KULICK CLAIMS THIRD U.S. WOMEN'S OPEN TITLE UNDER THE FAMED RENO ARCH

Kelly Kulick

Professional sports history was made Wednesday night when Bowling's U.S. Women's Open was held outdoors on Virginia Street under the iconic Reno Arch. Kelly Kulick of Union, N.J., defeated Missy Parkin of Lake Forest, Calif., 170-160, to win the major title.  

Playing against the wind, dust and the setting desert sun, Kulick won her third career U.S. Women's Open title while overcoming some of the most challenging lane conditions in the history of professional bowling.

"I don't know what it is about this event, but I always gear up for it," said Kulick, who also won the U.S. Women's Open in 2003 and 2010. "To have this type of atmosphere, it brings a lot of attention to our sport, which is much needed. The Bowling Proprietors' Association of America, Ebonite and all the sponsors are trying to showcase women's bowling, and I support it."

The five players in the finals, which will be broadcast July 3 at 8 p.m. Eastern on ESPN2, battled challenging lane conditions over the course of the evening under a unique setting in downtown Reno.

"Kelly faced the dual challenge of competing against the best female players from across the globe in the face of playing conditions U.S. women's bowling has never before seen," said Steve Johnson, BPAA executive director.  "Great credit goes to the incredible competitors in this year's finals for helping us to do the seemingly impossible - hosting a competition that may have topped last year's U.S. Women's Open at Cowboys Stadium."

Added Johnson, "Congratulations to the hundreds of players from throughout the world who came to Reno to compete and who have helped drive an incredible resurgence for the popularity of bowling."

With winds gusting between 18-24 mph throughout the finals, the players were forced to deal with adverse conditions throughout the evening. Dust on the lanes drastically affected the scoring pace and forced the bowlers to resort to using plastic balls much of the night.

"It was like bowling in the desert," said Kulick, who entered the finals as the top seed and only had to bowl one match to win the title. "Sitting there and watching what was happening before me really helped give me the advantage of figuring out what I had to do to win."

Despite throwing splits in the eighth and the ninth frame, Kulick entered the 10th frame with a chance to shut out Parkin. Kulick spared in the final frame to lock up the title and knock off the second-seeded Parkin.

In the semifinal match, Parkin took down No. 3 seed Shannon O'Keefe of Arlington, Texas, 150-148, in a match that was back and forth the whole way. Parkin locked up the win when O'Keefe, needing a double, left a pocket 10 pin in the final frame.

O'Keefe advanced to the semifinal by defeating fourth seed Stefanie Nation of Grand Prairie, Texas, 182-165. In the opening match of the five-player stepladder finals, Nation took down Lynda Barnes of Double Oak, Texas, 166-158.

The U.S. Women's Open was accompanied this week by the inaugural Senior U.S. Women's Open. In Tuesday's finals, Robin Romeo of Newhall, Calif., defeated Lucy Sandelin of Tampa, Fla., 225-188, to win the title.

Joining the Brands of Ebonite International as sponsors of the 2012 Bowling's U.S. Women's Open for the second year in a row include: Jani King, the official cleaning company of bowling; and Lipton Naturals, the official tea of the 2012 Bowling's U.S. Women's Open. Additional sponsors include: Brunswick Bowling & Billiards, the official lane provider of Bowling's U.S. Women's Open; Eldorado Resorts, Silver Legacy and Circus Circus Resort Casinos; Reno-Sparks Convention and Visitors Authority (RSCVA); Kegel; Dexter; Bowling Music Network; and Turbo Grips.

Walter Ray Williams Jr. Wins PBA Senior Northern California Classic For Second Title of the Season

PBA Hall of Famer Walter Ray Williams Jr. made a bid to become the favorite for 2012 Senior Player of the Year honors by winning the PBA Senior Northern California Classic presented by Track Wednesday at Harvest Park Bowl.

The seven-time PBA Player of the Year became the first two-time winner this season by defeating Hugh Miller of Seattle, 248-231, in the championship match.

“A lot of my matches today were closer than they looked,” said Williams, who was the 2010 PBA Senior Rookie of the Year. “It wasn’t all smooth sailing because I had a couple of matches that came down to the 10th frame. But I did what I had to do to win.”

Williams, who won the Senior Don Carter Memorial earlier this season, captured his fourth career Senior Tour title to go along with his PBA Tour career-leading 47 titles. He also improved on seventh and 17th-place finishes in his previous two Senior Northern California Classic appearances.

“The first game I bowled in match play was 194 and missed the pocket one time so I had to go to another ball to get a better reaction on the backend,” said Williams, who won a total of four matches Wednesday on his way to victory. “I had one open and don’t think I missed the pocket maybe two or three times all day. I’m just glad I didn’t waste all my strikes in qualifying.”

Miller was trying to become the seventh different winner of the season and was coming off a fifth-place finish in the Etonic PBA Senior U.S. Open and second-place finish in last week’s United States Bowling Congress Senior Masters.

In the semifinals, Williams defeated Mike Dias of Lafayette, Colo., 259-228 and Miller defeated Hall of Famer Wayne Webb of Columbus, 216-205, to advance to the title match.

The 2012 PBA Senior Tour season takes a six-week break before it resumes with the PBA Senior South Shore Open presented by DV8 at Olympia Lanes in Hammond, Ind., Aug. 6-9, and the season-ending PBA Senior Decatur Open presented by Brunswick Aug. 11-14 at Spare Time Lanes in Decatur, Ill.

安達裕久

くいだおれ太郎デカッピンを手に満面の笑顔

男子トッププロと全国から集められた強豪アマチュア選手が熱戦を繰り広げるROUND1CUP。

準決勝では特に若手が健闘を見せ、ラウンドロビン進出12名中5名が20代という若々しい顔ぶれが並びました。

なかでも今年5月のプロテストでトップ合格を果たし、今大会がレギュラーツアー初参戦となる現役高校生の森本健太は、初出場で初ラウンドロビン進出・初賞金と初尽くしの上、ファイナル進出まであと一歩という大活躍!将来が非常に楽しみになるデビュー戦となりました。

順位の変動が激しい混戦となったラウンドロビンを制したのは、三冠王・川添奨太3月のミックスダブルスでも優勝し上り調子の酒井武雄の、一時は11位まで落ち込みながらも這い上がってきた太田隆昌、やや順位を落としたものの踏み止まった小原照之と鈴木博喜。

ROUND1CUPならではの5名によるファイナルステージ、決勝ステップラダーは鈴木VS小原の5位決定戦からスタートしました。

ラウンドロビンで相性の悪かった鈴木を相手に、小原はストライクが続かず40ピン近い差をつけられて敗北。しかし鈴木も4位決定戦では中盤以降ストライクが切れ、ダブルを繋いだ太田に追いつけません。

酒井VS太田の3位決定戦は、酒井が3フレーム目から7連続ストライクに成功。一気に太田を突き放します。太田も後半5連続ストライクを決めて追い上げ ましたが時遅く、酒井が逃げ切って川添との優勝決定戦へと駒を進めます。


最終決戦を前に「打倒川添」、「打倒酒井」と語り合った、かたや優勝回数34回の永久シード、かたやプロデビューから伝説を生み続ける三冠王の天才二 人。滑り出しでダブルを決めた川添が酒井をリードする形でゲームが進みます。一転して右レーンにはまってしまい、苦戦する酒井がようやくターキーを決めた のは終盤9フレーム目から。対する川添は中盤でストライクが切れましたが9フレーム目からダブルに成功。酒井に追い打ちをかけて逃げ切り、自身8勝目を決 めました。

今回もはるばる福岡から家族を呼び寄せ、優勝をプレゼントした家族想いの川添、敬愛する父から課せられた「三年連続三冠王」に向けて大きな布石を打ちました!

Mike Edwards wins Senior Masters

Mike Edwards

Mike Edwards

Mike Edwards of Tulsa, Okla., made it through the double-elimination match-play bracket undefeated to win the 2012 United States Bowling Congress Senior Masters on Friday.

Edwards, competing in his second Senior PBA Tour event, won the title with a 701-691 victory over Hugh Miller of Mercer Island, Wash., at the South Point Bowling Center. The victory gave Edwards a payday of $16,000 as he finished on top of the field of 283 of the top bowlers age 50 and older in the world.

"This is validation to let me know that I'm legitimately back because I have had a rough year and a half," said Edwards, who won seven matches en route to the title. "My father died five months ago, and I really lost my passion for bowling. I hope that the Senior Tour will revitalize my career, especially now that I've won a major."

Edwards, who turned 50 in December, sat and watched as Miller finished the championship match. Needing all three strikes in the 10th frame to win by one pin, Miller struck on his first shot and then left a 6 pin. In the double-elimination format, even had Miller won the match, the two would have bowled a second championship match.

"Sitting on the bench to win has never happened to me," said Edwards, who has been a PBA member since 1981 and won his lone PBA Tour title in 1994. "It didn't hit me for a second, and I had to add up the score again real quick. I don't think it has sunk in yet."

Miller, a seven-time winner on the PBA Tour and two-time Senior PBA Tour winner, defeated USBC Hall of Famer Amleto Monacelli of Venezuela, 634-571 for the right to take on Edwards for the title. The loss gave Monacelli a third-place finish in his Senior Masters debut.

Two-time Senior Masters champion and 69-year-old Gary Dickinson of Edmond, Okla., fell short in his bid to become the first player to win the event three times. Dickinson lost to Monacelli, 771-538, to finish fourth.

Amleto Monacelli Wins Etonic PBA Senior U.S. Open to Become Senior Tour’s First International Champion

Amleto Monacelli

Amleto Monacelli

PBA Hall of Famer Amleto Monacelli of Venezuela, won the 2012 Etonic PBA Senior U.S. Open Friday to become the first international player to win a PBA Senior Tour title.

The 50-year-old Monacelli defeated fellow Hall of Famer Walter Ray Williams Jr., 255-247, in the championship match at the Suncoast Bowling Center in his Senior U.S. Open debut and the third tournament of his Senior Tour rookie season.

“I wanted to win the U.S. Open so badly on the national tour so that it is why I’m so happy to win the Senior U.S. Open,” said Monacelli, who had a national tour U.S. Open best finish of second in 1990. “It is so unbelievable to win against one of the greatest bowlers of all-time – I’m just very happy.”

Monacelli, a 19-time winner on the PBA Tour, withstood a challenge from Williams who could have won with two strikes in the 10th frame of the title match. Williams struck on the first ball but left a 10-pin on the second shot.

“I was bowling well but had a couple bad shots in the last game,” Monacelli said. “I threw a bad shot in the ninth frame and left the six pin and knew I gave a chance to Walter Ray. I was just lucky he didn’t get that second strike in the 10th frame.

For Williams, the PBA Tour’s all-time titles leader with 47 wins, it was a bittersweet result as he finished as runner-up for the second consecutive year. But Williams felt fortunate to be the top qualifier for the stepladder finals after nearly being eliminated from the tournament after the third qualifying round finishing in a tie for 45th just 35 pins above the cut.

“It’s a strange game,” said Williams, who was trying for his fourth career Senior Tour title, and second of the season. “I was able to hit the pocket but couldn’t strike in qualifying. I was able to claw myself back but I would have bet you a lot of money that I wouldn’t have made it to the finals.”

In the semifinal match, Monacelli defeated PBA Tour veteran Mike Edwards of Tulsa, bowling in his Senior Tour debut, 235-225, to advance to the title match.

“I came here hoping to win but there are so many great bowlers on the Senior Tour,” said Monacelli, who in 1997 was the first international player inducted into the PBA Hall of Fame and was recently inducted into the United States Bowling Congress Hall of Fame. “I’m very happy to be a pioneer for international players.”

In the opening stepladder match, Edwards defeated Hall of Famer Wayne Webb of Columbus, Ohio, who was trying to become the Senior U.S. Open’s first three-time winner, 268-244. Webb also finished fourth in the 2011 Senior U.S. Open.

The Senior Tour moves across town for the season’s second major, the USBC Senior Masters June 10-15 at the South Point Bowling Center in Las Vegas.
