PBA World Championship qualifying results
Congrats once again to Jonathan Van Hees of Newport, RI, who was the only New England bowler to cash in the PBA World Championship, the first tournament and major of the PBA Tour season, taking place this week in Wichita, KS. Van Hees qualified in a tie for 40th (field was cut to the top 25%, 53 places, after qualifying) with a score of +220* (212.22 average for 18 games). Van Hees will participate in the cashers qualifying round tomorrow. The two other New England bowlers in the field were Alex Aguiar of Dartmouth, MA (87th, +79, 204.39 average) and Keith DeCambra of Quincy, MA (T175th, -325, 181.94 average).
* Scores in pro tournaments are usually given in terms of +/- 200; simply multiply 200 by the number of games (18) then add or subtract the +/- figure to determine total pinfall.
