Tom Baker maintains lead after second round in PBA Senior Lake County Indiana Open
08/12/10
Professional Bowlers Association Hall of Famer and eight-time Senior Tour titlist Tom Baker (pictured left) of King, N.C., averaged 218.1 Wednesday to maintain the lead after the second round in the PBA Senior Lake County Indiana Open at Olympia Lanes.
Baker, a four-time Senior Player of the Year, had a 3,585 16-game pinfall after two rounds to hold a 69-pin lead over fellow Hall of Famer and leading 2010 Senior Player of the Year contender Wayne Webb (right) of Columbus, Ohio, in second with 3,519. Baker, who held the lead after Tuesday’s first round, had games of 224, 203, 188, 190, 210, 226, 247 and 257 in Wednesday’s round.
“It was quite a bit different out there for me today,” said the 55-year-old Baker who is hoping for his first Senior Tour title this season. “Yesterday, I used one ball and didn’t have to make as many adjustments. The lanes were a little tougher today and I was making more adjustments and ball changes.”
Webb, who is hoping for his third Senior Tour title this season having won the USBC Senior Masters and the Senior Columbus Open, matched up better with the lane conditions in Wednesday’s round.
“Since we’ve been off a few weeks I’m probably not as sharp as I should be,” Webb said, “but I’m getting more comfortable as the tournament goes on. I like to play inside and I was able play inside around the fourth arrow today.”
Two other Senior Player of the Year contenders Hall of Famers Walter Ray Williams Jr. (left), in his first year on the Senior Tour, and Mark Williams (right), are in third and ninth place, respectively after the second round.
The field has been cut to the top 32 players who will advance to match play beginning at 9 a.m. Thursday. The Round of 8 will begin at 5 p.m. followed by the semifinal and championship matches.
