Newest Titlist BJ Moore Leads PBA Gene Carter’s Pro Shop Classic Qualifying
Three days after winning his first PBA Tour title, Moore takes aim at back-to-back victories

MIDDLETOWN, Del. (Aug. 17, 2019) – Three days after winning his first Go Bowling! Professional Bowlers Association Tour title, BJ Moore of Greensburg, Pennsylvania averaged 242.43 Saturday to lead the field of 150 competitors after qualifying in the PBA Gene Carter’s Pro Shop Classic at Mid-County Bowling and Entertainment Center.

Moore, a 30-year-old seventh-year PBA Tour veteran, rolled games of 225, 229, 298, 267, 215, 259 and 204 for a seven-game total of 1,697 pins for a 72-pin lead over AJ Johnson of Oswego, Illinois, and an 86-pin lead over third-place Zacharay Wilkins, a two-handed player from Canada. Moore won the PBA Wilmington Open Wednesday in North Carolina. Johnson and Wilkins are both trying for their first PBA Tour title.

The Gene Carter’s Pro Shop Classic is the fifth of 10 events that are part of the FloBowling PBA Summer Tour.

Heading into Sunday’s final day of action at Mid-County Bowling and Entertainment Center, Denmark’s Thomas Larsen was in fourth place with 1,609 pins – two behind Wilkins – and Tom Daugherty of Riverview, Florida, was fifth, two pins behind Larsen.

The Delaware tournament’s Sunday schedule begins with the four-game cashers round for the top 50 qualifiers at 9 a.m. The top 12 after 11 games will bowl a 12-game head-to-head match play round at 12:30 p.m. leading into the four-player stepladder finals at 5 p.m. All times are Eastern.
