New York’s Glenn Smith Leads
PBA50 Johnny Petraglia BVL Open After first Round
FARMINDALE, N.Y. (May 6, 2018) – Glenn Smith, a 57-year-old engineer for a retail design company, bowled a 1,928 eight-game pinfall total to take the first round lead in the PBA50 Johnny Petraglia BVL Open presented by Brunswick Sunday at Farmingdale Lanes.
Averaging 241, the New York City resident bowled games of 242, 280, 198, 277, 246, 209, 253 and 223 to hold a 46-pin lead over Christopher Keane of Cape Coral, Fla., in second with 1,882.
“I was able to bowl outside around the first arrow and that’s my “A” game,” said Smith, whose best PBA50 Tour finish was 14th in last year’s Johnny Petraglia BVL Open. “I made the right ball choices and just kept my focus on letting the ball do the work.”
Smith has had success in qualifying rounds in previous PBA50 Tour events but hasn’t been able to carry the momentum into the match play rounds.
“I just need to get better and not get ahead of myself,” Smith added. “I’ve been working pretty hard on how I can be more consistent and make the necessary adjustments you need to make from qualifying to match play. I keep showing up to the dance hoping I can put a whole tournament together.”
Rounding out the top five in the fourth PBA50 Tour tournament of the season were John Burkett, Southlake, Texas, 1,878; PBA Hall of Famer Parker Bohn III, Jackson, N.J., 1,876, and James Knoblauch, Waukesha, Wis., 1,873.
Defending champion and 2017 PBA50 Player of the Year Brian LeClair of Albany, N.Y., finished the day in a tie for 34th with 1,675.
The 71-year-old Petraglia, who has won 14 PBA Tour and eight PBA50 Tour titles in his more than five decades of PBA competition, finished 62nd with 1,576.
Competition continues Monday with another eight-game qualifying round beginning at 1 p.m. ET. Cashers’ and match play rounds get underway Tuesday at 8:30 a.m., which will determine the five players for the stepladder finals at 7 p.m. Fans can catch all the action live on PBA’s online bowling channel Xtra Frame.
