    2006PeteWeber.jpg The Bowling Writers' Association of America has named Pete Weber, St. Ann, Mo., as the BWAA Kegel Bowler of the Month for March, 2007.

    The 43-year-old won the 64th BPAA U.S. Open Tournament at Brunswick Zone Carolier Lanes in North Brunswick, N.J., tying him with Mark Roth for third on the all-time titles list with 34.

    He also joined his late father, Dick Weber, and Don Carter as the only bowlers to win the U.S. Open or BPAA All-Star Tournament (the U.S. Open's predecessor) four times. Weber defeated Wes Malott, Argyle, Texas, 210-204 in the title match to earn a three-season Denny's PBA Tour exemption and $100,000.

    Other bowlers distinguishing themselves in March were: Doug Kent, who won the Denny's World Championship Tournament for his second major title of the season; Norm Duke who won the Pepsi Championship, and Jeff Carter who finished third twice, appearing in the televised final rounds in both the U.S. Open and Pepsi Championship.
