MOHR DOMINATE QUALIFYING


Mohr Averages 251 to Dominate
UnitedHealthcare Sun Bowl In The Villages Qualifying
Two-time PBA50 Player of the Year leads 32 players who advanced to match play

THE VILLAGES, Fla. – Two-time PBA50 Player of the Year Ron Mohr of Las Vegas, averaged 251 to dominate qualifying and lead 32 players who advanced to match play for the UnitedHealthcare Sun Bowl In The Villages presented by Radical at Spanish Springs Lanes.

After a 2,056 eight-game pinfall in Sunday’s first round, Mohr followed it up with 1,961 after Monday’s second round for a 4,017 16-game overall pinfall. He bowled games of 259, 218, 269, 237, 278, 268, 237 and 195 in the second round.

“When the round started I was having to play the lanes quite a bit deeper than I anticipated but the key is to read the lanes and react,” Mohr said. “I expected a three or four board difference from yesterday but it turned out to be eight to 10. It wasn’t a problem because I was able to make the right adjustments and I was able throw the same ball as I did yesterday for the whole round.”

Mohr, an eight-time PBA50 Tour winner, is hoping to end a nearly four-year drought without a PBA50 Tour win. His last win came in the 2012 Senior Decatur Open.

He’s also looking forward to bouncing back from his 39th-place finish in last week’s season opening Pasco County Florida Open.

“I spent some time working on some fundamental things before coming here and I think it’s made a lot of difference,” Mohr said. “I just need to continue to focus on the things I can control and trust that the results will come.”

Mohr holds the PBA50 eight and 16-game qualifying records of 2,160 and 4,243, respectively, which were set in the 2010 HP Lanes Senior Open.        

Reigning PBA50 Player of the Year Hall of Famer Pete Weber of St. Ann, Mo., qualified second with 3,946. He had games of 245, 258, 222, 258, 264, 248, 216 and 279 in his second round.

“I do well here,” said Weber, who finished fourth in the Pasco County Florida Open. “I’ve made the finals here the last two out of three years and I’ve got a good start in qualifying so I’m where I need to be at this point.”

Rounding out the top five after the second round were Brian Cooper, Henderson, Nev., 3,893; Kevin Foley, Reno, Nev., 3,885, and Hall of Famer Amleto Monacelli of Venezuela, 3,883.

Pasco County Florida Open winner Walter Ray Williams Jr. of Oxford, Fla., finished the day in sixth with 3,811 and defending champion Mike Scroggins of Amarillo, Texas, finished tied for seventh with 3,777.

Match play begins Tuesday at 9 a.m. ET. At the conclusion of match play the top five players will advance to the stepladder finals scheduled for 7 p.m.
