Kenmore Lanes
April 30, 2022

Total Paid Out: $8,234.00

 

Wrap Up

Coming off our bye week, we returned to Kenmore Lanes.  We said we would make a tweak to the pattern to try and further reel in the higher scores, in an attempt to get back to the desired 'Ideal' level.  Well it seemed to work pretty well, as 117 bowlers fought for the Championship.  The scoring range among the 23 Cashers was perfect, with bowlers shooting over a 1000 and a low-to-cash of 903.  Starting the day, Phil Taylor fired a nice 999 series to lead the pack after the first squad, closely followed by Jenny Nguyen with her 992.  During the second squad Chuck Deforest upped the lead to a strong 1025, firing the only 1000 series to that point.  The way the scoring was going, we thought that score might be hard to beat.  Chuck hung around, with the big target on his back, waiting to see if his score would hold up for his first Singles Title

Our last Tourney saw Heather Schaaf hit the Front 7 Taps for $6,478.00, but the 9-Tap Jackpot was still a hefty $2,064.00 Saturday.  Jenny Nguyen tried to make it TWO-IN-A-ROW earning that coveted 'Golden Shot' after hitting the Front-6... her 7th shot was looking good, but an 8-count (4-7) derailed the effort.  Jenny's Front-6 still earned her a sweet $500.00 Bonus to go with her 6th Place finish worth another $180.00... Great Day Jenny!

Our Winner this week, Thang Duc Thai, is now an EIGHT time Champion.  After shooting a nice 935 series earlier, Thang re-entered in the third squad and got VERY hot, firing off an awesome Top Score of 1053.  Using his Storm 'Dark Code'Thang said he, "Got lucky today", but that was more than luck, with his scratch score earning him an extra $270.00 from the Scratch Pot.  Thang enjoys bowling with his friends and family, especially his brother Huyen who has NINE Titles of his own.  Thang's Win drought dates back to before the Covid shutdown (2019), but he has heated up recently, now with his third Top 5 finish since March.  Just last month, Thang joined the VERY ELITE $40,000.00 CLUB.  This week, his $1,853.00, in 1st Place Prize Money, pushes his career earnings to an awesome $42,192.00.   

Trying for his first career Singles Title and the leader after the second squad, Chuck Deforest held on for a 2nd Place finish, with his fine 1025 series.  Chuck does have one Doubles Title that he earned with Karol Knight in 2015, before he moved away for a while.  After saying that Kenmore was, "Toofar", on Friday, Chuck changed his mind and ended up shooting his Personal Best series!  Chuck said that his winnings of $841.00 will be used this month when he goes to Las Vegas for the National Open Championship... nice way to 'tune-up'!! 

Coming off a 2nd place finish at Skyway, a VERY HOT Adam Hamlet seemed to get the short end of the stick, coming up just short again.  This makes it an impressive FOUR Top 5 finishes already in 2022.  This week he fired a nice 1022 series, with only his second game of 163 standing in the way of his first Title.  Watch out for Adam in the future as his game is improving each week and he's inching closer to that first Title.  Adam's 3rd Place this week, earned him a nice check of $427.00.
