LUBBOCK, Texas - Jazreel Tan

entered the 2015 Professional

Women's Bowling AssociationLubbock Sports Open hoping to

prove that she and her Team

Singapore teammates could com-

pete on the big stage of the PWBA,

and she did that with a dominating

performance at South Plains Lanes.

The 25-year-old right-hander led

the event through 12 games of

qualifying and 16 games of round-

robin match play over two long

days, and she topped Team USA

member Stefanie Johnson of Grand

Prairie, Texas, 257-246, to claim

the title and $10,000 top prize.

Tan lived nearly every bowler's dream by stepping up

in the final frame with a chance to lock up the win, and

she did so, first rolling a 10 pin and then delivering a powerful second strike to seal the victory.

"Things were moving quickly, so I wasn't totally sure

of the score, but I knew I needed to get maximum score

because Stefanie was striking and bowling well," said

Tan, a four-time first-team All-American at Wichita

State from 2009-2013. "Every frame was a big frame,

and I'm glad that 10 pin fell."

A 6-7 split in the seventh frame, which came after

four consecutive strikes, proved to be the undoing for

Johnson, who downed Team USA member Danielle

McEwan of Stony Point, New York (233-159) and

2011 United States Bowling

Congress Queens champion

Missy Parkin of Laguna Hills,

California (213-158) on the wayto the championship match.

Johnson earned $5,000 for the

runner-up effort, Parkin finished

third for the second consecutive

week and pocketed $3,500 and

McEwan earned $3,000 for her

fourth-place finish.

"Bowling in college in the

United States and sharing success

with fellow Wichita State players,

such as Tannya Roumimper, was a

big step forward for international

bowlers, but this being on a pro-

fessional level is another big

step," Tan said. "Hopefully, this will open the door for

more bowlers from Asia to be able to come here to

compete against the best. It's a long and expensive tripfor most, but I hope this helps others see the opportu-

nities."

In the event, four of the five bowlers from Singapore

were among the 16 players who made match play, and

the fifth finished 17th. From here, the quintet will

head to Wichita, Kansas, for the PWBA Wichita Open,

before heading home.

The Lubbock Sports Open featured a near-capacity

field of 74 competitors, with 16 advancing to match

play and 32 taking home prize checks. All rounds

were broadcast live on Xtra Frame.

By Matt Cannizzaro - USBC

EL PASO, Texas - Ryan Zagar of Kenosha, Wisconsin, put together an unforgettable run

during his United States Bowling Congress Open Championships debut in 2015 and jump-

started that performance by pacing the field in Open Singles at the Bowlers JournalChampionships presented by USBC.

The 21-year-old right-hander claimed the top prize of $10,000 with games of 266, 243

and 247 for a 766 series at the El Paso Convention Center, which included needing a dou-

ble in the final frame to surpass the 757 set posted by runner-up Sean Corbett of San

Antonio. Corbett earned $7,000 for his performance.

Zagar, a former Junior Team USA member, also competed in doubles during the same set

to become eligible for the Dual Entry prize list. He earned an additional $1,000 for topping

the Dual Entry standings.

"It's exciting, and the student loans are going to be a little better off, too," said Zagar, a

collegiate standout at Robert Morris-Illinois who helped the Eagles capture the men's title

at the 2013 XBowling Intercollegiate Team Championships. "It was a blessing in disguise

how I even ended up at the tournament this year. It's a great group of guys, and they are

very supportive. We fed off each other the entire time out there, and the fact this was the

first set off the plane makes it even better. It was the start of an incredible trip."

The momentum from Zagar's performance at the Bowlers Journal Championships also

translated to success at the USBC Open Championships as he nearly took home an eagle inhis first appearance.

He made a run at the Regular Singles lead before settling into second place with a 787

series. His overall performance left him in seventh place in Regular All-Events (2,104), and

he helped High Five Gear of Wichita, Kansas, into eighth place in Regular Team (3,214)

and 10th in Team All-Events (9,628).

Two-time Open Championships titlist Bo Goergen of Sanford, Michigan, added two more

trophies to his mantle after winning Senior Singles at the 2015 Bowlers Journal

Championships and teaming with Jerome Penxa Jr. of Romeo, Michigan, for the Senior

Doubles crown.

Goergen claimed the singles title

and $4,000 with games of 231, 247

and 258 for a 736 series and was

entered in doubles with Penxa dur-

ing the same set. Penxa added a

621 series for a 1,357 total. The

doubles win earned the pair $2,000.

"It means a lot, and it's an accom-

plishment I'm very proud of," said

Goergen, who won the 2009

Regular Singles title at the Open

Championships with a record scoreof 862 and returned the next year to

help his team to the Team All-

Events win. "I'm probably more

excited for Jerry than I am myself,

already having the opportunity to

win two eagles at the Open. To be

able to share this with someone that

hadn't quite experienced something

at this level is exciting."

Les Shirwindt of Las Vegas and

Marcia Solberg of Webster, South

Dakota, also took home singles

titles at the 2015 Bowlers Journal,

worth $2,000 and $1,000, respec-

tively.

Shirwindt, a 2011 Team All-

Events champion at the OpenChampionships, earned the top

spot in the Super Senior Singles

standings with a 721 effort, while

Solberg finished with a 707 series

to capture the 199 & Under

Handicap Singles title.

Jonathan Wilbur of North

Clarendon, Vermont, and Todd

Lathrop of Colchester,

Connecticut, took home the Open

Doubles title and $7,500 with a

1,419 total, and David Armstrong

of Naperville, Illinois, and Susan

Schlink of Chicago won Handicap

Doubles, worth $1,200, with 1,276.

A total of 27 bowlers claimed ashare of the 30 Clean Jackpot at the

Bowlers Journal Championships in

2015, worth $585.63 apiece. Three

bowlers hit the Strike-It-Rich

Jackpot, worth $5,270.67 each, and

former Junior Team USA member

Chris Bardol of Brockport, New

York, fired a 300 game to win the

High Game Jackpot and $15,812

prize.

For the third consecutive year,

the Bowlers Journal was held under

the same roof as the Open

Championships and featured the

same lane condition used during

doubles and singles at the Open

Championships.Both events will return to the

National Bowling Stadium in

Reno, Nevada, in 2016.
