Fort Wayne native Ron Mohr, and qualifying leader Chuck Richardson of The Villages, Fla., both finished with 4,215 18-game pinfall totals to tie for the lead after the first round of match play in the PBA60 Dick Weber Championship presented by Hammer Friday at Pro Bowl West in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

Mohr (pictured left and above), a two-time PBA50 Player of the Year, who now makes his home in Las Vegas, compiled a 5-1 match play record in the tournament for players 60 and over, and Richardson (right) put together a 4-2 record, to lead the 32-player field which will return for another six-game round Saturday morning that will determine the top five for the stepladder finals scheduled for noon.

With each win awarding 30 bonus pins, Mohr earned 150 in bonus and Richardson 120 pins. Mohr is averaging 225.8 overall for the tournament and Richardson 227.5.

“I was 10th after qualifying but then I shot a 299 in my first game of match play and that vaulted me into the top five so I just rode that momentum the rest of the way,” said the 60-year-old Mohr, who is an eight-time PBA50 Tour titlist. “It’s great to be back here in Fort Wayne. I want to make the hometown fans proud.”

Mohr finished fifth in the PBA50 DeHayes Insurance Group Championship presented by Pro Bowl West and Ebonite that concluded Tuesday.

The 62-year-old Richardson, who has competed part-time on the PBA50 Tour the past two years, has a best finish of 12th which came in the PBA50 Northern California Classic in June.

“I didn’t bowl that well on the western swing so I’m pretty excited with the way things are going right now,” said Richardson. “My main objective is to keep my emotions in check. This is way above where I’ve ever been in a PBA event.”

Mohr and Richardson lead PBA Hall of Famer Johnny Petraglia (left) of Jackson, N.J., in third with a 4,162 pinfall that was aided by a 5-1 match play record. The 14-time PBA Tour and eight-time PBA50 Tour winner has finished second the past two years in the Dick Weber Championship.

Rounding out the top five were Don Sylvia of Daytona Beach, Fla. with 4,139 and James Knoblauch (right) of Waukesha, Wis. with 4,084.
