SPOILER ALERT: The following story contains information about the stepladder finals of PWBA events that will air on CBS Sports Network in August.
The Professional Women's Bowling Association Tour, which was re-launched in 2015 after nearly a dozen years, has released the PWBA Tour schedule for 2016, featuring 10 regular-season events, four "majors" and stops from coast to coast. The 2016 PWBA schedule kicked off April 28 with the PWBA Las Vegas Open at Texas Station and will conclude with back-to-back "majors", the U.S. Women's Open and The Smithfield PWBA Tour Championship.
Being back in the bowling center where she won her sixth major title, Liz Johnson (l.) of Cheektowaga, New York, said her expectations were not too high heading into the Go Bowling Professional Women's Bowling Association Players Championship. A troublesome practice session had dimmed those expectations, but a strong finish in Saturday's final eight match-play games allowed her to capture the No.1 seed for the stepladder finals at The Ashwaubenon Bowling Alley in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
