US Open Bowling is a bag of surprises
« on: February 15, 2005, 04:50:05 PM »
You can never tell who are really good in all types of competitions. Bowling is a physical and mental sports that you need to be ready at all times. Diandra Asbaty is good but in this type of competition her mental state is not with her.

86, (TIE) Melissa Lyncker, New Orleans, and
Walter Schaub II, Schaumburg, Ill., and
Dave D'Entremont, Middleburg Heights, Ohio, and
Tore Torgersen, Norway, 1,204.

220, (TIE) David O'Sullivan, Yonkers, N.Y., and
Bryson Rogers, Durham, N.C., and
Diandra Asbaty, Chicago, 1,117.


325, (TIE) Timothy Foy Jr., Salisbury, Md., and

After Round 2:

Asbaty had moved to 116th and both her and Kelly Kulick were within about 10 pins of the 1/4 cut line.

Melissa Lyncker had some struggles and dropped to 161st place, approximately 60 pins off the 1/4 cut line.

CDB made up some ground, but still has to shoot lights out today to jump more than 100 spots...

It should also be noted that the cut line is about 150 pins back of the 24th spot.  So, while there is a good chance of three women hitting the top quarter and bowling another 9 games, they all have their work cut out to make the top-24.

Now we have the ones with the mental toughness coming up strong and that is what this competition is all about. Let's see how Cathy Dorin does today.

I was there all day yesterday and all I can say is if you averaged 190 on that condition, you bowled real well. From observing and talking to some of the guys, you had to hit target, breakpoint and come out of it clean on EVERY shot, and then hope to carry. Toughest condition I have seen without actually bowling on it. Shafer, Angelo, and Barnes seemed to have the best look of the guys I watched. They seemed to have some push in the mid-lane w/ a little more recovery near 10 than the rest. Just good matchup I suppose. Duke seemed to make the most from nothing all day. Over the gutter cap, throwing REALLY hard with an open hand release. A couple of breaks could have moved him up a number of spots. Voss was deeper than I can remember ever seeing him. Sliding near 2 board on opposite lane, air mailing gutter cap, out to around 12-13 and couldn't carry. Amazing.Bohn couldn't carry anyhting all day, but it seemed none of the lefties could. Real shame Weber couldn't be here. I think he could have been right up there. 1 local guy to look out for is Mike Reasoner. He was really throwing it good. Hit a couple of pairs that were a bit "bumpy"(LOL). He can make some real noise if he can stay matched up. Check him out if you are there. Lots of talent. I hope to bowl next year (if my back allows), just to experience that condition. Call me a masochist, but it looked like a lot of fun, a lot more fun than adult bumper bowling, thats for sure.

If you blame the lane conditions for your bad scores, then you had better thank them for your good ones!!

I'm glad to see my boy Timmy Foy giving it a run.  FYI he's a 17 year old Two Handed bowler with an awesome approach.  At least he can come home saying he out averaged alot of professionals.

Unfortunately, that is only the ranking for the squad, not overall.

Also Michelle Feldman is showing how gutsy she is. Squad A

47, Michelle Feldman, Skaneateles, N.Y., 3,067

This year's Open is up for grabs. It is going to be to the last frame thrown.

I known that this just some of the squads but is nice to see how they are doing and who's not
