PBA50 Tour Begins Western Swing with
Northern California Classic in Brentwood May 27-30
BRENTWOOD, Calif. (May 24, 2018)-- After a three-week break, the PBA50 Tour heads west for the PBA50 Northern California Classic presented by MOTIV May 27-30 at Harvest Park Bowl in Brentwood, Calif.
As the PBA50 Tour makes its western swing for 2018, recent PBA50 Johnny Petraglia BVL Open winner and 2017 PBA50 Rookie of the Year Michael Haugen Jr. holds the early season points lead over PBA Hall of Famer Walter Ray Williams Jr. and 2018 PBA50 National Championship winner Lennie Boresch Jr.
The fifth stop of the season will be covered live from start to finish on PBA’s online bowling channel Xtra Frame beginning May 28. For Xtra Frame subscription and complete schedule information visit www.xtraframe.tv.
In last year’s Northern California Classic, PBA Hall of Famer Amleto Monacelli won all four stepladder matches and eventually beat Hugh Miller of Mercer Island, Wash., 229-198, in the title match for his eighth career PBA50 Tour title. Monacelli also won the Northern California Classic in 2015.
In the second match of last year’s finals, Monacelli defeated Chris Warren, 296-280, to set a new PBA50 record for highest scoring match in a PBA50 Tour championship final round.
Other Hall of Famers competing in Brentwood will be four-time PBA50 Tour winner Parker Bohn III and 2018 inductee Ron Mohr, who is a two-time PBA50 Player of the Year and the winner of nine PBA50 Tour titles.
