300 to finish...... nice work mate and good luck for tonight
Twin-grip players made an impact after the first squad of the PBA Chameleon Open Sunday at the South Point Bowling Center with PBA Tour titlist and two-hander Jason Belmonte of Australia taking the early lead.
Belmonte fired a 1,963 eight game pinfall (245.3 average) with games of 279, 258, 211, 279, 241, 218, 177 and 300.
Belmonte, the winner of the 2009 Bowling Foundation Long Island Open, rebounded after a disappointing 75th-place finish in Saturday’s Bayer Viper Open.
“I was bowling scared yesterday like I was afraid to make errors which caused more errors,” said the 28-year-old Belmonte. “I was too cautious and I had to make sure to come out more aggressive today.
“It’s a new day and generally I had more confidence. Anytime I got into a lull or I was cruising I just kept reminding myself not to bowl scared—just grab the ball and get it.”
Belmonte’s 300 game to end the round vaulted him around Patrick Gerard of Canada who finished the squad in second with 1,938 and also bowled a 300 game.
Two-handers Brian Valenta of Lockport, Ill. with a 1,878 pinfall and Osku Palermaa of Finland with 1,872 held down the fifth and sixth places respectively. Palermaa is the only other player with a two-handed delivery to win a PBA title capturing last year’s GEICO Shark Championship at the World Series of Bowling.
In general, international players made an impact after the first squad with a total of seven countries represented in the top 16 which also included Thomas Larsen of Denmark in a tie for 10th with Stuart Williams of England; Dan MacLelland of Canada in 13th; Martin Larsen of Sweden in 14th and Andres Gomez of Colombia in 15th.
