The demanding Senior U.S. Open lane conditions and format were well-suited for Williams who bowled two 300 games, the only perfect games of the tournament.

“If I could design a tournament for the way I bowl, this would be it so I had a lot of confidence,” said Williams who earned $15,000 for the win. “I like a longer format and I don’t mind playing different areas of the lane.”

Williams, who finished third in last year's Senior U.S. Open, also owns seven Lumber Liquidators PBA Tour titles including the 1985 and 1988 PBA Tournament of Champions.

WEBB TAKES SENIOR MASTERS TITLE

Wayne Webb of Grove City, Ohio, went undefeated in seven matches as he rolled to the title Friday at the 2010 United States Bowling Congress Senior Masters.

Webb defeated reigning Professional Bowlers Association Player of the Year Walter Ray Williams Jr. of Ocala, Fla., 705-628, in the title match at the South Point Hotel and Casino Bowling Center. He took home $16,000 for the victory.

"I'm feeling great," said Webb, who had games of 216, 289 and 200 against Williams. "I knew I had to bowl really good to beat Walter and fortunately for me, when I hit the pocket, I was striking. So that helps."

The win gave Webb his third career Senior PBA Tour major title, having also won the Senior U.S. Open in 2008 and 2009. He also won the PBA Senior Columbus Open in April.

"This means everything to me, just like winning the Senior U.S. Open," said Webb, who also has 20 PBA national titles to his credit. "I hadn't won the U.S. Open on the national tour, but I'd come in second. I never won the Masters, but I had finished fourth. Now I've won all the majors on the Senior Tour, and it feels great."

For Williams, the loss to Webb was the end of a long string of victories. Williams started the double-elimination match-play bracket with a first-round loss to Hugh Miller, but bounced back to win 10 consecutive matches in the losers bracket. Williams reached the championship match by defeating top qualifier Peter Knopp of Bremen, Germany, 696-539.
