THE VILLAGES, Fla. 锟?Professional Bowlers Association Hall of Famer Pete Weber of St. Ann, Mo., the 2015 PBA50 Player of the Year, began work defending that crown by winning the PBA50 UnitedHealthcare Sun Bowl In The Villages presented by Radical Tuesday at Spanish Springs Lanes.
Weber won his fifth career PBA50 Tour title by defeating two-time PBA50 Player of the Year and tournament top qualifier Ron Mohr of Las Vegas, 204-162, in the title match.
锟絀锟絭e always bowled well here,锟?said Weber. 锟絀锟絭e made the finals here three out of the last four years and was hoping it would just be a matter of time to get a win.锟?
Weber, a winner of 37 titles, including a record-tying 10 majors on the PBA Tour, was helped by three open frames by Mohr, who missed two 10 pins and a four pin. Mohr, an eight-time PBA50 Tour titlist, was trying to end a nearly four-year drought without a win, with his last coming in the 2012 Senior Decatur Open.
锟絀 feel bad for Ron but he锟絪 the type of guy that will bounce back no doubt about that,锟?Weber said. 锟絎e锟絭e all been there. Sometimes when you miss an easy spare, that frustration can make things worse. We were both having trouble that game锟絀 could barely get a double.锟?
The win solidified a good start to the season for Weber who finished fourth in last week锟絪 season-opening Pasco County Florida Open.
锟絀锟絤 feeling good physically and my game is in a good shape so I锟絤 looking forward to another good season,锟?Weber added.
In the semifinal, Weber beat PBA50 Tour newcomer Joel Carlson of Omaha, Neb., 268-223, to advance to the championship match.
In the opening stepladder match, Carlson beat four-time PBA50 Player of the Year and 12-time PBA50 Tour winner Tom Baker of King, N.C., 224-213, and then went on to beat 2015 PBA50 Rookie of the Year Mike Scroggins of Amarillo, Texas, 268-217, to advance to the semifinal.
PBA Hall of Famer Amleto Monacelli bowled three 300 games which tied the record for most 300s in a PBA50 Tour tournament with four other bowlers 锟?Mohr, Bob Kelly, Joe Scarborough and Walter Ray Williams Jr.
The PBA50 Tour锟絪 third stop of the season will be George Pappas Victory Lanes in Mooresville, N.C. for the Mooresville Ford Open presented by Columbia 300 and Miller High Life May 1-4.
