Annop Arromsaranon Wins PBA-WBT Busan Cup
BUSAN, Korea – Thailand’s
Annop Arromsaranon defeated
top qualifier Anthony Simonsen
of Austin, Texas, 221-208, to
win the PBA International-World
Bowling Tour Busan Cup on
bowling lanes constructed out-
doors in Pusan Gwangalli Beach
Park in Busan, becoming the
second bowler from Thailand to
win a PBA Tour title.
In the sweltering heat of the
outdoor setting, Simonsen left
splits he was unable to convert in
the fourth and fifth frames as the
33-year-old Thai opened a 44-
pin lead and raced away to victo-
ry despite leaving a “big four” 4-
6-7-10 split in the eighth frame.

Josie Barnes Wins at PWBA East Hartford Open
EAST HARTFORD, Conn. –
For a little more than a week,
Josie Barnes of Nashville,
Tennessee, reflected on a
missed opportunity she let slip
away during the first major
championship of the
Professional Women’s Bowling
Association Tour season.
Now, at least for the next few
days, Barnes will be thinking
about how sweet it is to be a
two-time PWBA Tour champi-
on.
Barnes, the No. 4 seed,
defeated top seed Danielle
McEwan of Stony Point, New
York, 224-216, to claim the
2018 PWBA East Hartford
Open title at Silver Lanes. In
all, she won three matches dur-
ing the stepladder finals to cap-
ture her first win since the 2016
season.
The stepladder finals were

The championship match was
exciting from the start, but it
was McEwan who took the
early lead after tossing strikes
in four of her first six frames.
Barnes, who opened the
match with a double, ran into
trouble in the sixth frame after
June 20 - 26, 2018
(US$27,875) first prize and
joined 2017 PBA-WBT Thailand
winner Jojoe Yannaphon as
Thailand’s second PBA Tour title
winner.
Simonsen, a 21-year-old two-
hander, had earned the top quali-
fying position for the four-man
stepladder finals with a six-
game, 1,480 total posted at
Rainbow Square Bowling
Center.
In the preliminary matches,
Korea’s Choi Seokbyeong
defeated countryman Choi
Wonyoung, 247-217, to start the
Busan Cup’s Open Division
finals. Arromsaranon then elimi-
nated Choi Seokbyeong in the
semifinal match, 215-203.
leaving a 4-7-10 split, which
left her trailing McEwan by 24
pins. The resilient Barnes fired
strikes in frames seven, eight
and nine, while McEwan traded
strikes and spares and had zero
open frames.
Barnes stepped up in the 10th
frame needing to double for the
chance to shutout McEwan but
was unable to get the second
strike, giving McEwan an
opportunity of her own to fill
26 pins and capture her second
title of the season. McEwan,
who won the 2018 PWBA
Fountain Valley Open, left a 2-
7-8 combination on her first
delivery to allow Barnes to
emerge victorious.
While her first title was one
she’ll never forget, this win
confirmed all her hard work,
struggles and close calls were
worth every ounce of energy.

"I don't even know how I feel
yet," said Barnes, who won the
2016 PWBA Rochester Open. "I
feel like I put myself in position
to be successful, but I gave
Danielle the opportunity to step
up and double to win it. When it
didn't happen, I kind of just lost
it. You know the first title
means everything, since you
work your tail off to achieve
your ultimate dream, but the
second one feels pretty cool. It's
validation for all that you've put
in.”
At the 2018 United States
Bowling Congress Queens, the
first major of the 2018 season,
Barnes missed a 10 pin in the
final frame of her three-game
match against three-time reign-
ing PWBA Player of the Year
Liz Johnson of Palatine,
Illinois, which would have
helped her advance to the next
round.
Johnson went on to throw
three strikes in her 10th frame
to defeat Barnes, 632-630, and
it served as the ultimate learn-
ing experience in helping
Barnes prepare for her next
event.
“You know when you give
someone like Liz Johnson a
chance, she's going to close the
deal," Barnes said. "I knew as
soon as I missed that single pin
that she was going to make it
happen, and I kicked myself for
an entire week because I don't
miss spares. That's not what I
do. Looking back, I just wasn't
present for that shot. I wasn't
overthinking it, I got ahead of
myself. This week, I told myself
When the going gets tough....
The tough get an ad in the
Sports Reporter
201.865.5353
June 20 - 26, 2018
that I would be present for every
shot and not let the same mis-
takes hurt me."
Barnes now has earned an
invitation to the PWBA Tour
Championship at Richmond
Raceway in September with her
victory. She last appeared at the
event in 2016 and looks forward
to returning to the pinnacle
event of the season.
"It's nice to earn it early on,"
Barnes said. "That's what we
fight for, whether you win it or
not. It kind of stunk not to be
there last year, so I've been
working really hard in the off-
season gearing towards that.
But the road doesn't stop. I'm
still going to continue to work
hard and take it one week at a
time."
Barnes advanced to the title
match by defeating Lindsay
Boomershine of Perry, Utah,
238-190. Boomershine was
looking for her first career
PWBA title.
In the opening match, Barnes
defeated the early front-runner
for PWBA Player of the Year,
Shannon O’Keefe of O’Fallon,
Illinois, 233-217. O’Keefe
already has two titles in 2018,
winning the PWBA Sonoma
County Open and USBC
Queens.
Competition at Silver Lanes
included two eight-game quali-
fying blocks on Friday to deter-
mine the 32 players for the
Round of 32. An additional
eight-game block narrowed the
field to 12 players, who bowled
six additional games to deter-
mine the stepladder finalists.

BOWLING’S U.S. OPEN HEADS TO NORTH CAROLINA IN 2019
ARLINGTON, Texas – The U.S. Open, a major event
and one of the toughest tests in the sport of bowling,
will take place at Victory Lanes in Mooresville,
North Carolina, in 2019.
The 2019 U.S. Open will run from Oct. 23-30, and
the stepladder finals will be televised on CBS Sports
Network.
A 40-lane center located just north of Charlotte,
North Carolina, Victory Lanes has been an annual
stop on the Professional Bowlers Association 50 Tour
for the last decade. It also has served as the host cen-
ter of several PBA regional events.
“We’re excited for the opportunity to host the best
bowlers in the world, and we appreciate the
Mooresville Convention and Visitors Bureau for its
help in bringing this event to Victory Lanes,” said
Paul Kreins, general manager of the center. “The U.S.
Open has provided so many great moments in bowl-
ing, and we expect another great event in 2019.”
The U.S. Open became a limited-field event in 2017.
Various criteria, such as leaders on the PBA Tour
money list, and top performers at United States
Bowling Congress and international events, is used to
determine bowlers who qualify for invitation.
Additional spots are awarded to past U.S. Open win-
ners, Team USA and Junior Team USA members,
PBA regional leaders and special tournament-man-
agement invitees.
The U.S. Open competition includes 24 games of
qualifying over three days to determine the 36 play-
ers to advance to the cashers’ round. After eight addi-
tional games, the field is cut to the top 24 players for
round-robin match play, and the five finalists for the
televised stepladder finals are determined by total
pinfall, including bonus pins, for 56 games.
The U.S. Open is a collaborative effort of the
Bowling Proprietors’ Association of America and
USBC. The 2018 U.S. Open will take place Oct. 24-
31 at Northrock Lanes in Wichita, Kansas.
