Duke Averages 261 to Lead
PBA50 South Shore Open First Round
HAMMOND, Ind. (July 25, 2017) – PBA Hall of Famer Norm Duke of Clermont, Fla., made it look easy by averaging 261 for eight games Tuesday to dominate first round qualifying in the PBA50 South Shore Open presented by DV8 at Olympia Lanes.
Duke, who is trying for his second win of the season on the tour for players 50 and older, bowled games of 237, 279, 279, 246, 265, 268, 289 and 225 for a 2,088 pinfall total falling 72 pins short of the eight-game round record of 2,160 set by Ron Mohr in the 2010 Senior Columbus (Ohio) Open.
“When 225 is your bad game you can’t complain about that,” said the 53-year-old Duke, who won the Race City Open in Mooresville, N.C. in May for his fourth PBA50 Tour title. “That was a monster block for me. It would be asking a lot to repeat one like that but I’ll try – I always do.”
Duke credited a change to a less aggressive ball after the fourth game for being able to maintain his high-scoring pace.
“I was fortunate that I was able to anticipate a change in my ball reaction,” Duke said. “Sometimes you wait too long and get that subpar game before you realize you need to do something different. I could see a little wiggle that I didn’t like as my ball was going down the lane at the end of the fourth game so that was a sign that maybe it was time for a change.”
Finishing the round 85 pins behind Duke in second was defending champion and fellow hall of famer Pete Weber of St. Ann, Mo., who averaged 250 for the round with a 2,003 pinfall. The two-time defending PBA50 Player of the Year, who has yet to win this season, had games of 197, 245, 257, 300, 243, 214, 268 and 279.
In 2016 Weber won the South Shore Open to finish the season with a record six PBA50 Tour titles.
Rounding out the top five after the first round were three-time PBA50 Tour winner Bob Learn Jr. of Erie, Pa., 1,966; Paul McCordic, Sugar Land, Texas, 1,902, and USBC Hall of Famer Lennie Boresch Jr., Kenosha, Wis., 1,884.
After Wednesday’s second round the top 24 players will advance to Thursday’s match play rounds with eight players advancing to match play after a casher’s round Thursday morning. After match play, the top five players will advance to the stepladder finals at 7 p.m. CDT.
