LAS VEGAS - In a championship match battle

between two players from Texas, Mike Fagan of Fort

Worth, prevailed to win the Professional BowlersAssociation World Championship at the South Point

Bowling Plaza for his fifth PBA Tour title.

Fagan, who qualified second for the stepladder finals,

defeated top qualifier Wes Malott from the Austin

suburb of Pflugerville, 252-212, in the title match to

also record his second major title after winning the

United States Bowling Congress Masters in 2012.

“The majors are where you can separate yourself

from everyone else,” said Fagan, who is originally

from Long Island, New York. “These opportunities

don’t come around too often so you always have to

consider yourself fortunate to be in a position to win

and the take advantage of the opportunity you

worked so hard for.

“Making it into the (PBA) Hall of Fame is one of

my goals,” he continued. “I’ve thought about my

place in the sport and while winning my second major is another step in getting there, it’s a big step for sure.”

In the title match, Fagan and Malott traded strikes in

the first four frames but then a turning point came

when Malott, trying for his 10th Tour title, left the 2-

10 split in the fifth which he failed to convert. Fagan

had a moment of his own when he left an 8-10 split in

the eighth frame but was able to finish strong and hold

off Malott for the win.“As much as you try to relax it’s still very stressful,”

Fagan said. “I was concentrating so hard I didn’t

know what frame I was in or what the score was. I just

wanted to make good shots.”

186-182 to snare the crown. Sigona

was sharp throughout the tourna-

ment, averaging 193 as she forged

her way to the championship match

where she met highly regarded two

time Greater Middlesex Conference

Brunswick senior. Not to be denied,

Lilly held off Amy’s charge and took

home the title, 200-191.

Malott, who was also trying for his second major after winning the U.S.

Open in 2013, admitted to having problems figuring out the left lane in the

second half of the game.

“The left lane transitioned a lot for me and I made a move that I was con-

fident in making but I missed my break point,” said Malott, who also fin-

ished second in the 2009 World Championship. “Of all the things that

could go wrong, that’s something I didn’t think I would do.”

In the semifinal match, Fagan defeated No. 5 qualifier Stuart Williams

of England, 219-206, to advance to the championship match.

Williams, who was trying to win his second Tour title and become the

second consecutive player from England to win the World Championship

(Dom Barrett was the first winning last year’s World Championship),

opened the stepladder by defeating No. 4 qualifier Todd Book of Russells

Point, Ohio, who was trying for his first Tour title, 236-211. Williams then

went on to defeat Ronnie Russell of Marion, Indiana, who was trying for

his third title, in the second match, 259-248, to advance to the semifinal.

As the third major and final tournament of the season, the WorldChampionship (formerly called the PBA National Championship from

1960-2001), has distinguished itself as one of the premier showcases for

the world’s best bowling talent. In addition to the $50,000 first prize,

Fagan took home the Earl Anthony Trophy named after the late PBA Hall

of Famer who holds the record for most World Championship wins with

six.

Malott earned $25,000 for second, Williams, $15,000 for third, Russell,

$12,000 for fourth and Book $10,000 for fifth.

The five finalists advanced to the finals after preliminary qualifying and

match play rounds conducted during the GEICO PBA World Series of

Bowling last October at the South Point. The finalists competed in a total

of 52 games on five different lane conditions to reach the finals.

By Vince Albrecht

MONTVALE, NJ - Seemingly

undaunted after a third game ninth

frame open, young Montvale

anchor Matt Russell went out the

door with a triple, leaving the 14-

year-old with his best ever Stan

Niemiec Youth Travel League set-

215-279-233-727. Blitzing the

defenseless pins with reckless

abandon, the session’s Bowler of

the Week lit a fire underneath his

even younger teammates as 11-year-old Joseph “Hammer”

Mahoney and 12-year-old Chris

Torres responded with 223-589

and 203-566 respectively.

Though being swept, Bowler

City III didn’t go quietly, pushing

Montvale to elevate its game to

take the high-scoring match with

closing scores of 1041-985 and

1035-992. Pounding the pin deck

for BC III was the dynamic duo

from Bergenfield H.S., junior Nick

Reyes with a triple deuce 206-215-

222-643 and senior Greg Khan

with 235-222; chipping in with

203-202 was Cliffside Park fresh-man Gianni Calzadilla 203-202.

In a thrilling position encounter

struggle, pace-setting Bowler City

I managed to win five of seven

points from feisty Lodi, 2969-

2904, escaping with a nine-pin

third game triumph, 967-958. BC I

employed its heavy hitters and the

super trio didn’t disappoint, pul-

verizing the plastic-coats with a

composite nine game 2010 pinfall

or an average of 223+, led by

James Kane 267-235-681, Kyle

Schellberg 222-224-225-671 and
