Flaws Wins PBA Senior Miller Lite
Knockout Classic for First Senior Tour Title

Bob Flaws of Chicago Ridge, Ill., out-lasted fellow Chicagoland regional competitor Mickey Higham of Wood Dale, Ill., to win his first Professional Bowlers Association Senior Tour title in the PBA Senior Miller Lite Knockout Classic, presented by the Illinois State Bowling Proprietors Association, at Town and Country Lanes recently..

Flaws, a five-time PBA Senior regional titlist, won a sluggish title match, 181-169, after he and Higham eliminated two long-time PBA Tour stars to set up the title match between would-be Senior Tour titlists. Flaws out-struck PBA Hall of Famer and two-time Senior U.S. Open champion Wayne Webb of Sacramento, Calif., 243-228, while Higham rolled past seven-time PBA Tour champion, 245-202, in the semifinal round.

The PBA Senior Tour's next stop is the Senior Dick Weber Open at Royal Scot Golf and Bowl in Lansing, Mich., Aug. 22-26.
