It’s probably one of the biggest moves I’ve ever had to make in a tournament,” 
Mohr said. “I was concerned at that point but not overly worried,” Mohr said. 
“There was a lot of bowling left and I wasn’t that far out of the first cut (to 
56 players) so I just made the adjustments and took it a day at a time which you 
have to do in a marathon tournament like this.”

The Senior U.S. Open format is one of the most demanding in the sport. To get to 
the championship round a bowler must get through four qualifying rounds and 
three match play rounds for a total of 51 games.

As the Senior Tour heads into the second half of the season Mohr now takes the 
lead in the Senior Player of the Year race over Williams.  Mohr won the Senior 
Miller High Life Classic and also has second, third and fourth-place finishes 
this season. He avenged his second-place finish to Williams in the recent Senior 
Mark Roth Allentown Open where he lost in the title match 268-168.

“Walter’s the best out here and everyone kind of expects him to be the guy,” 
Mohr said. “It’s nice to become the top senior player in the world by winning 
the toughest tournament we bowl but right now I’m just going to enjoy the 
moment.”

The next stop for the Senior Tour will be the Senior Northern California Classic 
June 19-22 at Harvest Park Bowl in Brentwood, Calif.

Williams Continues to Lead PBA Senior US Open

Walter Ray Williams Jr. of Ocala, FL, continued his march toward becoming the first player in Professional Bowlers Association (PBA) history to win both the U.S. Open and Senior U.S. Open titles Thursday, expanding his lead as the field of 24 match play finalists headed into Friday’s final rounds of the PBA Senior U.S. Open presented by Suncoast at the Suncoast Bowling Center. 

The 51-year-old Williams, a second-year PBA Senior Tour competitor, won six of his eight matches Thursday afternoon, averaging 237 for the round to finish with a 35-game total of 8,226 pins, including match play bonus pins, and building a 203-pin lead over two-time Senior U.S. Open winner Wayne Webb of Columbus, Ohio. 

While Williams is chasing his slice of U.S. Open history, Webb and Tom Baker of King, NC, are trying to become the first player to win the Senior U.S. Open three times. Webb won in 2008 and 2009. Baker, who was in 16th place after five rounds, won in 2005 and 2006. 

Williams, the reigning PBA Senior Tour Rookie of the Year, won the PBA Tour’s U.S. Open titles in 1998 and 2003. A 47-time PBA Tour title winner including eight majors, Williams is the only player in the field who also has won the national tour’s U.S. Open. 

“I’m still throwing the ball well,” Williams said. “I had to migrate left a little tonight as the lane condition broke down, but it wasn’t much – which was fine with me. “There are no guarantees heading into tomorrow,” the 47-time PBA Tour title winner said. 

“But I like what’s going on. I’d be very happy to have to bowl only one game in the stepladder finals for the title.” 

Also in the hunt for the title are 2009 Senior Player of the Year Ron Mohr of Eagle River, Alaska, in fourth place, and defending champion Mark Williams of Beaumont, Texas, in ninth. 

The remaining 24 players will return Friday for two additional eight-game round-robin match play rounds. After 51 games, the top four bowlers will advance to the stepladder finals at 3:30 p.m. Pacific. 

All of Friday’s action will be covered live on Xtra Frame, pba.com’s exclusive video-streaming service.

The Senior U.S. Open winner takes home a $20,000 first prize and a berth into the Elite Round of the 2012 PBA Tournament of Champions.

USBC Roll ‘N Grow

Children age 7 and under now have a United States Bowling Congress membership designed specifically for them. The new USBC Roll ‘N Grow membership provides benefits for young bowlers in regular or bumper leagues of any duration at an affordable price.

“With special awards and much more, Roll ‘N Grow memberships make bowling fun for young kids who are new to the sport,” International Bowling Campus Director of Youth Development Chad Murphy said. “It’s a perfect fit for short duration leagues or bumper leagues. We encourage youth leagues that may not have certified their youngest bowlers in the past to take a look at what Roll ‘N Grow has to offer.”

The new Roll ‘N Grow membership is $8 and has no restriction on league duration. The benefits include:

• USBC Youth Membership card
• USBC tournament eligibility
• League award emblems
• USBC Special Achievement Awards
• A DVD of the cartoon series Bowlopolis
• An issue of Bowlopolis The Mag magazine
• Bowlopolis progress card with award stickers
• Bowlopolis Kids Club
• USBC certified average (minimum of 12 games for non-bumper competition)

“We know that children 7 and under love the game and often associate bowling with birthday parties,” Murphy said. “Roll ‘N Grow membership provides the tools to give kids’ leagues a party feel while teaching them about the sport so they will become lifelong bowlers.”

Bowling centers and associations may start offering Roll ‘N Grow memberships for leagues on August 1, 2011. In June, centers will receive a youth marketing package with additional information about all USBC Youth membership products including Roll ‘N Grow. The package also includes a sample of the newly redesigned USBC Youth jersey which is included as part of USBC Youth Standard membership.

USBC will continue to offer Youth Basic membership for $5 ($1 local processing) and Youth Standard for $17 ($2 local processing, 50 cents state fee). The Roll ‘N Grow membership includes a $1 local processing fee.

WR Williams, Jr. Third Round Leader of PBA Senior US Open

Professional Bowlers Association (PBA) Hall of Famer Walter Ray Williams Jr. is on a quest to add yet another milestone to an already legendary career.

Williams moved into the third round lead of the PBA Senior U.S. Open presented by the Suncoast at the Suncoast Bowling Center Wednesday with a 4,183 18-game pinfall total (232.3 average).

The 51-year-old Williams hopes to become the only player in PBA history to win U.S. Open titles on both the Lumber Liquidators PBA Tour and Senior Tour. But there’s still a long way to go in the tournament with another nine-game qualifying round and three eight-game match play rounds yet to be contested before the top four will be determined for the stepladder finals.

In Wednesday’s six-game round Williams had a 1,460 pinfall with games of 226, 238, 224, 267, 269 and 236.

“Generally I’m executing well but occasionally I’ll throw a bad shot,” said the 2010 PBA Senior Rookie of the Year. “Fortunately I’m keeping the bad shots to a minimum. When I was striking I was able to put together a lot of strings of strikes—I had eight in a row in both the 260 games.”

Williams heads a list of 56 players who have advanced to Thursday morning’s final nine-game qualifying round which will determine the top 24 players who will advance to round-robin match play beginning Thursday afternoon and continuing Friday.  When match play is completed the top four players will be determined for the stepladder finals set for Friday at 3:30 p.m. PT.

“I try to win every tournament I bowl but naturally I would be very happy to be the first to win the U.S. Open on both tours,” Williams said. “As far as the number of games, we’re just a little over a third of the way through the tournament but this is obviously a good foundation heading into the final qualifying round.

“Unless I shoot myself in the foot I should make the cut to match play but when you get there you have the bonus pins (for match wins) and that always brings another element into it.”

The career record holder with 47 PBA Tour titles and most PBA Player of the Year crowns with seven, Williams has regained top form on the Senior Tour after his worst PBA Tour season in 2009-10 in which he failed to win a title after a record 17 consecutive seasons with at least one win.

Williams, who is coming off a win in the recent Senior Mark Roth Allentwon Open, leads first-round leader Kevin Croucher of Grants Pass, OR in second 94 pins back with 4,089, and second-round leader Bo Goergen of Sanford, MI, in third with 4,079.

Other notables making the cut were 2010 Senior Player of the Year and 2008 and 2009 Senior U.S. Open winner Wayne Webb in eighth; 2009 Senior Player of the Year and 2010 runnerup Ron Mohr in 10th; Four-time Senior Player of the Year and 2005 and 2006 Senior U.S. Open winner Tom Baker in 17th, and defending champion Mark Williams in 40th.

The Raptor's "Formula-7™ Reactive" coverstock is Solid Black and Purple finished with a 4000 grit wet sand.

Goergan Moves Into Lead at the Senior US Open

Bowling in just his third Professional Bowlers Association (PBA) Senior Tour tournament, 
Bo Goergen of Sanford, MI, averaged 222.3 for six games Tuesday 
to move into the second-round lead of the PBA Senior U.S. Open presented
by the Suncoast at the Suncoast Bowling Center.

After finishing second with a 1,424 six-game pinfall after Monday’s first round, 
Goergen bowled 1,334 in Tuesday’s second round with games of 202, 212, 238, 205, 
234 and 243. His combined 12-game pinfall of 2,758 and overall average of 229.8 
leads first-round leader Kevin Croucher of Grants Pass, OR, in second with 
2,731.

Leading qualifying was an unexpected surprise for Goergen who was struggling 
with his equipment and arm swing as late as the tournament’s practice session.

“At the Sun Bowl In The Villages I just didn’t bring strong enough equipment and 
I ended up missing the cut to match play by one pin so I wanted to make sure I 
was more prepared coming in here,” said the 51-year-old Goergen.  “I was 
confident in my equipment but then I developed a problem with my arm swing that 
fortunately I was able to work out with the help of Chris Schlemmer (Storm 
Products representative) during practice.

“Tomorrow (Wednesday) I’ll be bowling on a fresh lane condition for the first 
time in the tournament so I’m going to gamble a little bit and try an outside 
line and see if I can get a good ball reaction from there.”

Georgen, who is a bowling proprietor, holds the United States Bowling Congress 
Open Championships three-game series record of 862 that he bowled to win the 
singles title in 2009.  He was also a member of the USBC Open Championships team 
all events champion in 2010.

The 224-player field will bowl one more six-game qualifying round Wednesday 
after which the field will be cut to the top 56 players for another nine-game 
qualifying round Thursday morning. The field will then be cut to the top 24 
players for three eight-game round-robin match play rounds conducted Thursday 
and Friday to determine the top four for the stepladder finals scheduled for 
Friday at 3:30 p.m. PT.

PBA legend Walter Ray Williams Jr. of Ocala, FL, is in third after Tuesday’s 
round with a 2,723 pinfall.  A win in the Senior U.S. Open for Williams would 
make PBA’s all-time career leader in Tour titles with 47 wins, the first to win 
U.S. Open titles on both the Lumber Liquidators PBA Tour and Senior Tour. 
Williams is also coming off a win in the recent Senior Mark Roth Allentown Open.

“I was really pleasantly surprised bowling as well as I did in the first block 
on fresh oil today,” said Williams, who had a 1,379 pinfall in Tuesday’s second 
round. “I was hoping to shoot 60 or 70 over (200 average) because the better 
scores usually come off the later squads but I had exceptional carry today and 
shot 179 over which will put me in great shape for tomorrow.”
