Richie Teece wins PBA Shark Championship for first PBA Tour title
RENO, Nev. – Liz Johnson of Palatine, Ill., became
the second woman in the 60-year history of the
Professional Bowlers Association to win a national
tour title when she defeated Anthony Pepe of
Elmhurst, N.Y., 220-206, in the title match of the
PBA Chameleon Championship presented by Reno
Tahoe at the National Bowling Stadium.
The Chameleon Championship, one of four PBA
animal pattern championships conducted during the

USA, Malaysia Win Team Titles at World Bowling Championships

LAS VEGAS - The Team USA men may have had an up-
and-down week at the 2017 World Bowling
Championships, but everything fell into place during the
team medal round, where they swept Chinese Taipei in the
best-of-three championship match, 2-0.
The Malaysia women also found their way to the top of
the medal stand with a 2-0 victory, defeating Singapore in
an all-Professional Women's Bowling Association final.
Team USA's meeting with Chinese Taipei at the South
Point Bowling Plaza marked the eighth consecutive time
the United States men were among the top two at the World
Championships, a streak that includes wins in 2006, 2008
and 2012 and back-to-back silver medals in 2013 and 2014.
This team gold medal was the sixth all-time for Team
USA and included wins of 210-189 and 200-180.
The winning effort included Tommy Jones, Chris Barnes,
Marshall Kent, all-events bronze medalist AJ Johnson,
Chris Via and Jakob Butturff. Via bowled in the semifinal,
and Butturff replaced him for the title match.
Jones, a 10-time Team USA member, has earned a reputa-
tion for throwing clutch shots, and that trend continued

Team USA Champions
Sunday, but he'll be the first to deflect the attention and give
credit to his teammates.
"It's hard to put into words right now," said Jones, who
teamed with Chris Barnes for the doubles gold medal earli-
er in the week. "We were fortunate to get out of the semifi-
nal watch with Colombia because we got a few more breaks
than they did, and at the right time. We bowled fairly well
as a team in the title match, everyone did their jobs and we
were fortunate to come out on top."
Team USA's semifinal win against top seed Colombia was
about as dramatic as a match can get, with the spot in the
final coming down to a roll-off, won by the United States,
47-46, after the two teams tied at 218 in the deciding game.
Jones could've sent the United States to the final outright,
but after striking to start the 10th frame, he left a 2 pin, giv-
ing Colombia anchor Andres Gomez a chance to strike out
for the win. Gomez calmly tossed a double, including a
Brooklyn strike on his second delivery, but his final shot
drifted high, leaving a 3 pin and forcing overtime.
Each player rolled one ball in the roll-off, and total pinfall
determined who advanced. Jones caved in the 4-6-7-10 on
his shot to send his team to the final.
Despite not throwing its first strike until the seventh frame
of the opening game, Colombia struck four consecutive
times and rolled to a 201-173 win. The flurry of strikes con-
tinued in Game 2, where four strikes to start gave Colombia
an early advantage.

Canada, Korea Winn Masters Titles
At World Bowling Championships
LAS VEGAS - If there was one pair of lanes in the
world Francois Lavoie of Canada would want in his
basement, it would be lanes 23 and 24 from the South
Point Bowling Plaza.
The 24-year-old right-hander conquered those lanes
again, this time winning the Masters gold medal at
the 2017 World Bowling Championships.
That is the same set of lanes where he became the
first bowler in history to roll a perfect game during
the televised finals of a U.S. Open (2016), and he
went on to win the coveted title and green jacket.
His most recent win at the Bowling Plaza was a 2-
0 victory against Xu Zhe-Jia of Chinese Taipei by
scores of 247-206 and 216-199.
The deciding game came down to the 10th frame,
with the two players separated by a single pin.
Lavoie left a 5 pin on his first delivery, converted
the spare and struck on the fill ball to force Xu to
strike for the win. Xu also could've gone nine-spare
and struck on his own fill ball to force a tie, but he left
the 4-6-7-10 split on his initial offering.
"I found out right before the match that I had some
history on that pair, but I didn't think about the U.S.
Open at all because that was an entirely different
event and different pattern," said Lavoie, who owns
three Professional Bowlers Association Tour titles. "I
was feeling pretty good from the matches before, and
I wanted to continue doing what I'd been doing
throughout the day today."
The win Monday was a special way for Lavoie and
his teammates to end a tournament in which they
bowled well, but came up just short of the medal
rounds a couple of times.
Lavoie had top-10 finishes in singles (10th), trios
(fifth), team (eighth) and all-events (sixth). In the
trios performance, with Mitch Hupe and Zachary
Wilkins, they missed the medal round by eight pins.
"This is big for Canada," Lavoie said. "We've been
close the entire week, it feels like. We've been close,
but never quite got the medal. Obviously, this is a
team effort. My teammates were here with me since
11 this morning, and they're very supportive. It's nice
to have them behind me, and it helps to not feel alone
out there."
Of course, it's hard to compare the various levels of
success Lavoie has experienced, from college bowl-
ing to the professional ranks to internationally while
wearing the Canadian colors.
"This is different, and definitely up there," Lavoie
said. "It's special to win for your country. We don't do
it for the money, we do it for the pride. It's a special
feeling. Hearing the national anthem is something I
want to do at least once more in my life, and I'm sure
every time it happens, I'm going to want to do it once
more."
Lavoie defeated Colombia's Andres Gomez, 2-0
(214-203, 221-200), to earn his spot in the final, and
Xu topped Thomas Larsen of Denmark, 2-0 (203-
180, 224-199), to advance.
Chinese Taipei found continued success this week
on the challenging 39-foot Beijing oil pattern using
the "spinner" release, which makes the lane condition
less of a factor and uses deflection as the primary
means of pin carry.
The Chinese Taipei players advanced to the medal
round in every event but doubles, earning silver
medals in singles, trios, team and Masters, along with
the all-events gold medal for Wu Hao-Ming, who
rolled the only perfect game of the tournament. The
300 came in his first game on the tournament lanes.
There was a bit of familiarity on the women's side
Monday as well, with Jung Dawun of Korea being
the defending Masters champion.
She earned the Masters gold medal at the 2015
World Women's Championships in Abu Dhabi,
United Arab Emirates, and she successfully defended
her title with a 2-0 win against Professional Women's
Bowling Association titlist Sin Li Jane of Malaysia.
In wins of 256-225 and 236-221, in the best-of-
three format, Jung struck 16 times and was in control
the entire match.
Jung, who won doubles earlier in the week with
Kim Moon Jeong, advanced to the gold-medal match
with a 2-0 (220-166, 233-214) win over Singapore's
Shayna Ng, while Sin earned her chance to bowl for
the gold by defeating Sharon Limansantoso of
Indonesia, 2-1 (216-169, 178-218, 223-163).
The 2017 World Championships officially came to
a close with the conclusion of the Masters event,
which included the top 24 men and top 24 women
from the all-events standings.
After 24 games of qualifying this week at the
Bowling Plaza, six games in singles, doubles, trios
and team, total pinfall determined the all-events
medalists (gold, silver and bronze), and the top 24 in
each division advanced to Monday's match play.
The top eight players from the all-events standings
received a one-round bye, while the best-of-three
match play got underway for the other 16 competi-
tors.
Each round, the highest remaining seed was
matched against the lowest remaining seed, and the
final four bowlers in each division advanced to the
semifinals. All four semifinal losers earned bronze
medals.
Although none of the Team USA players made a
run in the Masters event, head coach Rod Ross was
very satisfied with the team's performance during the
World Championships, which included gold medals
in men's doubles, women's trios, men's team and
women's all-events, along with a pair of bronze
medals in women's doubles and bronze in men's all-
events.

JOHNSON
Continued from Page 1
Johnson, a 25-time winner in
Professional Women’s Bowling
Association competition including
10 major titles and three consecu-
tive PWBA Player of the Year hon-
ors, was forced to bowl against
men when the former women’s pro
tour ceased operations in 2003.
Between 2004, when the PBA
opened its membership to women
for the first time, and 2015 when
the PWBA was resurrected,
Johnson won a PBA Regional title,
and became the first woman to
appear in a PBA national tour tele-
cast in the 2004 Banquet Open in
Wyoming, Mich., where she lost in
the title match to Tommy Jones,
219-192. She also finished fourth
in the 2014 PBA Cheetah
Championship.
Kelly Kulick of Union, N.J., was
the first woman to win a PBA Tour
title, winning the 2010 PBA
Tournament of Champions in Las
Vegas by defeating Chris Barnes of
Double Oak, Texas, in the title
match, 265-195.
“This is the cherry on top of my
career,” the 43-year-old Buffalo,
N.Y., area native said. “This win is
for all of the young girls in any
sport, not just bowling, who have
to compete against the guys. This
is for you.
“I never thought I’d have the
opportunity again,” Johnson said.
“You never know, bowling against
the guys. Conditions haven’t been
very conducive to my ‘A’ game the
past couple of years, but I felt pret-
ty confident coming into the show.
“I don’t think I’ve ever been
intimidated, in my entire life, or
scared of anyone on the lanes,” she
continued. “I grew up bowling
against the guys since I was 10 or
11. I’ve been beating them since I
was 17, so I didn’t feel like I had
anything to prove. I didn’t have
anything to lose, so I just went out
to do my best, and that’s all I can
ask of myself.”
Johnson advanced to the title
match by bowling the highest
score in a preliminary four-player
shootout match where the two
highest scores moved on. Johnson
December 26 - 31, 2017
had a 257 game and Pepe a 255
while Wes Malott of Pflugerville,
Texas (248) and Tom Smallwood
of Saginaw, Mich. (236), were
eliminated.
To reach the Chameleon
Championship telecast Johnson
out-bowled a WSOB IX field of
195 bowlers from around the
world.
In the second telecast of the
ESPN doubleheader, Teece won
the Shark Championship with a
193-176 victory over Charlie
Brown Jr. of Grandville, Mich., in
a battle of first-time PBA Tour tel-
evision finalists. Teece put the title
away with back-to-back strikes in
the ninth and 10 frames for his
only double of the contest.
Brown earned his berth in the
championship match with a 227 in
the preliminary shootout. Teece
was second with a 209, eliminat-
ing Tom Daugherty of Riverview,
Fla. (197) and Marshall Kent of
Yakima, Wash. (193).
“It’s incredible,” Teece said.
“It’s been a dream of mine ever
since I started watching old VHS
tapes of the PBA when I was 10
years old. I really, really give cred-
it to the guys who won, and now
I’ve joined that circle.”
Teece made his decision to
come to bowl in PBA competition
more by necessity than choice.
“I was a web developer for three
years after college, but the compa-
ny I worked for ran out of projects
for me. I was pretty sad about it,
but the money they gave me (as a
severance package) made me
think about it. Joining the PBA
was something I’d always
dreamed about. I was young and
three or four years later, here I
am.”
In winning his first PBA Tour
title, Teece joined the ranks of the
handful of players who have won
a PBA title in their first television
appearance. Canada’s Graham
Fach was the most recent to
accomplish that feat when he won
the 2016 Barbasol PBA Players
Championship.

TEAM USA Continued from Page 1

Team USA gained momentum with strikes in frames four through seven, and Jones
delivered three more in the 10th to even the match with a 237-230 win. Jones struck 14
times on the day.
Chinese Taipei, which found continued success this week on the challenging 39-foot
Beijing oil pattern using the "spinner" release, advanced to the final with a 2-1 (215-184,
158-279 and 235-156) win over Denmark.
The spinner style makes the lane condition less of a factor and uses deflection as the
primary means of pin carry.
Team USA's title-match streak began in 1999, and the win in 2006 ended a 35-year
drought for the United States men, who last had won team gold in 1971. The team's first
win came in 1963, and additional silver medals were earned in 1975, 1983, 1999 and
2003.
"It was just phenomenal watching the performance of the players how they dug all
week and fought and scraped today to get into the tiebreaker and then go on to win,"
Team USA head coach Rod Ross said. "We came here as a team, and it really was a total
team effort."
On the women's side, Malaysia swept Singapore with scores of 214-209 and 188-177.
Singapore held an advantage in both games but was unable to close things out.
In the opener, a 6-7-10 split from Singapore in the ninth frame gave control to
Malaysia, which stayed clean to take the 1-0 lead in the match.

In Game 2, splits in the eighth and 10th frames proved to be the undoing for Singapore.
Malaysia anchor Shalin Zulkifli left, and spared, the 3-6 combination in the final frame
to seal the deal.
Zulkifli was joined in the win by fellow PWBA members Siti Rahman, the all-events
silver medalist, Esther Cheah, Sin Li Jane, Syaidatul Hamidi and Natasha Roslan.
The win was the first for Malaysia at the World Championships since claiming the
women's singles title in 2011, and first team gold medal since the 2007 event in
Monterrey, Mexico. Cheah and Zulkifli also were members of that team.
"We really wanted a medal in the team event, and gold is a great bonus for us,"
Rahman said. "We are all very excited, and even people at home have been following
along and cheering for us. After coming up short in doubles (Sin and Zulkifli earned sil-
ver), we were disappointed, but that motivated us today. Also, after I got the silver in all-
events, I really wanted to be able to help the team get the gold today."
Malaysia is riding the momentum of a memorable year on the PWBA Tour, during
which Rahman became the first Malaysian to win a Tour title, and Sin added her name
to the list one event later.
Singapore's roster included sisters Cherie Tan and Daphne Tan, Shayna Ng, New Hui
Fen, Jazreel Tan and Joey Yeo. Cherie Tan and New both are PWBA champions, while
Jazreel Tan won an event before becoming a PWBA member.
The Singapore women were the team silver medalists at the 2011 event in Hong Kong
and earned bronze medals in 2009 and 2015. At the 2015 tournament in Abu Dhabi,
United Arab Emirates, Ng won all-events to become the first woman from Singapore to
win a gold medal at the World Championships.
On the way to the all-PWBA final, Malaysia and Singapore both escaped close match-
es against Colombia and Korea, respectively.
Malaysia lost its opening game to Colombia, 207-198, but rallied back with wins of
248-166 and 182-181, even with an open 10th frame in the finale.
Singapore also fell behind early in its match against Korea, and an eight-count on the
fill in the opening game gave Korea the chance to throw three strikes in the final frame
for a 203-202 win. Singapore took control from there, winning 218-215 and 213-209.
The end of team qualifying Saturday at the Bowling Plaza also determined the all-
events medalists (gold, silver and bronze), based on 24-game pinfall totals from singles,
doubles, trios and team. Each event was six games. Those medals were awarded Sunday,
too.
