    Default Two-hander Schaub Retains PBA Pepsi Red, White and Blue Open Lead

    Two-hander Schaub Retains PBA Pepsi Red, White and Blue Open Lead
    Wichita, Kan. - 12/9/2009


    Rookie Cassidy Schaub of Ashland, Ohio, set a Professional Bowlers Association 16-game scoring record Wednesday, averaging 257.25 to retain the second round lead in the Pepsi Red, White and Blue Open presented by the United States Bowling Congress at Northrock Lanes.

    Schaub, a two-handed bowler who throws the ball from the left side of his body, posted a 16-game total of 4,116 pins to erase the PBA record of 4,095 set by John Mazza in Las Vegas in 1996. Despite his torrid scoring pace, he maintained only a modest 70-pin lead over Michael Machuga of Erie, Pa., who recorded a 2,103 round on the USBC White lane condition Wednesday for a 4,046 total.

    Billy Oatman of Chicago was third with 3,994 pins followed by Wayne Garber of Modesto, Calif., with a 3,988 total and Mike Scroggins of Amarillo, Texas, with 3,984 pins.

    “To throw that many strikes in one day is a pretty good feeling,” Schaub beamed. “I honestly thought I’d never top yesterday – and score-wise I didn’t – but throwing my first PBA 300 and backing it up with another is a feeling I can’t describe.”

    Schaub, who is seeking his first Lumber Liquidators PBA Tour title, is on top of the world after a miserable debut in the five-week, seven-tournament PBA World Series of Bowling in late summer where his highest finish was 35th place.

    “After Detroit, I questioned whether I should even be out here,” he said. “In Detroit, if I had bowled a 190, I would have backed it up with a 170 because I would have been mad. Today, shot I 192 (his only sub-200 game of the tournament) and backed it up with a 300, and then another 300, so just taking things one shot at a time is something I’ve learned and I’m still learning.

    “I’ve never had back-to-back 300s in practice or anything,” he laughed. “I’ve never, ever thrown that many strikes in a row.”

    Schaub said the USBC White lane condition “played a little tighter at the start, but once a spot developed, the lanes played pretty much like they did yesterday. The right side developed a cliff again, because there are so many more right-handers in the tournament. There were little differences, but nothing drastic.”

    “I chased (Schaub) all day, but I just couldn’t reel him in,” said Machuga, a two-time PBA Tour winner who bowled on a pair of lanes next to Schaub all day. “I’ve only had one other block of games in my life where I threw the ball as well as I did today.”

    The Pepsi Red, White and Blue Open presented by the USBC is being conducted on three different lane conditioning patterns the USBC plans to introduce on an optional basis to American league bowlers in cooperation with the Bowling Proprietors’ Association of America for the 2010-11 winter league season. Similar in concept to golf’s tee system, the USBC Red condition is the most forgiving pattern, the White condition is a medium challenge and the Blue pattern is the most challenging.

    The top 39 after Wednesday’s second round advance to a third eight-game qualifying round on the Blue pattern Thursday morning. The top 24 players after 24 games will advance to three eight-game, round-robin match play rounds on the Red, White and Blue patterns, respectively, Thursday and Friday. The top six will then advance to the championship round which will be taped Sunday to air on ESPN on Sunday, Jan. 10.

    It took a 235 average to make the cut to Wednesday’s third qualifying round. Among those who advanced were Liz Johnson of Cheektowaga, N.Y., with a 3,799 total good for a tie for 29th, and two of the four PBA World Championship finalists who will bowl for that title Sunday at 1 p.m. Eastern, live on ESPN. Rhino Page of Wesley Chapel, Fla., and Wes Malott of Pflugerville, Texas, qualified 34th and 39th respectively, both by rolling 279 in their final games. Bill O'Neill, Southampton, Pa., and Thomas Smallwood, Saginaw, Mich., failed to advance.

    Johnson also had one of the 13 perfect games bowled thus far. The PBA record for most 300 games in a single tournament is 24, set in Peoria, Ill., in 1995.

    Among those who didn’t advance was three-time Professional Golfers Association titlist Woody Austin of nearby Derby, Kan., who finished 118th in the field of 119 with a 188 average.

    “My nine-year-old son (Peyton) told me before the round, ‘Dad, you’re dead last.’ I didn’t want to disappoint him. I bowled better today,” Austin said. “At least I had four games over 200. But I just can’t get enough revolutions on the ball to compete with these guys. I was leaving 10 pins all day long.”

    scoring for this tournament is ludicrous! 24th place is averaging 233, the leader 252. there have been closr to 30 300's so far.scoring records have been broken almost every game. RITCHIE ALLEN goes 877 for the first 3 games of match play, 1145 for the first 4. vFagen shoots 289 and looses.
    Still love the game but had to quit because of my left leg amptation
    High game 299 x 5 High sanctioned series 805 (1989)
