McEwan
Continued from Page 1
“I’ve been in that moment so many times in the past and haven’t come
through,” said McEwan, an eight-time Team USA member. “I’ve spent
many, many hours talking with my coaches and ball reps trying to fig-
ure out what caused it and how I could do better the next time in that sit-
uation. I just tried to build on all I’ve learned.”
Roumimper, who earned the top seed by defeating McEwan in the
position round at Texas Star Lanes, rolled two of her best shots when she
needed them and knows she has what it takes to put herself in position
to win.
“I was just so numb on that shot because I was so focused inside my
own bubble,” said Roumimper, who finished fourth last month at the
United States Bowling Congress Queens. “I tried to just be happy and
smile and control what I could control because my heart (was pound-
ing). There was so much going on in my mind, and I needed to get it all
out.
“She threw two really good shots in the 10th, so she deserved it. I just
need to believe that everything happens for a reason, and my day will
come. It will. I just need to keep believing in that and one day, it will be
mine.”
McEwan’s 229-225 semifinal win against Shannon O’Keefe of Shiloh,
Illinois, shared the same excitement as the title tilt, with McEwan rolling
three strikes in the final frame to advance.
O’Keefe, who was looking for her first win at the U.S. Women’s Open
after a pair of runner-up finishes, finished the semifinal with two strikes
in the 10th frame, which forced McEwan to fill 27 pins to move to the
title match.
O’Keefe won her first match, defeating defending U.S. Women’s Open
champion Liz Kuhlkin of Schenectady, New York, 233-192.
Kuhlkin, who defeated Shannon Sellens of Long Beach, New York, in
the opening match of the stepladder, 213-183, was looking to become
the fourth player to successfully defend a title at the event and 12th
bowler to win the tournament multiple times.
All competitors bowled 24 qualifying games over three days to deter-
mine the 36 players advancing to a cashers’ round. After eight addition-
al games, the field was cut to the top 24 bowlers for round-robin match
play.
The five finalists were determined by total pinfall, including bonus
pins, for 56 games.
Each round of the 2019 U.S. Women’s Open leading up to the steplad-
der finals was broadcast live at BowlTV.com.

Bowling’s Olympic Hopes Dashed Again

A Japan Times headline asserting that the Paris 2024
organizing committee has given baseball “the cold
shoulder” echoes the sentiments of those in the bowl-
ing world today as the sport again has failed to gain
inclusion in the Olympics.
The organizing committee for the Paris 2024 Summer
Olympic Games has announced that breakdancing,
surfing, skateboarding and sport climbing will be the
four sports they will recommend to the International
Olympic Committee for inclusion in the 2024 Games.
Bowling is not being listed among other sports that
were finalists; instead, those sports reportedly includ-
ed baseball, squash and karate. The Paris 2024 com-
mittee's recommendations now are pending approval
by the IOC.
Breakdancing had been among sports included in the
Youth Olympic Games in Buenos Aires in October.
Deadspin reported that it is “quite popular in France.
B-boys from France have won the Red Bull BC One,
one of the premier annual 1-vs.-1 battles, three
times.”
Surfing, skateboarding and sport climbing all previ-
ously were accepted by the IOC for inclusion in the
Tokyo 2020 Games.

2019 Bowlers Journal Championships Comes to a Close in Las Vegas
By Matt Cannizzaro - USBC
LAS VEGAS - When AJ Rice of
Columbus, Georgia, entered the 2019
Bowlers Journal Championships pre-
sented by the United States Bowling
Congress in late March, he was using it
as a makeshift practice session for the
upcoming USBC Masters, which was
held nearby.
As it turns out, it was the best practice
session of his career.
After shooting a near-triplicate 835 AJ Rice
series at the South Point Bowling Center
with games of 278, 278 and 279, Rice had to wait 103 days to
find out if his set at the 2019 Bowlers Journal Championships
was enough to earn him this year's Open Singles title and $10,000
top prize, which it was.
The event kicked off during the first week of March and lasted
for more than 120 days. Singles and doubles champions have
been determined in a variety of age- and average-based cate-
gories.
The 2019 event in Las Vegas marks the 73rd time the Bowlers
Journal Championships has been held in conjunction with the
USBC Open Championships. This year's Open Championships
was held at the South Point Bowling Plaza, a short walk from the
South Point Bowling Center.
Rice's 835 came just a day after Packy Hanrahan of Wichita,
Kansas, set the bar in Open Singles with an 813 series. They own
the first two of six 800s rolled this year at the Bowlers Journal.
Ironically, Rice's success was due in part to a conversation he
had with Hanrahan about the equipment he used during his own
three games. Hanrahan said he used urethane equipment to bowl
so well, so Rice decided on a similar strategy.
Both bowlers utilize the two-handed style and attack the lanes
from the left side. Hanrahan finished third in Open Singles.
In addition to the first-place prize money, the 27-year-old Rice
will receive an additional $1,000 for topping the Dual Entry
standings, as well. The special no-cost feature at the Bowlers
Journal Championships includes all competitors who choose to
use their three-game totals for singles and doubles at the same
time.
"This has always been a dream of mine," Rice said. "The goal
when I come to the Open Championships is to win an Eagle or
an event at the Bowlers Journal. This is one of the most presti-
gious events a bowler can compete in, and this is definitely near
the top of my list of accomplishments."
Despite shooting a sizeable score, Rice wasn't comfortable with
his number, knowing the amount of time that was left in the event
and how many good bowlers still were headed to Las Vegas.
"Because I threw urethane, there was only one guy I was wor-
ried about, and that was Jakob Butturff," Rice said. "Luckily for
me, his 857 series was in doubles only. We're pretty good friends,
and I've definitely talked trash to him about it."
Butturff combined games of 300, 278 and 279 for an 857 series,
which came just days after shooting 827, a set that placed him
second in Open Singles.
Satisfied with his score and place, the 25-year-old left-hander
did not enter singles prior to shooting the 857 and only was
entered in doubles with Brandon Pierce of Huntsville, Missouri.
SPORTS REPORTER
The two combined for 1,414, landing them just
outside the top 10 in the Open Doubles standings.
Rice wasn't done striking after his first big set
either, and he returned a few days later to shoot
300 and 803, while competing with Cory Misura
of Clearwater, Florida, in Open Doubles. Misura
rolled a 666 series, giving the pair a 1,469 total,
good for the lead at the time. They finished this
year's event in fourth place.
The Open Doubles title at the 2019 Bowlers
USBC photo Journal Championships went to Justin Neiman of
Macomb, Michigan, and Mykel Holliman of
Collierville, Tennessee, with a 1,492 total.
Neiman is one of three bowlers to find continued success at
South Point, having captured the Open Doubles title in 2017, the
event's last visit to the South Point Bowling Center.
On the way to the win this time, the duo took the lead in mid-
May, a month after Holliman completed a runner-up finish at the
2019 Masters - to Butturff.
Though they attack the pins from opposite sides of the lane,
Neiman and Holliman worked together throughout their three
games of doubles. Holliman led the effort with games of 247, 244
and 267 for a 758 series, and Neiman added scores of 256, 258
and 220 for a 734 set.
Neiman has been extremely comfortable at the South Point
Bowling Center, where he teamed with Craig Nidiffer of New
Boston, Michigan, to win the 2017 title with a 1,601 perform-
ance.
"I don't know what it is about that building, but I just seem to
match up really well," said Neiman, a 33-year-old right-hander.
"Even though Mykel and I are on opposite sides of the lane, we
worked off of each other really well."
It was Nidiffer who suggested the two bowl together, and the
decision to do it was a last-second one.
"I didn't really know Justin all that well, but a good friend of
mine from Michigan suggested we bowl together," Holliman
said. "We decided just as the lanes came on for practice that we
would get in doubles together."
The pair will share the $8,000 top prize, and Holliman's 758 set
was good enough for eighth place in the Dual Entry standings.
Robert Brown of Cody, Wyoming, joined Neiman for a return
trip to the winner's circle at the Bowlers Journal Championships
by claiming the 2019 Senior Doubles title with John Huber of
Marshfield, Missouri.
Brown and Huber combined to shoot 1,359. Individually, they
were separated from one another by just five pins, led by Brown,
who rolled games of 201, 235 and 246 for a 682 series. Huber
added 264, 188 and 225 for a 677 set.
Brown, a 59-year-old right-hander, captured the 2017 Senior
Doubles title with Billy Langford of Lone Grove, Oklahoma.
Huber's 2019 visit was the first of his career. The two will share
the $2,500 first place prize.
"I was kind of concerned when we got done, even with a week
left, because I thought our number was beatable," Brown said.
"There are a lot of great bowlers in Las Vegas, and I thought some
of them could show up in the final week and take us down.
Thankfully, they didn't."
Helping Huber find success in his debut made the experience
even more special for Brown.

"Obviously, I'm
thrilled with win-
ning this for a sec-
ond time, but I'm
equally as excited
for John, with this
being his first time
here," Brown said.
"We are already
looking forward to
Reno next year."

of Warren,
Michigan, fired off

one of the nine per-
Mykel Holliman and Justin Neiman
fect games rolled
at this year's Bowlers Journal Championships on his way to the
Senior Singles title.
After missing the cut at the 2019 USBC Senior Masters at the
Sam's Town Bowling Center, Calvin made the drive across town
to the South Point Bowling Center, hoping to end his week on a
high note.
He followed the perfect effort with games of 246 and 202 for a
748 series, propelling him to the top of the Senior Singles leader-
board.
In addition to the Senior Singles lead, Calvin helped himself
into the top 10 in Senior Doubles. He and Jeff Suma Sr. of
Clarkston, Michigan, finished tied for fourth place with a 1,344
total. Calvin will receive $3,000 for the singles win.
Additional winners at the 2019 Bowlers Journal
Championships include Pete McCordic of Katy, Texas, in Super
Senior Singles with a 717 series, and Mark Long of Gaylord,
Michigan, in the 175 & Under Handicap Singles with a 678 set.
McCordic also has enjoyed past success at South Point, having
picked up the Senior Singles title there in 2017 with an 812 series.
The top prize in 175 & Under Handicap Singles is $3,000,
while the Super Senior Singles award is $2,000.
The Handicap Doubles title went to Jody Bueng of Ada,
Minnesota, and Lynn Christianson of Twin Valley, Minnesota,
who combined to shoot 1,259. They will share the $2,500 top
prize. The two also were members of the team that won the 2019
Classified Team title at the Open Championships.
Along with the singles and doubles events at the 2019 Bowlers
Journal Championships, bowlers had the opportunity to take
home extra prize money by entering three different jackpots -
Clean Frame Jackpot, High Game Jackpot and Strike-It-Rich
Jackpot. Each features a prize-fund style payout.
A total of 28 different bowlers were able to stay clean through
three games to claim a portion of the Clean Frame Jackpot.
Six bowlers who rolled perfect games at this year's tournament
were entered in the High Game Jackpot, including Butturff,
Calvin, Daniel Deno of Owensboro, Kentucky; Tim Pfeifer of
Oakdale, Pennsylvania; Ryan Powers of Omaha, Nebraska; and
Andrew Suscreba of Clifton, New Jersey.
Seven competitors were able to deliver strikes in each of the
designated nine frames to share the top payout in the Strike-It-
Rich Jackpot.
