Slow Start Doesn’t Stop Parker Bohn III From Taking
PBA50 Dave Small’s Championship Lanes Classic First Round Lead
ANDERSON, Ind. (July 30, 2017) – Overcoming a slow start and going through four bowling balls in the first two games, Parker Bohn III of Jackson, N.J., averaged 234.8 Sunday to lead the first round of the PBA50 Dave Small’s Championship Lanes Classic presented by Roto Grip.
Starting with games of 179 and 186, the 54-year-old PBA Hall of Famer bounced back with games of 257, 215, 268, 279, 217 and 278 to lead the field of 112 players 50 and older with a 1,879 eight-game pinfall total.
“It wasn’t looking good there for a while,” said Bohn. “After finally getting the right ball in my hand, then I had to work on pin carry because I was leaving a lot of corner pins.
“Pocket control is everything,” Bohn added. “Once I had the right ball, I made a hand position change and a speed adjustment and the results speak for themselves.”
Bohn, a 35-time PBA Tour titlist and three-time winner on the PBA50 Tour, has two top-five finishes this season which include second in the PBA50 Players Championship and third in the UnitedHealthcare Sun Bowl In the Villages.
“You just have to keep trying and hopefully everything comes together,” Bohn said. “I’ve started the job, now I just have to finish it.”
Bohn holds a 104-pin lead over three-time PBA50 Tour titlist Bob Learn Jr. of Erie, Pa., in second, who finished the round with 1,775. Learn finished second to Ron Mohr of Las Vegas in last week’s PBA50 South Shore Open. PBA Hall of Famer Doug Kent of Newark, N.Y., is in third with 1,764.
Defending champion PBA Hall of Famer Brian Voss of Centennial, Colo., finished the first round in fourth with a 1,752 pinfall and Brian LeClair of Delmar, N.Y., the season’s only two-time winner, finished fifth with 1,738.
After Monday’s second round, the top 24 players will advance to Tuesday’s match play rounds with eight additional players advancing to match play after a cashers round Tuesday morning. After match play, the top five players will advance to the stepladder finals at 7 p.m. EDT.
