PBA WORLD SERIES OF
BOWLING RECAP: DAY FOUR

MR. CONSISTENT BILL O'NEILL SURGES INTO PBA WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP LEAD
The PBA World Series of Bowling is a combination of a series of sprints in the middle of a marathon. While players are trying to finish in the top 16 in each of the five daily 12-game qualifying rounds on five different PBA lane conditioning patterns, the real race is to finish high in the standings after 60 games for the 2010 PBA World Championship, the Lumber Liquidators PBA Tour's first major championship of the 2010-11 season.

Reigning U.S. Open champion Bill O'Neill of Southampton, Pa., has demonstrated he isn't the most talented sprinter, but he's doing great in the marathon. O'Neill hasn't won a stage yet, but he has been the most consistent player in the field of 252, advancing to next week's match play finals in the all four animal pattern championships completed thus far: 15th in the Cheetah round, eighth on the Viper pattern, seventh on the Chameleon (where he is defending champion) and 13th in the Scorpion round. That performance has landed him in the lead for the PBA World Championship after 48 of 60 games.
