Consistent Second Round Enables LeClair
to Top Qualifying for PBA50 Spectrum Lanes Open
LeClair leads 32 players into match play as he tries for third win of the season
WYOMING, Mich. (July 27, 2019) – With recent back-to-back wins in the PBA50 River City Extreme and South Shore Opens, Brian LeClair continues his late-season surge after averaging 238 to take top qualifier honors for the PBA50 Spectrum Lanes Open presented by DV8 Saturday.
LeClair, who finished tied for fourth after the first round with an 1,843 pinfall total for eight games, bowled 1,964 in the second round Saturday to finish with a 3,807 16-game overall pinfall to lead 32 players into match play. He bowled games of 278, 257, 235, 227, 263, 222, 224 and 258 in the second round.
“I think the key so far is that I’m able to play my “A” game here,” said the 2017 PBA50 Player of the Year, who finished 22nd in last week’s PBA50 David Small’s Championship Lanes Classic. “Last week it was kind of frustrating because I couldn’t get the ball to do what I wanted and I didn’t have the ability to fix the problem. This week I’m able to stand left and throw the ball out to the right and it comes back strong which is where I’m most effective.”
Walter Ray Williams Jr. closed his second round with a 268 game to finish qualifying in second with a 3,751 pinfall for 16 games.
With three consecutive PBA50 Tour wins to start the season and no finishes worse than ninth including a runner-up finish in last week’s David Small’s Championship Lanes Classic, the PBA Hall of Famer has put together a dominant season. His work isn’t done however, as he still needs to finish 15th to clinch his third PBA50 Player of the Year honor. Williams also will be trying for a PBA50 Tour record 15th career win.
Sunday’s six-game match play rounds are scheduled for 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. ET after which the top five players will be determined for the stepladder finals at 7 p.m.
Trying for his second consecutive win of the season, PBA Hall of Famer and David Small’s Championship Lanes Classic winner Ron Mohr was able to continue his momentum finishing qualifying in third with 3,688.
Rounding out the top five were Bo Goergen of Sanford, Michigan with 3,664, and Warren Eales of Chandler, Arizona with 3,653.
