In Xtra Frame Kenn-Feld Group Classic; Tackett Takes Storm Cup
Finishing 17th in
first round is good enough for Tackett to clinch PBA Xtra Frame Storm
Cup Crown
COLDWATER, Ohio (Aug. 26, 2017) – In a tournament that is putting a player’s ability to navigate demanding lane conditions to the test, Team USA member and one-time PBA regional winner Chris Via of Springfield, Ohio, seemed to have found the key to success averaging
221 to lead the first round of the PBA Xtra Frame Kenn-Feld Group
Classic, the final event of the 2017 PBA Xtra Frame Storm Cup series.
Reigning
PBA Player of the Year EJ Tackett of Huntington, Ind., who has led the
Storm Cup points race for most of the season, qualified 17th with 1,611
which was good enough to secure the Storm Cup title and the $20,000 in
bonus money that goes with the crown.
Dom
Barrett, Marshall Kent and Dick Allen, who were second through fourth
in the Storm Cup standings, were still in contention heading into the
tournament but all three failed to advance to Sunday’s cashers’ round
handing the crown to Tackett.
Tackett,
who is trying for his fourth PBA Tour win of the season, is hoping to
win the Kenn-Feld Group Classic for his first win in the
seven-tournament Storm Cup series.
Competing
on the Tournament of Champions lane condition at Pla-Mor Lanes, Via
bowled games of 221, 244, 277, 233, 223, 188, 177 and 208 for a 1,771
eight-game pinfall total to lead 32 players from the original 96-player
field into Sunday’s cashers’ round.
Via
finished 67 pins ahead of Joe Bailey of Wooster, Ohio, in second with
1,704 and Sean Rash of Montgomery, Ohio, who won last week’s Xtra Frame
Gene Carter’s Pro Shop Classic for his 12th career PBA Tour title, in
third with 1,691.
Rash, who ranks fifth in Storm Cup points, can move as high as second in the standings if he can win the tournament.
After
Sunday morning’s cashers’ round the field will be cut to the top 16
players for match play beginning at 12:30 p.m. EDT which will determine
the top four players for the stepladder finals at 3:30 p.m.
