Hoping to redeem himself after bowling a 168 in the final game of Monday's Professional Bowlers Association Wolf Open second round to miss the stepladder finals, 13-time PBA Tour winner Patrick Allen (pictured left) of Mount Kisco, N.Y., led Badger Open first round qualifying Wednesday at the FireLake Bowling Center in Shawnee, Okla.

In the third tournament of the Oklahoma's Grand Casino Hotel & Resort PBA Summer Swing, Allen bowled a 1,425 pinfall total (237.5 average) with games of 259, 222, 224, 223, 286 and 211 in the first round to lead 18 players into the Badger Open second round which gets underway Wednesday evening.

After this evening's round, the top five will be determined for the stepladder finals at the Grand Casino Hotel & Resort Event Center Saturday at 5:15 p.m. CT. The Badger Open will air on the CBS Sports Network Tuesday, June 9 at 9 p.m. ET.

Allen, who was also the first round leader in the Wolf Open, is trying to win his first Tour title since the 2009 Dydo Japan Cup.

Trying to make his second telecast of the Summer Swing, Andres Gomez (left) of Colombia finished the first round in second with a 1,399 pinfall on the 52-foot Badger lane condition, the longest of the three Summer Swing lane conditions.

Gomez, a two-time Tour winner, has already qualified fourth for the PBA Wolf Open stepladder finals which was the first event of the Summer Swing.

Rounding out the top five heading into this evening's second round were three-time Tour winner Rhino Page (above right) of Orlando, Fla., 1,396; four-time Tour winner Dom Barrett (left), England, 1,388, and two-time winner Mike DeVaney (right), Winchester, Calif., 1,382.

With the completion of the Badger Open first round, the 18 spots were determined for the PBA Oklahoma Open match play rounds on Thursday. Three six-game match play rounds will be conducted at 10 a.m., 2 and 6:30 p.m. on each of the Summer Swing lane conditions (Wolf, Bear and Badger) at FireLake with the top five advancing to the stepladder finals Sunday at noon at the Grand Event Center.

The top five heading into Oklahoma Open match play were Bill O'Neill (left), Langhorne, Pa., 4,142; Marshall Kent (right), Yakima, Wash., 4,112; Allen, 4,093; Ronnie Russell, Marion, Ind., 4,026 and Barrett, 4,022.

Page failed to make the cut to the top 18 after losing a one-game roll-off to J.R. Raymond of Bay City, Mich., 224-148, breaking the tie for 18th place.

Thursday's Oklahoma Open match play rounds will be covered live on PBA's online bowling channel, Xtra Frame.
