PBA 50
Continued from Page 1
“In the ninth frame I moved one board left and that was the right
move,” Williams added, after being down as much as 28 pins in the
match. “You’ve got to bowl well and get the breaks to win. I was able to
finish strong and caught a break when Danny left the 10 pin in the 10th
frame.”
The win also marked the second time this season that Williams
advanced all the way from the cashers round to reach the finals. He won
the season-opening PBA50 Johnny Petraglia BVL Open by advancing
from the cashers round.
“Even though I’m bowling pretty well, I’ve been a little frustrated in
qualifying,” Williams admitted. “In general, it seems like I’m not getting
good pin carry until I get to match play for whatever reason.”
Williams, who won the 2010 Senior Miller High Life Classic at
Victory Lanes for his first PBA50 Tour title, was especially fortunate to
advance to match play earlier bowling a 256 in the final game of the
cashers round to earn a spot in the first match play round.
“All I can say is it’s crazy,” Williams said about his journey to the
Mooresville Open title. “I didn’t expect to win the first three titles of the
season, but it feels awesome.”
Williams’ second win of the season came in the PBA50 National
Championship for his third career major title.
The stepladder final, streamed live on FloBowling, began with No. 5
qualifier hall of famer Parker Bohn III of Jackson, New Jersey beating
No. 4 qualifier Todd Kjell of Roscoe, Illinois, 196-181.
Bohn, trying for his fifth PBA50 Tour title, then beat No. 3 qualifier
Scott Greiner of Sunrise Beach, Missouri, 258-229, to advance to the
semifinal match against Wiseman.
Wiseman, who finished 10th in the PBA50 National Championship,
then beat Bohn 258-223 to advance to the title match against Williams.
Greiner and Kjell were both trying for their first PBA50 Tour titles.

2020 USBC MASTERS SET FOR GRAND SIERRA RESORT IN RENO, NEVADA
ARLINGTON, Texas – The Grand Sierra Resort Bowling Center in Reno, Nevada, will host the 2020 United
States Bowling Congress Masters, a major event on the Professional Bowlers Association (PBA) Tour.
The 2020 Masters will kick off March 23 and the stepladder finals on Sunday, March 29, will be televised
live on FS1 as part of the PBA’s television package with FOX Sports.
“We’re looking forward to hosting the best bowlers in the world at the USBC Masters,” Grand Sierra Resort
SVP Hotel Operations Kent Vaughan said. “We’ve made a significant investment in the bowling center and
we’re excited to showcase it to the bowlers, fans and a national television audience. We know it will be a great
event.”
Reno also will be the host city for the 2020 USBC Open Championships. The event, which will be held at the
National Bowling Stadium, will get underway March 21 and run through July 5.
Jakob Butturff of Tempe, Arizona, captured his first career major championship at the 2019 USBC Masters,
held at the Gold Coast Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. The tournament welcomed 450 competitors, selling out
for the seventh consecutive year.
At the 2020 Masters, competitors will bowl 15 games of qualifying over three days (five games each day) and
total pinfall will determine the 63 players who will join Butturff, the defending champion, in the double-elim-
ination match-play bracket.
Match play consists of three-game total-pinfall matches to determine the five players for the championship
stepladder.
The Masters last visited Reno in 2011, and Tom Hess of Urbandale, Iowa, claimed the title for the first vic-
tory of his PBA Tour career at the National Bowling Stadium.
