Mike Fagan atop the leaderboard after two rounds in PBA One A Day® Dick Weber Open
01/28/10
Mike Fagan (pictured left) of Patchogue, N.Y., averaged 235.5 to take the second round lead Wednesday in the Professional Bowlers Association One A Day® Dick Weber Open at Fountain Bowl.
Fagan, who finished second to winner Norm Duke in last season’s Dick Weber Open, topped the 153-player field with a 2,355 10-game pinfall. He leads two-time Tour titlist Lonnie Waliczek of Wichita, Kan., in second by 55 pins.
“I’ve had good success here,” said Fagan. “It seems like I’m able to make the right adjustments quickly and I’m able to learn what I need to do from each shot. Last year was a breakout year for me here so I’m pretty confident.”
Fagan has one PBA Tour win which came in the 2007-08 season in the PBA Exempt Doubles Classic with Danny Wiseman.
Bill O'Neill (right) of Southampton, Pa., is third with 2,290 and Tommy Jones of Simpsonville, S.C., sits in fourth with 2,267. First round leader Robert Smith of Columbus, Ohio, slipped to fifth with 2,249.
With the final qualifying block to go, Tom Baker of King, N.C., holds the 24th and final place to advance with 2,110 or an average of 211. Just outside the box looking in are defending champion Norm Duke of Clermont, Fla., and PBA World Championship winner Tom Smallwood of Saginaw, Mich., who are tied for 25th place with 2,109.
A couple of international bowlers from Colombia, England, Norway, Sweden and Venezuela have entered the PBA One A Day® Dick Weber Open. Two of them are currently among the top 24. Amleto Monacelli (left) of Venezuela is 7th with 2,217 with Stuart Williams, England, in 23rd with 2,112.
The Dick Weber Open features the traditional open qualifying format used in the PBA’s early years with 15 games of qualifying determining the top 24 advancing to three eight-game blocks of round-robin match play. The top five players after match play advance to the stepladder finals.
The field of 153 players will return Thursday for a final five-game qualifying round to determine the top 24 who will advance to match play beginning Thursday evening. Match play continues on Friday to determine the top five bowlers who will advance to the Sunday’s stepladder final that will be televised by ESPN2 at 1 p.m. Eastern (10 a.m. Pacific).
