【PBA】 Lone Star Open 【Final】  Steve Hoskins finished the year with win No. 10 as he captured the PBA Tour"s Lone Star Open at Pasadena Diamond Lanes Tuesday afternoon. Hoskins, Tarpon Springs, Fla., slid past tournament leader Doug Kent, 246-236, to win the championship and the first-place check of $19,000. "Winning my 10th victory is huge," Hoskins said. "This is defiantly a benchmark in my career, there are few people who have won 10 titles and haven't ended up in the hall of fame so this means a lot to me." Hoskins, who led rounds second through fourth of the tournament, opened the title match by leaving the 6 and 10-pins. He converted the spare and quickly gained back his composure to string strikes in frames two through seven. Kent, who is now 0-4 as the tournament leader, started the match on shaky grounds as he left the 1-10 combination and left an open frame. He was able to strike the next three frames to stay alive in the match. The four-time titlist, whose last win came three weeks ago in Indianapolis, left a solid 10-pin in the fifth frame, which he was able to convert. He would repeat single-pins spares in the next two frames (2-pin; 10-pin) and again was able to pick both of them up. "I had too much adrenaline going and I overthrew my first shot," Kent said. "But, if you're going to leave an open, that was when you want to do it." Hoskins, who has now won at least one title every year since 1995, broke his striking-streak in the eighth frame when he once again left the 6-10 combination. He picked up the spare and threw his next shot a little high, leaving the 9-pin. He had no trouble converting the spare but found himself having to fight for the win after Kent struck in the eighth and ninth frames. Kent, who earned $10,000 for second, struck out in the 10th frame, forcing Hoskins to mark and get a count in the 10th frame. "I was glad that I got to the point that I was able to put pressure on Steve to make him win," Hoskins said. "Of course I wanted to win but I feel like I ended the season on a good note." Fittingly, Hoskins had a nine count on his first ball in the 10th frame and picked up the 10-pin to close in on his 10th victory. He had to keep his ball on the lane to secure then win but ended with a strike. "I made a few mistakes in the sixth and seventh frames but I was able to recoup and back them up with good shots," Hoskins said. "I was comfortable out there today and when the pressure was on, I was able to perform." Hoskins (249) advanced to the title match by defeating PBA Hall of Famer Walter Ray Williams Jr. (237) and Ryan Shafer (204) in the semifinal match. Williams, Ocala, Fla., took home $7,000 for his third place finish. Shafer, Elmira, N.Y., ended in fourth, worth $5,500. In the second match, Shafer (248) defeated Brian Himmler (192) and Patrick Healey Jr. (185). Himmler, Cincinnati, Ohio, earned the fifth spot and $4,500. Healey, Mexico City, received $4,000 for sixth place. In the first match, Healey (224) defeated Chris Barnes (215) and Danny Wiseman (201). Barnes, Wichita, Kan., who was making his 12th championship round appearance this year, captured $3,500 for seventh place. Wiseman, Baltimore, finished the year with $3,000 for eighth place. |

【PBA】 Lone Star Open 【Round 6】  Kent, Newark, N.Y., will shoot for his second win of the year in the No. 1 position. He will need to win only the title match versus the survivor of three shootout matches to claim his fifth career PBA crown. In his televised championship round appearances as the tournament leader, Kent is 0-3 with a 214 average. Kent, who won his most recent title three weeks ago at Indianapolis, registered a 10,064, 42-game pinfall total with an 18-6 match play record. The 13-year pro has never had a multi-win season. "This doesn't happen very often," commented Kent about leading a tournament. "The players are just so good out here." "Tomorrow, I'm going to try to do the same thing I've been doing all week and hopefully I'll be successful," said Kent, who threw an Ebonite Pantera. Claiming his sixth championship round appearance in seven events this fall, 76 pins behind Kent, is Walter Ray Williams Jr., of Ocala, Fla., (18-4-2). Williams will attempt to end the Fall Tour just as he began, with a victory. The PBA Hall of Famer picked up his 31st and 32nd PBA titles in consecutive weeks to start the swing (Track Canandaigua [N.Y.] Open & Brunswick Johnny Petraglia Open, N. Brunswick, N.J.). He remains in third place on the all-time wins list, only two championships behind Mark Roth (34). Steve Hoskins, Tarpon Springs, Fla., amassed a 15-8-1 record and finished in the third spot (9,943). The nine-time PBA champion will make his third championship round showing of the year. Hoskins, 31, is looking for his first crown since he won the Bayer/Brunswick Touring Players Championship (Akron, Ohio) back in May of 1999. Capping off a career year with his 11th championship round appearance is Ryan Shafer, Elmira, N.Y., (9,704). Shafer, one of this year's favorites to take home PBA Player of the Year honors, won his first two PBA titles earlier this year (Las Vegas & Wichita, Kan.). He posted a 14-10 record. This is his 11th championship round appearance of the year, second on the Tour. Brian Himmler, Cincinnati, rolled a 299 in the final game of the night to move into the fifth position (9,637). Himmler, who claimed his only career title last year in Albuquerque, N.M., also went 14-10 in match play. His high finish this year is second (Latham, N.Y.). Chris Barnes, Wichita, Kan., jumped one place in the round to land in sixth (9,575). The 1998 PBA Rookie of the Year, who collected a 12-9-3 record, will attempt to put an end to his year of frustration with a win to end the season. Barnes, after a loss in last week's title match, has 11 championship round appearances this year without a win, a PBA single-season record. This is his 12th championship round in 2000, which leads the Tour. The two-time PBA champion remains one of the leading candidates to claim PBA Player of the Year as he leads nearly every statistical category. He began and ended the night with 269 games. Last week's champion Danny Wiseman, Baltimore, earned the seventh spot (9,554). The eight-time titlist racked up a 15-9 record. Wiseman has claimed exactly two titles in a season three separate times during his career (1990, '91 & '95). With a win in back-to-back weeks, he would push the mark to four. Rounding out the first shootout match in the eighth position is Patrick Healey Jr. The Mexico City resident, who is targeting his first career PBA title, went 11-10-3 in match play. This is his third championship round appearance on the Fall Tour. 【PBA】 Lone Star Open 【Round 5】  Kent, Newark, N.Y., stole the lead after the seventh game in the round to finish with a 52-pin lead over Walter Ray Williams Jr., who is in second. The Newark, N.Y., resident, who is in the hunt for his second win of the year after capturing his fourth career title earlier this fall in Indianapolis, posted high games of 276, 261 and 279 in the eight-game round to gather a field-best, 13-3 match play record. He has a 34-game, 8,136 pinfall total (227 average) and is looking to make his fifth championship round appearance of the year. "The first game I was really lost and so I moved in and switched to a ball with more of a surface," said Kent, who used an Ebonite Pantera. "I started hitting the pocket and ended up on top." Making a move from fourth place to second was Walter Ray Williams Jr., Ocala, Fla. The 32-time titlist, who threw two high games of 279, tied the first game and went on to win the next seven, giving him an overall record of 12-2-2. The PBA Hall of Famer, who has made five out of six championship round appearances this fall, is targeting his third win this year. Falling from the lead to place third was Steve Hoskins, Tarpon Springs, Fla. Hoskins, who led the previous three rounds, was only able to win two games in the round. The nine-time titlist, who has yet to win a title this year, has felled 8,030 pins. The 1989 PBA Rookie of the Year has compiled an overall 8-7-1 overall match play record. Slipping one spot to end in fourth was Ryan Shafer, Elmira, N.Y. Shafer, who finished second in this year's Brunswick World Tournament of Champions (Lake Zurich, Ill.), has knocked down 7,856 pins and has racked up an 11-5 record. Shafer is looking for his third win of the year (Orleans Casino Open, Las Vegas; Wichita, Kan.) and a chance to increase his probability of winning the 2000 PBA Player of the Year Honors. Jumping 12 places into fifth was Danny Wiseman, Baltimore. Wiseman, who won his eighth PBA title last week in the Columbia 300 Open, Austin, Texas, when he defeated Barnes in the title match, has toppled 7,837 pins. He had high games of 264 and 258 on his way to amassing an 11-5 record. Jason Hurd continued his climb the leader-board as he moved from ninth to sixth. The Visalia, Calif., resident, who entered match play competition as the 24th qualifier, rolled a 258 high game and only lost two games in the round. The one-time PBA champion, who also won the 1997 National Resident Pro Championship (Honolulu), has upended 7,809 pins. Trailing Hurd by 44 pins to sit in seventh place is Chris Barnes, Wichita, Kan. The two-time titlist, who has two high finishes of second this year (MSN Open, Tucson, Ariz.; Columbia 300 Open, Austin, Texas), went 4-3-1 in the round, good for an 8-5-3 match play record. Rounding out the top eight is Brian Himmler, Cincinnati.
The nine-year pro, whose lone title came last year in Albuquerque,
N.M., has a 7,717 pinfall total (10-6). 【JPBA】 女子ランキング更新  |

【PBA】 Lone Star Open 【Round 4】  Hoskins, Tarpon Springs, Fla., posted the best block total of the evening, toppling 1,906 pins (238 average), and amassed a 6-1-1 record (6,351, 26-game pinfall total). The nine-time titlist, who has now led for three straight rounds, is looking for his third championship round showing of the year. He has a high finish of fifth this year (Brunswick ProSource Don Carter Classic, Dallas). Hoskins, who threw a Track Sensor II and a Contender during the round, commented on his big lead. "I've had two days in a row where everything I've done has worked. I'm just going to come in tomorrow and try to keep it going." Second place belongs to Doug Kent of Newark, N.Y., (6,032, 6-2). Kent, who moved up from 10th place during the round, recorded the second highest block of the evening including high games of 279, 266 and 256. The 33-year-old won his fourth career title three weeks ago at Indianapolis. Ryan Shafer, Elmira, N.Y., climbed six spots into third (5,967). The 34-year-old's 10 championship round appearances this year ranks second only to Chris Barnes (11). A win this week would bolster his campaign to be voted PBA Player of the Year by his fellow PBA members. He collected a 6-2 record. Sitting in the fourth position was Walter Ray Williams Jr., Ocala, Fla. (5,940). Williams, who owns 32 PBA titles, racked up a 5-2-1 record. Except for last week's Columbia 300 Open (Austin, Texas), the PBA Hall of Famer has made the championship round in each event this fall. Steve Jaros, Bolingbrook, Ill., bowled games of 280, 267 and 259 en route to leaping 10 spots into fifth (5,929). The three-time PBA champion finished fourth two weeks ago at the Brunswick World Tournament of Champions, his most recent championship round appearance. His highest place of the year was second at the Brunswick ProSource Don Carter Classic (Dallas). Jaros, who was the tournament's leading qualifier, lost this year's highest scoring title match to Norm Duke, 267-266. Trailing Jaros by only five pins and capturing sixth was Bryon Smith, Winchester, Ore. Smith, who is seeking his first career PBA crown, went 6-2 in the round. He has one championship round appearance already this year, a seventh place finish at the Bayer/Brunswick Touring Players Championship (Akron, Ohio). Still alive in the PBA Player of the Year hunt is Chris Barnes, who ended the day in seventh place (5,827). The Wichita, Kan., resident, who owns two PBA championships, climbed from the 13th position with a 4-2-2 record. Patrick Healey Jr., Mexico City, rounded out the top eight (5,818, 1-4-3). Healey, who is in search of his first career title, had a high game of 279. The third-year pro finished has a high finish of second this fall (Track Canandaigua [N.Y.] Open). 【PBA】 Lone Star Open 【Round 3】  Hoskins, Tarpon Springs, Fla., maintained the lead by bowling a solid round with high games of 247 and 289. The nine-time PBA champion, who has made two championship round appearances this year, has an 18-game, 4,250 pinfall total and a 236 tournament average. The 1989 PBA Rookie of the Year, who has won at least one title per year since 1996, is targeting his first title of the year. Moving up three places to land in second was Patrick Healey Jr. Healey, Mexico City, has toppled 4,050 pins. The former TEAM USA member, who has yet to win a PBA title in three years as a pro, is looking to make his second consecutive championship round appearance and his fifth of the year. Climbing eight spots to claim third was Bryon Smith. Smith, Winchester, Ore., who has been competing on the Tour full-time since 1994, has knocked down 4,049 pins. He finished seventh in this year's Bayer/Brunswick Touring Players Championship (Akron, Ohio) and is still aiming toward win No. 1. Falling from third to fourth place was Robert Smith. Smith, Simi Valley, Calif., has felled 4,037 pins. The third-year pro won his first PBA title this past summer at the U.S. Open (Phoenix) and added his second win earlier this fall in Erie, Pa. Fifth place belongs to Eugene McCune (4,007). The Munster, Ind., resident, who is making his fourth match play appearance of the year, had a high game of 267. McCune, who owns no PBA titles, finished seventh three weeks ago in Indianapolis, which was his first championship round appearance since 1997. Dropping from second into sixth place was Lonnie Waliczek, Wichita, Kan. Waliczek, who owns no PBA titles, struggled in the first few games of the round but managed to collect a 3,980 pinfall total. Walter Ray Williams Jr., Ocala, Fla., sits in seventh place. The PBA Hall of Famer, who holds the record for the most PBA telecasts (122), has a 3,990 pinfall total. Williams, who has surpassed the $100,000 single-season earnings mark for the 13th time in his career, is looking to make his sixth championship round appearance this fall. Rounding out the top eight was Justin Hromek, Andover, Kan. The three-time PBA titlist, who won the 1994 U.S. Open (Troy, Mich.), ended the round with a 3,976 pinfall total. 【JPBA】 群馬オープン 【決勝ラウンドロビン】  |

【PBA】 Lone Star Open 【Round 2】 Hoskins, Tarpon Springs, Fla., jumped five places into the lead with the help of a 244 average during the round (2,902 12-game pinfall total). The nine-time titlist jumped out to a torrid start, bowling games of 255, 258, 279 and 245 to start the night. The 1989 PBA Rookie of the Year is looking to capture his first title since May of 1999 (Bayer/Brunswick Touring Players Championship, Akron, Ohio). He has nine match play appearances in 16 tournaments bowled this year. Lonnie Waliczek, Wichita, Kan., remains in second place, 118 pins behind Hoskins . The former Wichita State University All-American, who is a fourth-year pro, is shooting for his fourth match play showing of the year. Robert Smith, Simi Valley, Calif., who averaged 238 during the round, moved up 17 places into third (2,778). The 26-year-old, a former standout with TEAM USA, has two career victories including the 2000 U.S. Open (Phoenix) and a win this fall in Erie, Pa. He has five match play appearances this year. The fourth spot belongs to Michael Haugen Jr. of Mesa, Ariz., (2,777). The sixth-year pro, who has a career high finish of fourth place (Albuquerque, N.M., 1999), is aiming to qualify for match play in back-to-back tournaments. His night was highlighted by consecutive 246 games. Also searching for his first career title is Patrick Healey Jr., Mexico City, who sits in the fifth position with 2,768 total pins felled. Healey, who moved up two spots in the round, has made the cut to match play in nine tournaments this year. He has high finishes of second (Track Canandaigua [N.Y.] Open) and fourth (Columbia 300 Open, Austin, Texas) thus far on the Fall Tour. Dave Arnold, Reno, Nev., averaged only 209 to drop from the top spot into sixth (2,738). He has three match play appearances in nine tournaments bowled to his credit this season. Walter Ray Williams Jr., Ocala, Fla., climbed four spots into seventh, only two pins shy of Arnold. A win this week would give Williams, a 32-time PBA champion, his third title of the year. The 20-year pro kicked-off the Fall Tour by winning the first two events, the Track Canandaigua (N.Y.) Open and the Brunswick Johnny Petraglia Open, N. Brunswick, N.J. In his career, the PBA Hall of Famer has twice claimed exactly three titles in a single season (1986, & '97). He was voted PBA Player of the Year each of those years. Rounding out the top eight is Norm Ginsberg Jr. of Massapequa, N.Y., (2,724), also seeking his first PBA crown. 【PBA】 Lone Star Open 【Round 1】  Arnold, Reno, Nev., averaged 247 through the six-game round to capture a 17-pin lead over second-place finisher Lonnie Waliczek. The two-time PBA titlist, who has a six-game pinfall total of 1,483, posted a high game of 279 and did not bowl a game below 233. He is looking for his first win since 1996 (Reno, Nev.). Second place belongs to Waliczek, Wichita, Kan. Waliczek, who was an All-American at Wichita State, finished the round with high games of 279 and 278. He is looking for his first career title and to improve on a high finish of eighth this year (Track Canandaigua [N.Y.] Open). Another Wichita, Kan., resident, Chris Barnes, sits in third. The 1998 PBA Rookie of the Year, who is a two-time PBA champion, has a 1,448 pinfall total. He registered a high game of 276 and did not throw a game below 200. Barnes, who leads the Tour in almost all statistical categories including average (221.08), cashes (17 - tied with Danny Wiseman), match play appearances (16) and championship round appearances (11), is still looking for win No. 1 of the year. Ending the round in fourth place was Eugene McCune. McCune, Munster, Ind., has felled 1,439 pins. He is aiming toward his first PBA title. Michael Haugen Jr., Victorville, Calif., rolled a high game of 279 to help him place fifth.

【PBA】 Columbia 300 Open 【Final】 Wiseman, Baltimore, defeated Chris Barnes, Wichita, Kan., 252-232, in the title match to earn his eighth career PBA title and the $20,000 first-place check. The 11-year pro improved his career record in title matches to an impressive 8-2 (80%). Although, he had to wait more than two years to add this win to his list of credentials. The last time he bowled in a title match was also his most recent victory back in June of 1998 (Portland, Ore.). "You don't know the pain," said Wiseman. "You start to question yourself and it becomes mental more than anything else. Today, I didn't care about putting on a show. Quite simply, I was out there to win." In the early going, the 33-year-old left no doubt what his goal was. He struck on his first eight shots, taking a 41-pin lead after the eighth frame. At this point, victory seemed to be an afterthought. Wiseman was shooting for perfection. Shockingly, one frame later, he opened the door for Barnes, who was back in the title hunt. Wiseman was unable to convert the 4-6-7-10 "big-four" split in the ninth frame. Barnes, a two-time titlist who earned $11,000 for second place, seemed to be out of the match after he was unable to convert the 1-2-4-10 "washout" in the seventh frame. But, after a strike in the eighth frame and Wiseman's open, Barnes hope arose. He trailed by only 20 pins entering the final frame. After enjoying a large lead for most of the game, Wiseman found himself needing a mark plus two pins in the 10th frame for the win. He secured the victory with a spare and a strike, ending any chance Barnes had for the win. Barnes, the 1998 PBA Rookie of the Year, began the game with a spare followed by a string of strikes in frames two through five. However, his misfortune in the seventh frame proved to be the difference. "I was trying to be to perfect with the ball on the left lane," said Barnes. "It was so tight, there was just no room for recovery. I caught a couple of lucky breaks earlier on that lane. It was only a matter of time until the luck ran out." In the three-man semifinal shootout match, Barnes (255) powered
past Parker Bohn III (231) and Patrick Healey Jr. (193). Bohn,
Jackson, N.J., earned $8,000 for third place. Healey, Mexico
City, rounded out the top four earning $6,000. |

【PBA】 Columbia 300 Open 【Round 6】  Wiseman, Baltimore, needs only to win Wednesday evening's title match versus the survivor of one three-man shootout match to claim his eighth career PBA title. He outdistanced the field by 103 pins (10,024 42-game pinfall total), including games of 276 and 267 in the last round. The last time Wiseman qualified No. 1 for a championship round was in Portland, Ore., in 1998, which was also his last victory. The 33-year-old owns a 2-1 career record as the tournament leader. "I've been out on the Fall Tour for six weeks now and I've had a chance every week," said Wiseman, who used a Revolution Burgundy Sparkle IST ball. "Somehow, I've managed to screw it up every week. I'm tired, but I'm in a good bowing rhythm right now, so let's go. Whatever happens tomorrow, so be it." Parker Bohn III, Jackson, N.J., claimed a spot in the first match, qualifying in the second position (17-6-1, 9,921). The recent PBA Hall of Fame inductee, who has already successfully defended one title this year (Japan Cup, Tokyo), will try to hold on to his 1999 Columbia 300 Open crown. With a victory, Bohn would tie Pete Weber for seventh place on the PBA's all-time wins list with 25 titles. Claiming the third spot was Chris Barnes, Wichita, Kan., (14-10, 9,898). The two-time PBA champion will attempt to claim his third career title and his first victory in 2000. Two weeks ago in Indianapolis, Barnes set the all-time record for consecutive championship round appearances in a single year without winning a title (10). This is his 11th championship round appearance of the year, which leads the Tour in 2000. Should he take home his first trophy of the year, Barnes would add pressure to an already tight race for PBA Player of the Year honors heading into the last week of the season. Patrick Healey Jr., Mexico City, earned the fourth and final spot, having upended 9,826 total pins (16-8). Making his 10th career television appearance, the third-year pro will once again strive toward collecting his first career PBA title. There have been three new champions already this year (Mika Koivuniemi, Ryan Shafer & Robert Smith). Mike Aulby needed to finish in at least eighth place, which paid $3,200, to join Walter Ray Williams Jr. and Pete Weber as the third player in PBA history to surpass the $2 million milestone in career earnings. Aulby narrowly missed, only $135 short of the mark in ninth place. 【PBA】 Columbia 300 Open 【Round 5】  Wiseman, Baltimore, won all but one game in the round to jump five spots and claim the lead. The seven-time PBA champion, who has a high finish of third on the Fall Tour (Erie, Pa.), finished with a high game of 268 on his way to collecting a field best, 13-3 match play record and a 226 tournament average. He has a 34-game 8,087 pinfall total and is looking for his first win since 1998 (Portland, Ore.). "My rhythm and timing was great today," Wiseman said. "It was one of those days you always hope for." "I haven't won for quite a while so I am really trying to stay in control and keep on pushing myself until I can find another win," said Wiseman, who used a Revolution Burgundy Sparkle IST ball. Wiseman has been the tournament leader only three times in his career. He won his first title (Baltimore; 1990) from the top spot, he led in Pittsburgh in 1996 and lost to Steve Hoskins and he won his last title from the top spot. Holding on to second place with an 8,020 pinfall total is Chris Barnes, Wichita, Kan. The two-time titlist, who has made 10 championship round appearances this year but has been unable to win a title, went 6-2 in the round, good for an overall record of 9-7. Barnes currently leads the Tour in 2000 average (220.74), cashes (17, tied with Wiseman), match play appearances (16) and championship round appearances (10, tied with Ryan Shafer). Defending champion Parker Bohn III, Jackson, N.J., sits in the third spot. The PBA Hall of Famer, who also won this tournament in 1995, lost only two games and registered a high game of 266 in the round to move up from seventh. Bohn, who is the reigning PBA Player of the Year, has gathered a 10-5-1 record and a 7,887 pinfall total. The 24-time champion, who has two wins so far this year (Chattanooga, Tenn.; Japan Cup, Tokyo), remains one of the leading candidates for winning 2000 PBA Player of the Year honors. Rounding out the top four is Patrick Healey Jr., Mexico City. Healey, who fell from the lead after winning only half of his games in the round, has upended 7,869 pins. The third-year pro, who finished third here last year, has compiled an 11-5 match play record. He is aiming toward his first career title. |

【PBA】 Columbia 300 Open 【Round 4】  Healey, Mexico City, posted a field-best 7-1 match play record (tied with Tommy Jones) with high games of 279, 266 and 257. The former TEAM USA member, who is a third-year pro, registered a 6,018 26-game total pinfall (223 overall average). Healey had one championship round appearance this fall, losing the Track Canandaigua Open title match to Walter Ray Williams Jr., 225-217, which was his high finish this year. "When someone puts together a run like I did tonight, with the scores being this low, you can make up a lot of ground quickly," said Healey, who was 122 pins out of the top spot after the first game. Healey, who used a Columbia Pearlized Gold Quake, put together the highest block total of the round with 1,888 pins toppled (236 average). Trailing Healey by three pins to fall one place into second was Chris Barnes. The Wichita, Kan., resident, who owns two PBA titles, amassed a 3-5 record with a 279 high game.

【PBA】 Brunswick World Tournament of Champions 【Final】  Couch, Clermont, Fla., become the only person in PBA history to successfully defend the T of C title when he defeated Ryan Shafer in the title match, 198-166. "It's a remarkable feeling," Couch said. "It was amazing to win it the first time and you never expect to do it twice, let alone back-to-back." Couch, who earned $60,000 for first place (the largest check on the Tour this year), opened the final game with a strike. Shafer, Elmira, N.Y., kept up with the tournament leader by duplicating a strike in the first frame. The two stayed dead even by converting single-pin spares in the second frames and striking again in the third. Shafer, who took home $31,000 for his second-place finish, broke the tie in the fourth frame by leaving the "Greek church" (1-2-4-10 split). Unable to convert the difficult split, Shafer fell behind as Couch converted a spare in the fourth and once again struck in the fifth frame. "During the first few frames, I knew Couch was having trouble carrying," Shafer said. "So, when I threw the split I knew it was bad but I thought I could still have chance, but Jason continued to bowl great and he deserved the win." Couch, who now owns eight titles, including three PBA "majors," left a ringing 10-pin in the sixth frame, but easily converted it. Following a strike in the seventh frame, he came in light and left his first split of the night, a 3-6-7. In true champion form, Couch converted the split to secure his lead. Shafer continued to struggle, converting three single-pin spares in frames five through seven and left an open in the eighth frame, after leaving the 1-2-4-10 "washout." Couch, knowing he was minutes away from a victory, left the 3-pin in the ninth and had no trouble picking up the spare. Shafer, who was making his first appearance in the T of C, converted a spare in the ninth frame and began to accept his loss. He left a two-count on his first ball in the 10th frame, allowing Couch to celebrate his win early. "After converting the split in the eighth frame, I knew I could go all the way," Couch said. "This win means a lot to me, I really feel I'm up to the challenge of being named among the best with this win." Shafer advanced to the title match by defeating Norm Duke (202) and Steve Jaros (195). Duke, Clermont, Fla., ended in third with a $23,000 check. Jaros, Bolingbrook, Ill., garnered $16,000 for his fourth place finish. In the second match, Jaros (257), who owns three PBA titles, defeated Doug Kent (221) and Walter Ray Williams Jr. (214). Kent, Newark, N.Y., who won his fourth PBA title last week in Indianapolis, placed fourth, good for $16,000. Williams, Ocala, Fla., grabbed fifth place and a check for $12,000. In the first match, Kent (224) defeated Dave Husted (204) and Tommy Delutz Jr. (179). Delutz, Flushing, N.Y., ended in seventh and received a check for $9,000. Husted, Milwaukie, Ore., took home $8,000 for his eighth place finish. 【PWBA】 Sam's Town Invitational 【Round 2】 |

【PBA】 Brunswick World Tournament of Champions 【Round 6】  Couch, Clermont, Fla., defeated Norm Duke, 205-176, in the final game of the evening to steal the top qualifier's spot. Couch needs only to win the title match, versus the survivor of three shootout matches, to claim his eighth career PBA title and become the first player in the T of C's 35-year history to successfully defend the title. He won last year's event in Overland Park, Kan. Couch, who is shooting for his third career "major," registered a 10,786 48-game pinfall total and collected a 12-12 match play record.

Duke, also of Clermont, Fla., amassed a field-best 17-7 match play record en route to claiming the second position (10,769). The 19-time PBA champion is the only player on Tour with three titles this year including one "major," the PBA National Championship (Toledo, Ohio). He will make his seventh championship round appearance in 2000. Ryan Shafer, Elmira, N.Y., remained in the third position with 10,763 pins upended. Shafer, a two-time PBA titlist, is now tied with Chris Barnes for a PBA-best 10th championship round appearance of the year. Shafer, who racked up a 14-10 record, is the only player in the field who will try to win the Brunswick World T of C in his first year of eligibility. Only five players have accomplished this feat, the last being PBA Hall of Famer Mark Williams (1985). The fourth spot belonged to Walter Ray Williams Jr., Ocala, Fla., (10,711). The PBA Hall of Famer, who has claimed two "majors" in his PBA career (Touring Players Championship [1994] & U.S. Open [1998]), is aiming toward his first Brunswick World Tournament of Champions win. His previous career-high T of C finish was second place in 1989. He had a 15-9 record. Trailing Williams by seven pins to claim the fifth spot was Steve Jaros, Bolingbrook, Ill. The three-time PBA champion, who climbed from 10th in the round, will target his first career "major" after piling up a 13-11 record. He finished fifth in his only other career T of C championship round appearance (1994). Tommy Delutz Jr., Flushing, N.Y., ended in the sixth position to claim a spot in the first shootout match. Delutz, who won his only career title last year in Lakewood, Calif., mowed down 10,649 total pins and amassed a 16-8 record. Last week's winner (Indianapolis) remained in the seventh spot with a final 12-10 record (10,615). Kent, owner of four PBA titles, will make his fourth championship round appearance of the year. Dave Husted, Milwaukie, Ore., rounded out the top eight (10,604). The PBA Hall of Famer owns 14 titles including one this year, the NBS National/Senior Doubles with partner Pete Couture (Reno, Nev.). In addition, he has four "majors" to his credit, the U.S. Open (1982, '95 & '96) and the Touring Players Championship (1985), and a career high fourth place finish in the T of C (1982 & '93).

The 26-year-old TEAM USA representative was a member of The Ohio State University bowling team from 1993-'97. "I don't live out here on the Tour," said Hoffman, who is bowling in his first PBA National event. "I'm bowling in this tournament to enjoy myself and to see how well I can do." "I came into this event expecting the tough competition," said the Track Inc. staffer. "These are all people I tried to emulate growing up. Now that I've reached my goal of making match play, some of the pressure has been taken off my shoulders." Jason Couch, Clermont, Fla., dropped into the second spot after leading the previous two rounds. Couch, who is looking to capture his first title since the Brunswick World T of C one year ago (Overland Park, Kan.), has toppled 28 less pins than Hoffman.
