Matt Ogle of Shepherdsville, Ky., primarily a product of league and local tournament bowling, averaged 232.6 to become the surprise leader after the first round of the PBA Xtra Frame Parkside Lanes Open Saturday.

Ogle (right), who uses a two-handed delivery and is bowling the event as a non-member, bowled an 1,861 eight-game pinfall total at Parkside Lanes in Aurora, Ill., with games of 190, 289, 245, 223, 268, 236, 193 and 217 on the 43-foot PBA Chameleon lane condition to lead 2011-12 PBA Player of the Year and tournament host Sean Rash (pictured above) of Montgomery, Ill., in second with 1,856.

“I came in here wanting to make the cut or maybe finish in the top 10 but to be leading has exceeded my expectations,” said Ogle, who counts a 33rd-place finish in the 2016 USBC Masters and a 2014 Bowlers Journal singles title as his best national accomplishments.

“After the 289 in the second game I felt more relaxed and it took a load off my shoulders. After that, I was able to make the right adjustments and just executed.”

Ogle and Rash lead a group of 24 players who advanced to Sunday’s cashers’ rounds that will get underway at 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. CT. The four-player stepladder finals are scheduled to begin immediately after the second cashers round at approximately 4 p.m.

Fans can catch all the action on PBA’s online bowling channel Xtra Frame.

Sunday’s rounds will be conducted on a 37-foot U.S. Open lane condition pattern used in 2015 and a throwback 40-foot PBA ‘strips’ pattern.

“I wanted to put together a lane condition lineup that would be challenging for shot-makers and put a premium on spare shooting and hopeful we’ll accomplish that when all is said and done, said Rash, who started the round with a 166 game.

“For me, everything went wrong in that first game so I went to a different ball at the end of that first game. It was a good example of how you need to continually make the adjustments to get back on track.

“I’ve organized tournaments before and enjoy doing it,” Rash continued. “I’d like to make this an annual thing here if everything falls together.”

Rounding out the top four were five-time Tour winner Ryan Shafer (left) of Horseheads, N.Y. in third with a 1,850 pinfall and Aaron Lorincz (right) of Belleville, Mich. with 1,808.

Colombian national team member Anggie Ramirez of Chicago is the lone woman in the finals making the cut in 23rd place with 1,688. Cameron Weier of Tacoma, Wash, beat out Liz Johnson of Cheektowaga, N.Y., for the 24th and last spot to advance by two pins, 1,683 to 1,681.

The Parkside Lanes Open is the seventh of nine Xtra Frame PBA Tour tournaments which will reward the overall points leader with a $10,000 bonus.
