    A close contender for the monthly honor was Frank Gallo, Jr., Newport News, Va., a super senior who won his first Eastern Regional PBA title after 36 years.

    Also receiving significant votes were: Kristie Petravich, West Palm Beach, Fla., and Geoffrey Young, Denton, Texas, this year's USBC Junior Gold Champions, and Jodi Woesner, Oregon, Ohio, who as an amateur guest and female, won the PBA Central Region Storm Products/Beechmont Toyota Open tournament over Jason Couch.
