Barnes Wins PBA World Series
of Bowling Lumber Leaders Title
Chris Barnes of Double Oak, Texas, captured the Professional Bowlers Association’s World Series of Bowling Lumber Leaders special event recently at Thunderbowl Lanes, averaging 221.93 over 103 qualifying games in seven World Series events to claim the winner-take-all $10,000 prize.
“I had a kind of disappointing finish,” the 12-time Lumber Liquidators PBA Tour titlist said. “I was 180 over (pins above a 200 average) after four games. I was thinking about finishing in the top eight to get a bye for the match play rounds, and I shoot 170.
“I just don’t allow myself to be happy.”
A 229 final game was enough to allow Barnes to finish with 22,859 pins and coast to the title over challengers Wes Malott of Pflugerville, Texas, who finished second with a 22,692 total, 167 behind Barnes. Sean Rash of Wichita, Kan., was third with 22,602 pins.
“The Lumber Leaders bonus, and being in the top eight to get byes in each event, has been my focus since early in the World Series,” Barnes said. “Winning the Lumber Leader event is a big deal. It’s like making it to another TV show.”
