All bowlers bowled 10 games with the overall pin total determining the final standings. Early on, strikes were hard to come by and only 9 bowlers posted games of 200 or better after game one. As the day went on, the bowlers who remained consistant and converted on spare opportunities were generally the ones who ended up on top of the leaderboard. After 3 games, 8 bowlers were plus and Scott Thoms led the way shooting +97. The demanding oil pattern began to open up as more and more games were bowled, and one bowler in particular took advantage of this in a big way. Matt Smallin of Minot, ND entered game 7 in 4th place at +48. Smallin would then post games of 268, 244, and 268 to open up a commanding lead going into game 10. Smallin would go on to shoot 189 in game 10 to seal the victory. The win gives Smallin his second victory of the season. Nice bowling Matt!
1 – Smallin +217
2 – Thoms +165
3 – Harris +132
4 – Yarborough +89
5 – Schmidt +68
