Brian Voss Puts Experience to Good Use to
Take First Round Lead in PBA50 Race City Open
MOORESVILLE, N.C. – Relying
on his experience and some additional practice seemed to be the right
formula for PBA Hall of Famer Brian Voss of Centennial, Colo., after
taking the first round lead in the PBA50 Race City Open presented by
Columbia 300 Monday at George Pappas’ Victory Lanes.
Voss,
a 25-time PBA Tour and one-time PBA50 Tour winner, topped the
136-player field with a 1,899 eight-game pinfall total (237.3 average)
to edge out Brian Kretzer of Dayton, Ohio, in second by one pin. Voss
bowled games of 219, 236, 259, 218, 279, 215, 236 and 237.
After
bowling on and off on the PBA50 Tour for seven seasons, Voss won his
first PBA50 Tour title in the Dave Small’s Championship Lanes Classic in
2016.
“I’m
older but wiser,” said the 58-year-old Voss, who had a more than two
decade career on the PBA Tour. “I’ve never stopped learning but I just
wish I could apply all that experience when I need it.
“I’ve
been practicing quite a bit more which is helping,” he continued. “I
had been practicing four or five times a week. The only difference is
I’m practicing four or five games each time as opposed to 20 or 30 when I
was bowling on the regular tour.”
Defending
champion Pete Weber of St. Ann, Mo., finished the round in third with a
1,852 pinfall followed by fellow Hall of Famer Walter Ray Williams Jr.
of Oxford, Fla., in fourth with 1,846. Williams, the PBA Tour’s all-time
titles leader with 47 wins, and Weber, who has 37 wins which ranks
fourth all-time, are tied with 10 career PBA50 Tour titles.
Weber,
the 2016 and 2015 PBA50 Player of the Year, won the Mooresville Open
last year for the second of a record four consecutive PBA50 Tour wins.
Weber
is also trying for his 100th career title in PBA competition, which
includes PBA Tour, PBA50 Tour, PBA regional and PBA50 regional titles.
He is two behind Williams who reached the century mark by winning a
regional in December 2016 and a PBA50 regional in March for his 101st
title.
Five-time
PBA Tour winner Michael Haugen Jr. of Phoenix, who is bowling in his
rookie season on the PBA50 Tour, finished the round in fifth with a
1,838 pinfall.
After
Tuesday’s second round the top 24 players will advance directly into
Wednesday’s match play rounds with an additional eight players advancing
to match play after a cashers round Wednesday morning.
