LINCOLN, Neb. - After leading

to wire-to-wire in qualifying and

match play, Amanda Greene of Romney, West Virginia, held on

to win her first career title at the

2015 Professional Women's

Bowling Association Lincoln

Open and a $10,000 payday.

Greene watched as Shannon

Pluhowsky of Dayton, Ohio,

failed to double in the final frame

and locked up the title, 214-205,

at Sun Valley Lanes.

A former collegiate standout at

Lindenwood, Greene led from

the start of qualifying all the way

through match play to earn the

top seed for the stepladder finals.

"I don't even know what just

happened," said Greene. "I'mkind of in shock. I have worked

my whole life thinking about

winning a title, and I finally got the chance to and wanted

to take advantage of it."

Finishing the match first, Greene

had a chance to step up and throw a

double to win the title but instead leftthe bucket on her first shot in the

final frame. She converted the spare

and struck on her fill ball, which

forced Pluhowsky to get the first two

in the 10th to win. Pluhowsky threw

the ball through the face, leaving a

single pin to lose.

"I led the whole tournament and I

just wanted to seal the deal," Greene

said. "All I could think about while

watching Shannon was the bad shot

I threw in the 10th frame because it

was probably my worst shot of the

game."

Pluhowsky advanced to the cham-

pionship match by defeating Kelly

Kulick of Union, New Jersey, 226-207. Kulick won the opening match

of the four-player stepladder, 233-

214, over Erin McCarthy of Omaha, Nebraska.

FORT WAYNE, Ind. -- PBA50

Tour rookie Mike Scroggins of

Amarillo, Texas, won his third

PBA50 Tour title of the season and

PBA Hall of Famer Pete Weber of

St. Ann, Mo., clinched PBA50

Player of the Year honors in the

PBA50 DeHayes Insurance Group

Championship presented by Pro

Bowl West and Ebonite.Scroggins, who returned to PBA

competition in April after a year-

long absence because of a serious

foot ailment, defeated 10-time

PBA Tour winner and finals top

qualifier Bryan Goebel of

Shawnee, Kan., 278-221, in the

title match at Pro Bowl West to

become the season’s only three-

time winner.

With his three wins Scroggins

was the runaway winner for

PBA50 Rookie of the Year honors.

“I just wanted to be in the run-

ning for rookie of the year when

the season started,” Scroggins

said. “Winning one tournament

would have been icing on the

cake. I didn’t know what to expect

this season but to have the year I

had was much more than I expect-

ed.”

Scroggins, who qualified thirdfor the finals, defeated Ed Silva of

Manteca, Calif., in the second

stepladder match, 227-217, and

then beat Hall of Famer Walter

Ray Williams Jr. of Oxford, Fla.,

in the semifinal 248-212, to reach

the championship match against

Goebel.

In the finals Scroggins had to

use two different balls, one for

each lane, to attack the challeng-

ing finals lane condition.

“When I was practicing I was

surprised by the ball reaction on

the left lane so I had to use a dif-

ferent ball there,” Scroggins said.

“It’s something I’ve done before

because I prefer to make my

adjustments with my equipment

rather than moving left or right on

the lane.”

In the opening stepladder match,

Silva, making his first finalsappearance, defeated Hall of

Famer Parker Bohn III of Jackson,

N.J., 186-184. Bohn, who left a

pocket 7-10 split in the 10th frame

to lose the match, was also trying

for a third PBA50 Tour title this

season.

Weber’s seventh-place finish in

the tournament was enough to

secure PBA50 Player of the Year,

his first player of the year crown

of any kind during his more than

three-decade-long PBA Hall of

Fame career.

“It took me 35 years to do it but

I’ve got a player of the year title –

PBA Tour or PBA50 Tour I don’t

care – I’ll take it,” said Weber,

who owns 37 PBA Tour titles

including a record-tying 10 major

wins. “I didn’t have a lot of wins

this season, but I had a lot of top

finishes and did well in the majorswhich was good enough to

achieve another goal in my

career.”

Weber earned PBA50 Player of

the Year in large part because of

his performances in the Suncoast

Senior U.S. Open and USBC

Senior Masters, the season’s two

majors. He won the Senior U.S.

Open and finished second in the

Senior Masters. He had other top

finishes of second in the Treasure

Island Resort & Casino Open and

Johnny Petraglia BVL Open, and a

third-place finish in the PBA50

Miller High Life Classic.

Hall of Famer and four-time

PBA50 Player of the Year Tom

Baker of King, N.C., earned his

first PBA60 Player of the Year

award for players 60 and over.

The top eight players in compe-

tition points also earned berths inthe PBA Challenge Finals qualifi-

er which is part of the GEICO

World Series of Bowling VII this

December in Reno, Nev. The

qualifier will determine two final-

ists who will compete in the

PBA50 title match which will be

televised by ESPN. Advancing

will be Weber, Scroggins, Bohn,

Williams, Amleto Monacelli,

Brian LeClair, Jack Jurek and Bob

Learn Jr.
