PRO BOWLING: Angelo 9th at PBA tournament
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Lockport professional bowler Brad Angelo has secured a position in today’s elite top 16 “Eliminator Rounds” at the Professional Bowlers Association’s Etonic Don Johnson Eliminator.
Angelo dropped just two places, from seventh to ninth, in Friday’s qualifying round at the Sequoia Pro Bowl.
Sean Rash of Wichita, Kan., charged out of sixth place to earn the top seeding position, averaging 229.5 over 28 qualifying games including a 300 game.
Rash, a four-time PBA Tour winner who hasn’t won a title since 2007, topped the field of 30 with a total of 6,426 pins, holding off Tommy Jones of Simpsonville, S.C., for the top qualifying position by 14 pins.
Angelo has a pin total of 6,207. He and the other surviving field of 16 players will be seeded into groups of four for today’s Eliminator Rounds.
In each of three Eliminator rounds, the bowler with the lowest three-game, total pinfall score will be eliminated, and the winner of each group will advance to Sunday’s live ESPN finals starting at 12:30 p.m.
In Sunday’s finals, the player with the lowest game bowled each round will be eliminated until the champion is decided.
