Team USA takes two bronze<br />
medals in Masters at PABCON<br />
Team USA earned two bronze<br />
medals Friday in the matchplay<br />
Masters, the final event<br />
of the 2011 Pan American<br />
<strong>Bowling</strong> Confederation Men’s<br />
Championships.<br />
Bill O’Neill and Chris<br />
Barnes both lost in the bestof-three<br />
games semifinals at<br />
Bolerama Tapatio. Mexico’s<br />
Alejandro Cruz took down<br />
O’Neill, 2-0, while Barnes lost<br />
2-0 to eventual gold medalist<br />
Dan MacLelland of Canada.<br />
“We had a good run this<br />
week, and it’s hard to be too<br />
disappointed,” said O’Neill,<br />
who won the all-events gold<br />
medal. “This format is a total<br />
crapshoot and for us to get a<br />
couple medals is OK. We’re<br />
always disappointed when<br />
we don’t win, but we brought<br />
home the gold in the important<br />
events.”<br />
Cruz, who earned Mexico<br />
its first medal of the Championships,<br />
struck out in the first<br />
game to beat O’Neill, 225-223,<br />
and then rolled to a 268-227<br />
win for the sweep.<br />
“I always like bowling<br />
against the crowd favorite,”<br />
O’Neill said. “It’s fun when<br />
you win that match as an<br />
underdog, but unfortunately I<br />
wasn’t able to come out on top<br />
this time.”<br />
In the other semifinal,<br />
MacLelland, who earned the<br />
all-events silver medal, took<br />
the opening game, 257-223, and<br />
then claimed the second game,<br />
255-212.<br />
All six Team USA members<br />
were among the 16 players<br />
who advanced to the Masters<br />
competition based on their finish<br />
in the all-events standings.<br />
Wes Malott and Mike Fagan<br />
lost in the quarterfinals, while<br />
Patrick Allen and Walter Ray<br />
Williams Jr. were knocked out<br />
in the first round.<br />
In the gold-medal match,<br />
MacLelland swept Cruz, 2-0,<br />
to win the title. <strong>The</strong> Canadian,<br />

Williams, Allen shatter<br />
PABCON doubles record<br />
GUADALAJARA, Mexico<br />
— Team USA’s Walter Ray<br />
Williams Jr. and Patrick Allen<br />
didn’t just break the all-time<br />
Pan American <strong>Bowling</strong> Confederation<br />
Men’s Championships<br />
record in doubles on Tuesday,<br />
they blew past it with ease.<br />
Williams and Allen combined<br />
to shoot a six-game total<br />
of 2,917, an average of 243.08,<br />
at Bolerama Tapatio, eclipsing<br />
the previous record of 2,788<br />
set in 2009 by their teammates<br />
Chris Barnes and Tommy<br />
Jones.<br />
Allen led the pair with<br />
1,461, while Williams contributed<br />
1,456 in the winning<br />
effort. Canada’s Dan MacLelland<br />
and Michael Schmidt took<br />
the silver medal with 2,742,<br />
while Puerto Rico’s Bruno Diaz<br />
and Andro Simounet earned<br />
the bronze with 2,720.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Americans entered the<br />
final doubles block knowing<br />
they needed a big performance<br />
after their teammates were out<br />
of medal contention from the<br />
morning session.<br />
“After the performance this<br />
morning, we knew it was either<br />
us or nobody for a medal,”<br />
Allen said. “It was just time for<br />
us to rise to the occasion so the<br />
team didn’t get shut out.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> gold medalists got out<br />
of the gate fast with Williams<br />
starting with games of 298 and<br />
278, while Allen opened with<br />
247 and 233. <strong>The</strong>y eventually<br />
pulled away from the Canadians<br />
in the final two games.<br />
“I was surprised the scores<br />
weren’t higher on the first<br />
block, but I knew there were<br />
still some pretty good bowlers<br />
on our squad,” said Williams,<br />
who opened the block with 11<br />
straight strikes before leaving<br />
the 2-8. “Fortunately, I had a<br />
real good look early on and<br />
Patrick bowled well, too.”<br />
Team USA’s Mike Fagan,<br />
who also opened the day with<br />
a 298 game, and Wes Malott<br />
finished doubles in 10th place<br />
with 2,578. Barnes and Bill<br />
O’Neill were 11th with 2,576.<br />
