Walter Ray Williams Jr. Leads PBA50 Northern California Classic
PBA Hall of Famer is on a quest for fourth 2019 title, record 15th in PBA Tour competition
BRENTWOOD, Calif. (May 26, 2019) – PBA Hall of Famer Walter Ray Williams Jr. continued his torrid 2019 pace, racing into the first-round lead in the PBA50 Northern California Classic presented by MOTIV Sunday at Harvest Park Bowl in his quest for his fourth PBA50 title of the year and sole possession of the all-time PBA50 Tour titles lead.
Williams, who bowled much of his career as a resident of nearby Stockton, California, averaged a blistering 243.63 for his first eight-game round that included games of 195, 237, 237, 300, 238, 226, 237 and 279. With a 1,949 pinfall total, the Oxford, Florida resident barely held off fellow PBA Hall of Famer Bryan Goebel of Shawnee, Kansas, who had 1,938 pins. Bob Rosenau of Redding, California, was in third place with 1,936 followed by Norm Duke of Clermont, Florida, with a 1,932 total and Tony Rodriguez Jr. of Rancho Cucamonga, California, with 1,896 pins. Defending champion Ron Mohr of Las Vegas was in 23rd place after the first eight games with a 1,786 total.
Williams, 59, won the first three tournaments of the year to boost his career total of 14 PBA Tour titles, tying him with John Handegard for the “senior tour” titles record. He also holds the PBA Tour titles record with 47 and has won a combined total of 115 titles at all levels of PBA competition.
The entire field returns for another eight-game qualifying round Monday which begins at 8 a.m. PT. Wednesday’s cashers and match play rounds will also begin at 8 a.m. After match play the top five players will be determined for the stepladder finals at 6:30 p.m. The fifth stop of the 2019 PBA50 Tour season continues with a second round of qualifying on Monday. Cashers and match play rounds then begin at 8 a.m. on Tuesday which will determine the top five players for the stepladder finals at 6:30 p.m.
