Jack Jurek Averages 233 to Earn Top Qualifier Honors
In PBA50 Dave Small’s Championship Lanes Classic
ANDERSON, Ind.
– Two-time PBA Tour titlist Jack Jurek of Lackawanna, N.Y., looks back
on a 30-year career as a professional bowler as a little bit of a mixed
bag, but has found his four seasons as a PBA50 Tour player especially
rewarding.
The
53-year-old Jurek, who is trying for his third win on the tour for
players 50 years of age and older, emerged as the qualifying leader of
the PBA50 Dave Small’s Championship Lanes Classic presented by Roto Grip
Tuesday with a 3,728 16-game pinfall total (233 average).
“When
I came out on the PBA Tour as a rookie in 1986 there were some
expectations for me after college that I probably didn’t live up to,”
said Jurek, who was the 1984 QubicaAMF World Cup men’s champion and a
standout at West Texas State. “Now that I’m out here on the PBA50 Tour I
think I’ve made up for some of those missed opportunities on the young
guy’s tour.
“It
makes me feel better to know that I’ve had a pretty satisfying PBA50
career especially when you see the great players that are bowling out
here right now. With two wins and two runner-up finishes among some of
the other top finishes I’ve had, it’s been pretty satisfying so far.”
In
Tuesday’s second round, Jurek had games of 201, 224, 269, 198, 257,
278, 240 and 207 after bowling a 1,854 eight-game block in the first
round but thought working on improving his timing might give him even
better results.
“Today
I bowled a pretty solid round and yesterday I probably scored better
than I should have,” said Jurek, whose best finish this season is second
in the PBA50 Mooresville Classic. “Today, I went from a four-step to a
five-step delivery to improve my timing, improved my execution and I was
able to catch a good run.”
Finishing
second 54 pins behind Jurek was two-time PBA50 Player of the Year Ron
Mohr with 3,674, followed by Hall of Famers Brian Voss, 3,669; Parker
Bohn III, 3,651, and Tom Baker, 3,633. PBA50 Treasure Island Resort
& Casino World Championship presented by Storm winner Hall of Famer
Norm Duke finished the day in sixth with 3,632.
