Bill averaged 246.69 for the 5 games of qualifying and 8 games in

the finals. Bill was the high qualifier with 1201 but started the finals

slowly as a result of a few 7-10 splits for games of 193 and 188 which

put him in 8^th place after the first 2 games of the finals. In the final six games, Bill was on a mission bowling 278,248,275,278,268&278, averaging 270.83 for this stretch, vaulting him from 8^th place to the Title.

Former title winners, Jeff Macri and Mark Talmadge also bowled well finishing 2^nd and 3^rd respectively.

The tournament had some great scores and great matches. There were 20 entries and the cut score was 1082 to make the finals.

1^st Bill Green 2186 5^th Mark Zabowski* 1884

2^nd Jeff Macri 2046 6^th Dave Juzba 1749

3^rd Mark Talmadge 1999 7^th Chris Covington* 1746

4^th Rob Earnshaw* 1911 8^th Justin Godfrey 1711

* First time finalists

It was nice to see a couple of new young bowlers in the finals. I know there are a lot more out there. I would like to thank Jeff Bennett and his staff at AMF Airway lanes for all their help in making this year’s Masters Tournament a success.
