Kelly Kulick Tops WSOB IV Female Players

Four women were among the capacity field of 240 players who competed in WSOB IV, and PBA Tournament of Champions winner Kelly Kulick of Union, NJ, had the best showing among them. Kulick finished PBA World Championship qualifying in 53rd place, averaging 221.13 for her 32 games. She also cashed in the Viper (21st) and missed cashing in the Chameleon by one pin, finishing 37th.

How International Players Fared in WSOB IV

The field of 66 international players representing a record 17 countries (including the U.S.) acquitted themselves well during WSOB IV. Here’s how the best from each country finished in the four animal pattern events:

● Australia: Jason Belmonte, qualified first for Chameleon finals.

● Bahrain: Fawaz Abdulla, qualified fourth for Chameleon finals.

● Canada: Dan MacLelland, sixth in Viper.

● Colombia: Andres Gomez, 12th in Scorpion.

Three Players Make ESPN Debut at WSOB IV

 

Veteran PBA Central Region competitor Jeff Roche of Dearborn, MI; fifth-year PBA Tour competitor Jason Sterner of McDonough, GA, and Bahrain’s Fawaz Abdulla will make their ESPN television debuts in WSOB IV. Roche qualified No. 2 for the Alka Seltzer Plus Cold Cheetah Championship finals. Abdulla will be the first Middle East player to appear on national television in the U.S. as the No. 4 qualifier in the Chameleon Championship. Sterner is the No. 3 qualifier in the Bowlers Journal Scorpion Championship field.

Those three, along with Chris Loschetter of Avon, Ohio (Cheetah) and Tom Daugherty of Wesley Chapel, FL. (Scorpion), are trying for their first PBA Tour title.

 

Rash Top Average in the PBA World Series of Bowling IV

Reigning PBA Player of the Year Sean Rash of Montgomery, IL, came into the GEICO PBA World Series of Bowling IV as the highest averaging player on PBA “animal patterns” in three previous WSOB (224.54 for 162 games), more than two pins ahead of Chris Barnes, and he easily retained his No. 1 ranking in that category.

After another 32 games and 7,662 pins on the Cheetah, Viper, Chameleon and Scorpion patterns – a 239.44 average which earned him the No. 1 seed for the PBA World Championship match play finals – Rash improved his four-year animal pattern average to 226.99.

Some other WSOB IV notes:

● Through the four animal pattern events, Australia’s Jason Belmonte has taken the lead in “most World Series” television finals with 12 after qualifying for the Chameleon and Scorpion finals. Rash is second with 11 after qualifying for the Viper finals. Bill O’Neill of Langhorne, PA, is third, qualifying for his eighth ESPN final in the Cheetah. All three have a chance to add to their totals if they can fill any of the five stepladder berths in the PBA World Championship.

● Speaking of Belmonte, Rash and O’Neill – they are the only three players who have qualified for at least one television final in all four World Series.

● For the five WSOB tournaments, 76 players in the 240-player field – 31.6 percent – cashed in at least one event. Tommy Jones, Dan MacLelland and Stuart Williams were the only players to get a check in all five.

 

 

England's Barret Leads PBA World Championship Qualifying

England’s Dom Barrett, a second-year Professional Bowlers Association (PBA) player, charged into the lead in the PBA World Championship Wednesday night at South Point Bowling Center, Las Vegas, NV behind a 237 average and a 10-6 match play record.

Barrett, who won his only PBA Tour title in the Scorpion Championship during the 2011 PBA World Series of Bowling, entered the PBA World Championship as the No. 7 qualifier after a disappointing finish in the Bowlers Journal Scorpion Championship a day earlier. Barrett was the leading qualifier in the Scorpion event, but slipped to sixth place in the semifinal round, missing the cut to the ESPN stepladder finals by seven pins.

Wednesday night, however, he advanced from fifth place into a six-pin lead over Australia’s Jason Belmonte, finishing with a 48-game total of 11,687 pins, including match play bonus pins. Barrett rolled games of 280, 247, 277, 268, 210, 247, 245 and 235, and needed every pin to hold off Belmonte, who finished with a 11,681 total. Rhino Page of Dade City, FL, was third at 11,658 followed by fourth-round leader Sean Rash of Montgomery, IL, at 11,597 and Canada’s Dan MacLelland at 11,506.

The final eight games of match play to determine the five players who will advance to Sunday’s ESPN stepladder finals begins at for 2 p.m. PT on Thursday.

The PBA World Championships is the concluding event to the GEICO PBA World Series of Bowling IV, and the PBA’s first major championship of the 2012-13 season. ESPN will air the finals on Sunday, Jan. 13.

“When I played the finals of the Scorpion, I couldn’t get my ball through the pins,” Barrett said. “I left a lot of corner pins, but today the condition was more like what I’m used to seeing in Europe and I was able to get the corner pins out.

“I actually thought I bowled quite well in the Scorpion semifinal round, but I just couldn’t get my ball to match up. I made the adjustments today and they worked.

“Bowling here on the PBA Tour the last year, I’ve learned so much,” the three-time World Bowling Writers Bowler of the Year added. “It’s really a steep learning curve, but it’s also really special when you see the results of your hard work pay off.

“My game plan worked well today. I’m just going to try to keep striking. I know these other guys are coming after me. They’re going to bowl well, so I need to bowl well, too.”

GEICO PBA World Series of Bowling competition concludes with the final round of match play at 2 p.m. PT Thursday. Complete coverage of the final round will be available on the “live scoring” feature on pba.com, or by watching the action live on Xtra Frame, PBA’s online bowling channel.

England's Barrett Top Qualifiers for PBA Bowlers Journal Scorpion Pattern

England’s Dom Barrett, with a 279 final game, earned top qualifier honors in the Professional Bowlers Association’s Bowlers Journal Scorpion Championship at South Point Bowling Center Tuesday by 14 pins over Jason Sterner of McDonough, GA.

Barrett, who won his only PBA Tour title in the 2011 Scorpion Championship during PBA World Series of Bowling III, rolled games of 222, 235, 218, 276, 199, 258, 257 and 279 for an eight-game total of 1,944 pins to lead the field of 16 qualifiers who advanced to Tuesday night’s six-game semifinal round.

After six more games, the top four players will advance to the ESPN stepladder finals on Sunday, Nov. 11, at 2 p.m. in the World Series arena setting in South Point’s Exhibition Hall area. The Scorpion Championship finals will air on ESPN on Sunday, Jan. 6.

Rounding out the top five Scorpion qualifiers were Mike Devaney of Hemet, CA, in third place with 1,920 pins; PBA Hall of Famer Pete Weber of St. Ann, MO, in fourth at 1,913 and PBA Senior Tour standout Hugh Miller of Mercer Island, WA, at 1,905.

Barrett finally broke through to reach the semifinals after finishing 18th in the Alka Seltzer Plus Cold Cheetah Championship, missing the top 16 cut by seven pins, and finishing 17th in the Viper Championship, missing the cut by four pins. He wasn’t nearly as close in Monday’s Chameleon Championship. “I didn’t like that one so much,” he said.

But he made sure he wasn’t going to let the Scorpion get away from him.
“Around game five, you have to start lofting the ball because the condition breaks down,” Barrett said. “I’m not the best lofter, but after what I learned here last year, I’ve gotten a lot better at it, practicing hard at home.

“I won the Scorpion last year, so I’m still alive, and I’m hoping I can defend. I like the length of this pattern. It has a little more oil volume than the other patterns we bowl on,” he continued. “At home I’m used to playing on slicker surfaces, and this pattern kind of comes into that range.”

The Scorpion Championship is also was the fourth and final qualifying leg for the PBA World Championship. Combined eight-game qualifying round scores from the Cheetah, Viper, Chameleon and Scorpion Championships determined the 24 players who will advance to three eight-game World Championship match play rounds Wednesday and Thursday.

After 32 qualifying games, Sean Rash of Montgomery, IL, won World Championship top qualifier honors, averaging 239.44 for a 7,662 pinfall total. Tommy Jones of Simpsonville, SC, was second with 7,598 followed by Australia’s Jason Belmonte at 7,544; Chris Loschetter of Avon, Ohio, at 7,522 and Dan MacLelland of Canada at 7,504.

GEICO PBA World Series of Bowling competition continues Wednesday with the first two of three eight-game match play rounds in the PBA World Championship at 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. The final round of match play is scheduled for Thursday at 2 p.m.
