Mike Fagan Leads Field for PBA Dick Weber Open
Mike Fagan has been the top qualifier for the TV finals of the 2009-2010 PBA One A Day Dick Weber Open. Fagan finished with a total of 9136 (39 Games + Bonus Pins). This gave him a 172 pin lead over second qualifier Walter Ray Williams, Jr. Other qualifiers include Pete Weber (#3), Ryan Shafer (#4), and Bill O’Neill (#5).
The TV Finals will consist of stepladder matches, starting with O’Neill taking on Shafer, with the winner going on to bowl against Pete Weber. The show will be aired live on ESPN2 at 1:00, rather than ESPN this week. This tournament is being bowled on the 39 foot Dick Weber Open pattern, which was designed to force bowlers into making constant moves because of ongoing lane transitions.
