Joey Weisenstein 802 at Majestic LAS VEGAS, Nev. – Yong-Jin Gu, a slightly- built 48-year-old left-hander, had never bowled in a Professional Bowlers Association event before the World Series of Bowling, but he pulled off one of the biggest upsets in PBA history when he defeated an international field of opponents to win the PBA Scorpion Championship at South Point Bowling Center. It was the first Lumber Liquidators PBA Tour television final ever to include four international players and only one American. Gu (pronounced “coo”) upset four straight opponents, including top qualifier Jun-Yung Kim, 236-224, in the all-South Korea champi- onship match, to become the first South Korean ever to win a PBA Tour event. In a stunning finish, Gu held a 10-pin lead entering the ninth frame, but he missed a 7 pin spare conversion to surrender his lead. Needing a nine-count spare and strike to win, Kim then left a pocket 7-10 split on his first shot in the 10th frame to hand the victory back to Gu. Gu started the stepladder finals with a 245-204 vic- tory over former Saginaw Valley State collegiate All- American Dan MacLelland of Windsor, Ontario, throwing strikes on seven of his first nine shots. In his second match, Gu routed 2010 Pepsi Viper Champion Bill O’Neill of Southampton, Pa., 256- 208, again striking on eight of his first 10 shots. He then romped to a 233-208 victory over Australia’s two-handed star, Jason Belmonte, throwing seven strikes in eight tries. Gu had his first open frame in the 10th against Belmonte, but by that time he had already clinched a trip to the final match. “I can’t even say how happy I am,” Gu said through an interpreter. “This was my first trip to the United States. Winning wasn’t even in my dreams.” Regarding his first-ever shot on television, Gu said, “I didn’t feel anything. I just threw the shot.” But he quickly showed high-pitched emotions which followed virtually every strike. “It’s what we call showmanship in Korea,” he said. “It helps me relieve my stress before the next shot.” Gu, who idolizes PBA Hall of Famer Norm Duke “because he’s small like me,” had no idea what kind of reception awaited him upon his return home, but he had already learned he and Kim had become instant national celebrities simply by qualifying for the American television finals. South Korea’s lead- ing newspaper, television network and bowling mag- azine immediately flew representatives to the U.S. to cover the finals. Kim, who realized Gu had given him an opening when he missed the 7 pin, said his immediate reac- tion after leaving the 7-10 split was, “I lost. My shot in the 10th went farther right than I wanted.

Joey Weisenstein 802 at Majestic

LAS VEGAS, Nev. – Yong-Jin Gu, a slightly-

built 48-year-old left-hander, had never

bowled in a Professional Bowlers Association

event before the World Series of Bowling, but

he pulled off one of the biggest upsets in PBA

history when he defeated an international

field of opponents to win the PBA Scorpion

Championship at South Point Bowling

Center.

It was the first Lumber Liquidators PBA

Tour television final ever to include four

international players and only one American.

Gu (pronounced “coo”) upset four straight

opponents, including top qualifier Jun-Yung

Kim, 236-224, in the all-South Korea champi-

onship match, to become the first South

Korean ever to win a PBA Tour event.

In a stunning finish, Gu held a 10-pin lead

entering the ninth frame, but he missed a 7 pin

spare conversion to surrender his lead.

Needing a nine-count spare and strike to win,

Kim then left a pocket 7-10 split on his first shot in

the 10th frame to hand the victory back to Gu.

Gu started the stepladder finals with a 245-204 vic-

tory over former Saginaw Valley State collegiate All-

American Dan MacLelland of Windsor, Ontario,

throwing strikes on seven of his first nine shots. In

his second match, Gu routed 2010 Pepsi Viper

Champion Bill O’Neill of Southampton, Pa., 256-

208, again striking on eight of his first 10 shots. He

then romped to a 233-208 victory over Australia’s

two-handed star, Jason Belmonte, throwing seven

strikes in eight tries. Gu had his first open frame in

the 10th against Belmonte, but by that time he had

already clinched a trip to the final match.

“I can’t even say how happy I am,” Gu said

through an interpreter. “This was my first trip to the

United States. Winning wasn’t even in my dreams.”

Regarding his first-ever shot on television, Gu

said, “I didn’t feel anything. I just threw the shot.”

But he quickly showed high-pitched emotions which

followed virtually every strike. “It’s what we call

showmanship in Korea,” he said. “It helps me relieve

my stress before the next shot.”

Gu, who idolizes PBA Hall of Famer Norm Duke

“because he’s small like me,” had no idea what kind

of reception awaited him upon his return home, but

he had already learned he and Kim had become

instant national celebrities simply by qualifying for

the American television finals. South Korea’s lead-

ing newspaper, television network and bowling mag-

azine immediately flew representatives to the U.S. to

cover the finals.

Kim, who realized Gu had given him an opening

when he missed the 7 pin, said his immediate reac-

tion after leaving the 7-10 split was, “I lost. My shot

in the 10th went farther right than I wanted. It was a

good shot, but not the one I wanted to throw.”

Win LIGBT Titles SAYVILLE, NY - Brian Ziesig of Levittown, NY won the Long

Island Bowlers Tour scratch event and the handicap winner was

Robert Bader Sr., Holtsville, NY. A total of 25 bowlers cashed for the

day which means better than 1 in 4 bowlers earned money.

The scratch event was a 4 game qualifier bowled on Kegel’s 41 foot

Beaten Path Pattern. The only bowler to average over 225 was Joe

Stillman of Staten Island shooting a 908 series to lead the day and

earn a bye into the final match. The high senior for the day was Gary

Shultis of Levittown, NY posting an 872 to earn a bye into round 2.

It took an 832 series (208 average) to earn a spot on the prize list.

The final match in the scratch event put together two former

LIGBT Champions. It was the powerful lefty (Joe) versus the accu-

rate right hander (Brian.) Joe started with a spare and a triple to take

an early lead. Brian finally started to string strikes from the 6th frame

to his first ball in the tenth to shoot a 238 and defeated Joe by 16

pins. Brian earned $700 for his third LIGBT title while Joe took

home $400 for second.

The handicap event had 67 bowlers with the top 16 series advanc-

ing to the finals. It took a 718 series with handicap and bonus pins to

advance. Leading qualifier was Chris DiDamo of Glenwood

Landing, NY who rolled an 802 series (604 scratch) and he earned a

bye directly into the final shootout.

The handicap final four shootout Robert Bader Sr. started with a

strike, open, and spare his first three frames but struck out the rest of

the way to shoot an incredible 289 handicap game (252 scratch.) His

closest competitor was Ed Shacalo, Brooklyn, NY who shot a 246

(188 scratch). Robert earned $500 for his victory while Ed took

home $300 for his runner-up position. Finishing third was So Young

Chin of Whitestone, NY who rolled a 238 (202 scratch) to win $250

and fourth went to Chris DiDamo who bowled a 210 (159 scratch) to

earn $200. So Young also won a Mini-Eliminator Mini Marathon

entry with room with her 788 qualifying series.

In Youth Travel

LeagueBy Vince Albrecht

HACKENSACK, NJ – In a

scheduling change this season,

the Stan Niemiec Youth Travel

League staged at Bowler City the

first of three planned tournaments

designed so that all the young

bowlers get to know one another.

Rather than team matchups, the

players were grouped by individ-

ual averages and could earn for

their respective teams from one to

four points per game in a three

game block. Earning the maxi-

mum twelve points were Jake

Rollins and Justin Floyd of Fair

Lawn II, along with Simon

Lezaja of Fairlawn I.

Jake pummeled the maples with

the session’s best scratch set, a

triple deuce 666, teammate Justin

Floyd, averaging just 126, pound-

ed out a remarkable 222-614, giv-

ing him the afternoon’s stunning

handicap high of 866.

Simon, coming off a difficult

outing the prior week, put it

together with 208-585 and a 744

handicap threesome.

Other eye-opening performanc-

es included the 11 points for Fair

Lawn I earned by young Hunter

Perry for his well above average

threesome leaving him with a

handicap score of 733.

Montvale’s Brian O’Flaherty

grabbed 11 points with his strong

232-632 and teammate Nick

Rossi added a 209. Bowler City

I’s newcomer Sam Fogelgaren

helped his team’s cause with the

day’s high game of 257. Sam fin-

ished with 625 and a handicap

score of 745. Holiday’s 13-year-

old Joe Malyack tallied 10 points

for his handicap set of 735 which

was forged with a closing net

226; teammate Mike Carr con-

tributed with a scratch 245-612.
