Always Room For Improvement Says PBA50 Mooresville Open
First Round Leader Norm Duke
MOORESVILLE, N.C. - (April 30, 2018) – What PBA Hall of Famer Norm Duke learned from his recent second-place finish in the PBA50 National Championship presented by Spanish Springs Lanes and Radical, was that there’s always work to be done.
Even as the leader after the first round of qualifying in the PBA50 Mooresville Open presented by Columbia 300 with a 1,945 eight-game pinfall total Monday, that lesson was reinforced when the Mooresville Open defending champion lost to Lennie Boresch Jr. Saturday in the title match, 198-192, after entering the stepladder finals as top qualifier.
“You’re only as good as your last game and my last game was 192 before this tournament,” Duke said. “So, what that tells me is I need to work harder to get better. And, if bowling 192 in a title match doesn’t tell you that you need to get better, I don’t know what will.”
Duke, a 38-time PBA Tour and four-time PBA50 Tour titlist, averaged 243 in the Mooresville Open first round bowling games of 258, 269, 229, 217, 234, 256, 259 and 223 at George Pappas’ Victory Lanes.
“I’m pleased with the round but it’s a new tournament,” Duke continued. “Even as well as I bowled I can see things that I still need to work on. If you’re serious about competing to your capabilities, it’s always going to be an ongoing process to get better.”
Duke won the 2017 PBA50 Race City Open at George Pappas’ Victory Lanes with a 221-213 win in the title match against top qualifier Kenny Parks of Hammond, Ind.
Finishing the first round 70 pins behind Duke in second was PBA Hall of Famer and 2017 PBA50 Miller Lite Players Championship winner Bryan Goebel of Shawnee, Kan., with 1,875.
Rounding out the top five were PBA50 National Championship fourth-place finisher Hall of Famer Parker Bohn III, Jackson, N.J., 1,865; Tony Rodriguez Jr., Rancho Cucamonga, Calif., 1,851 and PBA Hall of Famer Amleto Monacelli of Venezuela, 1,839.
Coming off his PBA50 National Championship win, Boresch finished the round in ninth with 1,810.
The entire field returns for another eight-game qualifying round Tuesday which begins at 9 a.m. ET. Wednesday’s cashers and match play rounds will begin at 8:30 a.m. After match play the top five players will be determined for the stepladder finals at 7 p.m.
