Matt O’Grady Defeats Jesper Svensson to Win
53rd PBA Tournament of Champions
FAIRLAWN, Ohio – Advancing
from a pre-tournament qualifier
earlier in the week all the way to
the title match, four-time
Professional Bowlers Association
regional tournament winner Matt
O’Grady of Rahway, N.J., won the
53rd PBA Tournament of
Champions for his first PBA Tour
title.
O’Grady, whose best previous
PBA Tour finish was fourth, and
best major finish was 13th, won
three stepladder finals matches at
AMF Riviera Lanes before beat-
ing top qualifier and 2016
Tournament of Champions winner
Jesper Svensson, 207-193, in the
title match of the first major of the
2018 Go Bowling! PBA Tour sea-
son.
O’Grady held a three-pin lead
over Svensson in the eighth frame
but was able to pull away when he
struck in the ninth frame and the
first shot in the 10th. Except for
strikes in the second and third
frames, Svensson was not able to
put another string of strikes
together for the rest of the match.
“I feel like I’m sleepwalking—
it’s a dream come true,” said the

New Hall of Famers, Award Winners Honored During PBA’s 60th Anniversary Celebration
INDIANAPOLIS - On the eve of the finals of the Go
Bowling! PBA 60th Anniversary Classic finals at
Woodland Bowl, a crowd of more than 300 PBA fans,
industry leaders and members of the bowling news media
gathered at the Marriott North for the PBA 60th
Anniversary Celebration Dinner to recognize the PBA’s
three newest Hall of Famers – Chris Barnes, Ron Mohr
and the late Don Mitchell; its 2017 award winners and to
officially begin a year-long celebration of 60 years of pro-
fessional bowling at its finest.
Kicking off the evening, PBA CEO and Commissioner
Tom Clark introduced PBA’s four individual award win-
ners. The entire celebration dinner was live streamed on
PBA’s online bowling channel, Xtra Frame.
PBA Hall of Famer Del Ballard Jr. of Keller, Texas, who
converted his own battle with tonsil cancer into a suc-
cessful, ongoing “Ballard Vs. the Big C” fund-raising
program, was selected as the recipient of PBA’s Tony
Reyes Memorial Community Service Award.
“This is such an honor because Tony Reyes was close
to me as his tour rep when he won his PBA title. This
award is very humbling,” Ballard said. “All I did to earn
it was supply the cancer. My wife and friends did the
rest.”
Ballard’s life changed in May 2010 when he was diag-
nosed with tonsil cancer. One evening after a treatment,
the 13-time PBA Tour titlist, wife Carolyn and a handful
of friends got together at Ballard’s house and laid the
groundwork for what would become “Ballard Vs. The Big
C” – or BVBC for short. As of 2017, BVBC has raised in
excess of $300,000 to carry out research on cancer treat-
ments focused on the head, neck and throat.

HOF Continued from Page 1

Chris Loschetter of Avon, Ohio,
was selected by his fellow com-
petitors as the Steve Nagy PBA
Sportsmanship Award winner.
“I bet 10 years ago a lot of did-
n’t think I’d win this award, but
I’ve calmed down,” Loschetter
said. “I’m in awe of how talented
you guys are. Many of you should
win this award, and I’m sure
some of you will.
It’s been an amazing journey
and I’m grateful you guys think
I’m deserving. I’ll try to keep
behaving myself on the lanes.”
Loschetter, a 37-year-old two-
time PBA Tour champion, com-
pleted a nine-year quest for his
first PBA Tour title in the 2012
Wolf Open in Milwaukee and
won his second with the Merica
Rooster Illusion team that won
the 2016 PBA Team Challenge
title while still in recovery from
his own battle with cancer.
Loschetter has been a member of
the PBA League’s Philadelphia
Hitmen since the program’s
inception in 2013.
Matt Sanders, an Evansville,
Ind., native now living in
Indianapolis, was recognized as
the 2017 Harry Golden PBA
Rookie of the Year after winning
two titles and leading a strong
class of PBA rookies in both
earnings and average.
“Just coming out here and liv-
ing my dream is something spe-
cial,” Sanders said. “I was lucky
to have an awesome year and I
loved every minute of it.
Hopefully I can keep doing it.”
Sanders, a former two-time
NAIA All-American with Marion
University-Indiana, was the only
rookie to win a PBA Tour title in
2017 (in the PBA Xtra Frame
Billy Hardwick Memorial Open)
and he concluded his first season
with a fifth-place finish in the
PBA World Championship.
For the fourth time in the past
five seasons, Australia’s Jason
Belmonte was recognized as the
GEICO Chris Schenkel PBA
Player of the Year.
“In my opinion this is the sec-
ond greatest award a player can
win behind being inducted into
the hall of fame,” Belmonte said.
“It isn’t something I take for
granted; it inspires me to be bet-
ter.”
Belmonte, after becoming the
first player in PBA history to win
three major championships
among his four titles in 2017 and
setting a PBA average record
(229.39) in the process, was a
landslide winner in Player of the
Year voting. At age 34 he joined
Mark Roth as a four-time winner
of the award, trailing only Walter
Ray Williams Jr.’s seven POY
Awards, and the late Earl
Anthony with six.
Mitchell, the first hall of fame
inductee, succumbed to cancer in
2012 at age 80. He went from
managing a small bowling center
in Indianapolis to developing the
Royal Pin Leisure Centers chain,
which has hosted dozens of
showcase events at all levels of
bowling. Its centerpiece –
Woodland Lanes on Indianapolis’
north side – has hosted every
major championship the PBA has
offered, which made it a natural
choice to host the Go Bowling!
PBA 60th Anniversary Classic.
Mitchell’s bowling center
empire grew from one center in
1974 to multiple centers with
more than 300 lanes and five pro
shops. He was a vocal advocate
for the PBA as the sport’s most
prominent promotional vehicle,
and he put his money behind his
passions. He was equally enthusi-
astic as a bowler, competing in 50
USBC Open Championships. He
is the first bowling proprietor
elected to the PBA Hall of Fame
exclusively based on his role as a
bowling center owner.
Following a video tribute from
a number of players who were
benefactors of Mitchell’s hospi-
Fort Wayne, Ind., native moved
to Alaska at age 23 and got a job
in a bowling center in Anchorage.
He began dating a girl whose
father worked for the FAA at the
time President Ronald Reagan
fired all of the striking air traffic
controllers who refused his order
to return to work. Mohr wound up
working as an air traffic con-
troller in Alaska for 25 years.
He also had a chance to develop
bowling skills and in 1988 earned
a berth on Team USA, where he
got his first taste of elite level
competition. When he retired
from his air traffic controller
position in 2008, he decided to
try the PBA50 Tour. In his break-
out season in 2009, Mohr won
three of his nine career PBA50
Tour titles en route to his first
POY award (he won again in
2011). In nine full seasons as a
“senior” bowler, he has finished
in the top 10 in earnings and aver-
ages each year, and has never had
a season averaging below 220. He
currently is the two-time defend-
ing PBA60 Player of the Year.
In presenting Mohr, his friend
and fellow PBA50 competitor
Mike Dias said, “Ron’s workout
regime is legendary. He does 45
consecutive minutes of sit ups
every day. I get so tired watching,
I have to get a drink. But Ron
bowls like he works out. He puts
Barnes, an 18-time PBA Tour
title winner, was a consensus
selection. He was a late-comer to
PBA competition an All-America
career at Wichita State
University, a starring role with
Team USA and a prolific nine-
year career as a “professional
amateur,” finally joining the PBA
just before his 28th birthday.
The Kansas native, now living
in Double Oak, Texas, is one of
five players to win both PBA
Rookie and Player of the Year
honors, and one of six players to
complete the PBA Triple Crown
(2005 U.S. Open, 2006 PBA
Tournament of Champions and
2011 PBA World Championship).
Now 47, and he ranked among
the top 10 in PBA earnings for 16
consecutive seasons, surpassing
the $1 million milestone in career
earnings in a then-record 170
events.
“When Chris called me to pres-
ent him into the PBA Hall of
Fame, I began to wonder what
you had to do to get in,” said for-
mer PBA star and Barnes’ person-
al coach, Mark Baker. “There are
a number of boxes to check off,
and Chris checked them all.”
Baker said the first time he
worked with Barnes, he asked
Baker for help and Baker
answered, “No thanks, I’m
good.” Barnes asked, “What do

“Wow. What an incredible jour-

many friends and industry associ-
ates who played a role in his
career. He also thanked PBA Hall

great things happen.” Of Walter

“You’re the best player in the
world, I don’t want to screw you

“It’s great to think my name
will be among the greatest our
sport has known, but nothing hap-
pens on its own,” Barnes said.
“Looking back, I never thought of
myself as a great player, but I
kept driving myself to find out
what was wrong and how I could
fix it.
“I’ve probably received more
help from coaches than anyone
else in this room, mostly because
I needed it,” he added.
“It’s been a life-long goal to
stand up here tonight, to be able
to stand atop the mountain, so
thank you very, very much.”

In the second match, O’Grady met four-time and reigning PBA Player
of the Year Jason Belmonte of Australia, who was trying for a record-
tying 10th major and third Tournament of Champions title. Needing a
double in the 10th frame to pull out the win, Belmonte struck on the first
ball but left a 10 pin on a pocket hit on the second shot giving O’Grady
the 229-225 win.
“That was like climbing the mountain to win that match,” O’Grady
said. “Obviously, I still had a lot of work to do but there was a lot of
relief after beating Jason, especially with everything he was bowling
for.”
Belmonte, who was the No. 3 qualifier, made a dramatic run to the
finals just barely advancing to match play in the 24th and final position.
Had he won, he would have been only the fourth player to win a major
from that position.
Belmonte finished fourth but has another opportunity to win a 10th
major at the Barbasol PBA Players Championship Feb. 19-25 at Wayne

16-Year-Old Tom Chamberlain 300-772 in Youth Travelers
By Vince Albrecht
OAKLAND, NJ - The 2017-18 Stan Niemiec
Youth Travel League opener was held at Holiday
Bowl and New Yorker Matt Russell bolted from
the gate with a remarkable 300: 801. Now, in
week eighteen, again at Holiday Bowl, another
New Yorker, 16-year-old Suffern sophomore Tom
Chamberlain struck the perfection chord as part
of his 300: 772. Tom, sporting a gaudy 219 aver-
age, started his morning with 203 and not satis-
fied with the carry, switched to another ball and
promptly mowed down the maples to the tune of
300-279 [twenty-three strikes and a pocket 10
pin] to finish with the league’s third best series
this season. His squad also recorded impressive
numbers: David Neil 715 [204-243-268], Jack
Miller 239: 604 and Jared Duncan 207-212: 590
as Holiday ran away from Bowler City I, 3092-
2863. Leading scorer for short-handed BC I was
15-year-old Teaneck sophomore Trevor Savoye
who pounded the pin decks with 249-213: 632
with help from Hi Tech freshman John Behr 202:
583 and River Dell freshman Jake Edelstein who
recorded three over-average games.
The aforementioned Matt Russell salivates at
the thought of bowling at Holiday; after a feel-
out-the-lanes opener, Matt exploded for 258-278
leaving him with 729, the second best threesome
of the session. Although teammate Chris Torres
chipped in with 225-223: 626, the Montvale team
