Jason Couch ends a two-year slump with victory in Chicago

11/27/05

PBA National Tour #5

Hawthorn Lanes Vernon Hills, IL (Nov. 23-27, 2005)

2005PBA05JasonCouch.jpg Jason Couch snapped a 42-event winless streak and captured his 12th career Denny's PBA Tour title Sunday as he defeated Joe Ciccone, 217-204, in the title match of the 2005 Chicago Classic at Hawthorn Lanes.

Couch overcame a slow start in which he struck just twice over his first five frames, by striking in frames 6-8. Ciccone, who struck in five of his first six frames, opened the door for Couch with a devastating open in the 9th, when he left the 4-6-7 split.

"You don't get that chance out here ever, so you have to take advantage of that," said Couch, Clermont, Fla., one of 31 millionaires in PBA history. The left-hander did take advantage of the situation. Needing to mark in the 10th, Couch struck out to capture his first Tour title since 2003.

Couch advanced to the title match with a 235-232 semifinal win over 22-time title winner Norm Duke. Couch struck on seven shots, none more important than his final shot of the 10th frame, which put Couch in his 24th career title match. Duke was making his third televised finals appearance of the season.

In the other semifinal, Ciccone defeated 30-time title winner Parker Bohn III, 224-200. Ciccone struck in three of his final four frames, forcing Bohn to double in the 10th. Bohn left a 7-9 split on his first shot in the 10th, giving Ciccone his first career win on TV.

Couch earned the $40,000 top prize and an exemption for the 2006-07 Denny's PBA Tour. Ciccone received $20,000 for his second place finish while Duke and Bohn garnered $10,000 for their respective third and fourth place finishes.

The Denny's PBA Tour moves to Hammond, Ind., for the 2005 BowlersParadise.com Classic, Nov. 30-Dec. 4 at Stardust Bowl I. The nationally televised ESPN finals take place Sunday, Dec. 4 at 1 p.m. EST.

Couch, Duke, Bohn and Ciccone to bowl for the title

11-time PBA Tour titlist Jason Couch will look to snap a 42-event winless streak as he defeated Brian Kretzer, four-games-to-none, Friday to advance to the championship round in the 2005 Chicago Classic at Hawthorn Lanes.

Couch has been the victim of some bad luck in the last year. He had six top-10 finishes in 2004-05 and finished fourth in average, but did not win a title for the first time in seven seasons. He had a fire in him Friday, however, mowing down Kretzer by averaging 232.50 in the four games.

"I've got something to prove to myself. I've worked really hard lately to get things right and I'm bound and determined to make it pay off," said Couch, who finished 7th in last week's 2005 United States Bowling Congress (USBC) Masters. "I'm out there just trying to bowl for myself right now."

November has historically been good to Couch, who is making his first television appearance since Nov. 21, 2004 when he finished fourth in the 2004 BowlersParadise.com Open. His last title came in the 2003 Pepsi Open, Nov. 2, 2003. He's also had success in the Chicago area, winning the second of his three Tournament of Champions titles in 2000 in Lake Zurich, Ill.

Couch will face 22-time titlist Norm Duke, who defeated Tommy Jones, 4-2. Duke has finished in the top five in four of the six events this season, including this week.

The other semifinal will feature 30-time titlist and PBA Hall of Famer Parker Bohn III against Joe Ciccone. Bohn defeated last week's USBC Masters champion Mike Scroggins, 4-2, while Ciccone defeated Eric Forkel, 4-3. Forkel, who earned his spot in the tournament through the Qualifying Round, rolled the sole 300-game in match play in the fourth game to take a 3-1 lead but Ciccone was able to come back by winning the last three games.

The final four will bowl for the $40,000 top prize and an exemption for the 2006-07 Denny's PBA Tour season on Sunday. ESPN will air the final round live from Hawthorn Lanes Sunday, Nov. 27 at Noon CST.

Malott leads again; Scroggins shoots record 79 consecutive 200-games

Wes Malott continues to show why he's the top-ranked bowler in the 2005-06 PBA World Point Rankings and Mike Scroggins is proving why his victory last week was no fluke.

Malott led qualifying in the 2005 Chicago Classic with a 3,307 14-game pinfall Thursday at Hawthorn Lanes after he averaged 232.14 in his final seven-game set. The 29-year-old from Austin, Texas began his second session with scores of 223, 268 and 211.

"After starting [the season] so well, my thought processes are all going the right way. My arm swing is obviously incredibly loose," said Malott, who has made the finals in four of five events this season. "I already have the exemption and I'm off to a good start."

Malott will face Mike Edwards in the best-of-seven games match play Round of 32 Friday at 9 a.m. CST. Edwards was 32nd with 3,038 and beat out D.J. Archer for the final match play spot by five pins.

Mike Scroggins, coming off his 2005 United States Bowling Congress (USBC) Masters win last week, was third with 3,250, 32-pins behind second place Joe Ciccone. Scroggins shot 248 in his 13th game of qualifying, giving him a Tour-record 79 straight games with a 200 or better score.

The streak ended with a 170 in his final game, but the 79-game streak surpassed the old record of 61 successive 200s set by Walter Ray Williams Jr. in 1993. Scroggins will face Rick Steelsmith in the Round of 32 after Steelsmith qualified 30th with 3,046.

The final four will bowl for the $40,000 top prize and an exemption for the 2006-07 Denny's PBA Tour season on Sunday. ESPN will air the final rounds live on Sunday, Nov. 27 at Noon CST.

Point Ranking Leader Malott takes early lead

Wes Malott has a lot to be thankful for these days, including a No. 1 ranking, his first career title and an exemption for the 2006-07 Denny's PBA Tour season. Malott is looking to add to that list as he leads the 2005 Chicago Classic through the first of two seven-game qualifying blocks Thursday at Hawthorn Lanes.

Malott, who is ranked first in the 2005-06 PBA World Point Rankings, leads the 64-bowler field with a 1,682 seven-game pinfall.

The 2005 Mile High Classic winner, who's been hampered by a leg injury recently, started his day with a 242. He shot 228 in game two before firing 269 and 268 in games three and four to take the lead. He maintained his lead by averaging 225 over his final three games, including a 267 in game six.

"I was really excited about bowling this week," said Malott, who finished 20th in last week's 2005 USBC Masters and failed to make the championship round for the first time in five events. "My leg had been bothering me for a couple weeks, but I took some time the last couple of days and evaluated it and everything's back to normal."

Trailing Malott in second place is 30-time titlist and PBA Hall of Famer Parker Bohn III, who finished with 1,655. Last week's 2005 USBC Masters champion Mike Scroggins is third with 1,647.

All 64 bowlers will return for another seven games tonight at 6 p.m. CST, with the top 32 advancing to Friday's single elimination, best-of-seven games match play. The final four will bowl for the $40,000 top prize and an exemption for the 2006-07 Denny's PBA Tour season on Sunday. ESPN will air the final round live from Hawthorn Lanes Sunday, Nov. 27 at Noon CST.

Jeff Carter wins Chicago Classic Qualifying Round

Jeff Carter erased a 19-pin deficit with a 256 in his final game to lead the Denny's PBA Tour Qualifying Round for the 2005 Chicago Classic with a 1,761 seven-game pinfall Wednesday at Hawthorn Lanes.

Carter averaged 240,50 over his first four games before he fired the day's only 300 in his fifth game. "I've had a lot of success [at Hawthorn Lanes]," said Carter. "This is my favorite stop on Tour. I've had good luck here and I look forward to coming here."

Hawthorn Lanes is the site of Carter's highest career finish in a Denny's PBA Tour event. He took sixth in the 2003 Miller High Life Open, falling to Mike Scroggins in the best-of-seven games match play Round of 8, four-games-to-two.

Wednesday, Carter outpaced amateur Derek Eoff who had the lead heading into the final game. Eoff, who had recorded a 290 in game six, shot 225 in his final game and finished second with 1,749.

Jim Tomek Jr. was third with 1,696 and will be appearing in his third standard Tour event of the season. Left-hander Eric Forkel took fourth with 1,655 while the next-highest PBA member was Lennie Boresch Jr., who was sixth overall with 1,574 and earned the final spot into Thursday's Round of 64.

The top four PBA members and the top amateur advance to Thursday's Round of 64. The Round of 64 features two seven-game qualifying blocks, after which the top 32 advance to single-elimination match play.

The final four will bowl for the $40,000 top prize and an exemption for the 2006-07 Denny's PBA Tour season on Sunday. ESPN will air the final rounds live on Sunday, Nov. 27 at Noon CST.
