2017 PBA50 Tour Western Swing Begins With
Northern California Classic May 28-31
BRENTWOOD, Calif. --
After a one-week break, the PBA50 Tour heads west for the PBA50
Northern California Classic presented by MOTIV May 28-31 at Harvest Park
Bowl in Brentwood, Calif.
The sixth stop of the season will be covered live from start to finish on PBA’s online bowling channel Xtra Frame.
As
the PBA50 Tour season reaches the halfway mark, Brian LeClair of
Delmar, N.Y., tops the PBA50 Player of the Year race with the help of
his two wins which came in the Pasco County Florida Open and Johnny
Petraglia BVL Open. He is the season’s only multiple winner.
LeClair
holds a commanding lead over last week’s PBA50 Miller Lite Players
Championship winner Bryan Goebel of Shawnee, Kan., in second. Goebel,
who was inducted into the PBA Hall of Fame in February of this year, won
his first PBA50 Tour title in the season’s first major by defeating
Parker Bohn III, 264-230, in the title match.
In
last season’s Northern California Classic, Noel Vazquez of Sacramento,
Calif., won his first PBA50 Tour title by beating reigning PBA50 Player
of the Year Pete Weber, 255-224, in the title match.
Following
the Northern California Classic, the PBA50 Tour heads to Las Vegas for
the USBC Super Senior Classic (for players 60 and over) June 1-4; USBC
Senior Masters, June 4-11, both at Sam’s Town, and the Suncoast Senior
U.S. Open presented by Storm at the Suncoast Bowling Center June 11-16.
In
addition to Player of the Year honors, the players who compete on PBA’s
tour for players 50 and over are battling to become one of the top
eight players from the points list to advance to the PBA50 segment of
the PBA Challenge which will be held in conjunction with the GEICO PBA
World Series of Bowling IX set for Nov. 7-19 in Reno, Nev.
Northern
California Classic competition begins with the first of two eight-game
