By Matt Cannizzaro - PWBA
LUBBOCK, Texas - Jazreel Tan
entered the 2015 Professional
Women's Bowling AssociationLubbock Sports Open hoping to
prove that she and her Team
Singapore teammates could com-
pete on the big stage of the PWBA,
and she did that with a dominating
performance at South Plains Lanes.
The 25-year-old right-hander led
the event through 12 games of
qualifying and 16 games of round-
robin match play over two long
days, and she topped Team USA
member Stefanie Johnson of Grand
Prairie, Texas, 257-246, to claim
the title and $10,000 top prize.
Tan lived nearly every bowler's dream by stepping up
in the final frame with a chance to lock up the win, and
she did so, first rolling a 10 pin and then delivering a powerful second strike to seal the victory.
"Things were moving quickly, so I wasn't totally sure
of the score, but I knew I needed to get maximum score
because Stefanie was striking and bowling well," said
Tan, a four-time first-team All-American at Wichita
State from 2009-2013. "Every frame was a big frame,
and I'm glad that 10 pin fell."
A 6-7 split in the seventh frame, which came after
four consecutive strikes, proved to be the undoing for
Johnson, who downed Team USA member Danielle
McEwan of Stony Point, New York (233-159) and
2011 United States Bowling
Congress Queens champion
Missy Parkin of Laguna Hills,
California (213-158) on the wayto the championship match.
Johnson earned $5,000 for the
runner-up effort, Parkin finished
third for the second consecutive
week and pocketed $3,500 and
McEwan earned $3,000 for her
fourth-place finish.
"Bowling in college in the
United States and sharing success
with fellow Wichita State players,
such as Tannya Roumimper, was a
big step forward for international
bowlers, but this being on a pro-
fessional level is another big
step," Tan said. "Hopefully, this will open the door for
more bowlers from Asia to be able to come here to
compete against the best. It's a long and expensive tripfor most, but I hope this helps others see the opportu-
nities."
In the event, four of the five bowlers from Singapore
were among the 16 players who made match play, and
the fifth finished 17th. From here, the quintet will
head to Wichita, Kansas, for the PWBA Wichita Open,
before heading home.
The Lubbock Sports Open featured a near-capacity
field of 74 competitors, with 16 advancing to match
play and 32 taking home prize checks. All rounds
were broadcast live on Xtra Frame.

By Matt Cannizzaro - USBC
EL PASO, Texas - Ryan Zagar of Kenosha, Wisconsin, put together an unforgettable run
during his United States Bowling Congress Open Championships debut in 2015 and jump-
started that performance by pacing the field in Open Singles at the Bowlers JournalChampionships presented by USBC.
The 21-year-old right-hander claimed the top prize of $10,000 with games of 266, 243
and 247 for a 766 series at the El Paso Convention Center, which included needing a dou-
ble in the final frame to surpass the 757 set posted by runner-up Sean Corbett of San
Antonio. Corbett earned $7,000 for his performance.
Zagar, a former Junior Team USA member, also competed in doubles during the same set
to become eligible for the Dual Entry prize list. He earned an additional $1,000 for topping
the Dual Entry standings.
"It's exciting, and the student loans are going to be a little better off, too," said Zagar, a
collegiate standout at Robert Morris-Illinois who helped the Eagles capture the men's title
at the 2013 XBowling Intercollegiate Team Championships. "It was a blessing in disguise
how I even ended up at the tournament this year. It's a great group of guys, and they are
very supportive. We fed off each other the entire time out there, and the fact this was the
first set off the plane makes it even better. It was the start of an incredible trip."
The momentum from Zagar's performance at the Bowlers Journal Championships also
translated to success at the USBC Open Championships as he nearly took home an eagle inhis first appearance.
He made a run at the Regular Singles lead before settling into second place with a 787
series. His overall performance left him in seventh place in Regular All-Events (2,104), and
he helped High Five Gear of Wichita, Kansas, into eighth place in Regular Team (3,214)
and 10th in Team All-Events (9,628).
Two-time Open Championships titlist Bo Goergen of Sanford, Michigan, added two more
trophies to his mantle after winning Senior Singles at the 2015 Bowlers Journal
Championships and teaming with Jerome Penxa Jr. of Romeo, Michigan, for the Senior
Doubles crown.

Goergen claimed the singles title
and $4,000 with games of 231, 247
and 258 for a 736 series and was
entered in doubles with Penxa dur-
ing the same set. Penxa added a
621 series for a 1,357 total. The
doubles win earned the pair $2,000.
"It means a lot, and it's an accom-
plishment I'm very proud of," said
Goergen, who won the 2009
Regular Singles title at the Open
Championships with a record scoreof 862 and returned the next year to
help his team to the Team All-
Events win. "I'm probably more
excited for Jerry than I am myself,
already having the opportunity to
win two eagles at the Open. To be
able to share this with someone that
hadn't quite experienced something
at this level is exciting."
Les Shirwindt of Las Vegas and
Marcia Solberg of Webster, South
Dakota, also took home singles
titles at the 2015 Bowlers Journal,
worth $2,000 and $1,000, respec-
tively.
Shirwindt, a 2011 Team All-
Events champion at the OpenChampionships, earned the top
spot in the Super Senior Singles
standings with a 721 effort, while
Solberg finished with a 707 series
to capture the 199 & Under
Handicap Singles title.
Jonathan Wilbur of North
Clarendon, Vermont, and Todd
Lathrop of Colchester,
Connecticut, took home the Open
Doubles title and $7,500 with a
1,419 total, and David Armstrong
of Naperville, Illinois, and Susan
Schlink of Chicago won Handicap
Doubles, worth $1,200, with 1,276.
A total of 27 bowlers claimed ashare of the 30 Clean Jackpot at the
Bowlers Journal Championships in
2015, worth $585.63 apiece. Three
bowlers hit the Strike-It-Rich
Jackpot, worth $5,270.67 each, and
former Junior Team USA member
Chris Bardol of Brockport, New
York, fired a 300 game to win the
High Game Jackpot and $15,812
prize.
For the third consecutive year,
the Bowlers Journal was held under
the same roof as the Open
Championships and featured the
same lane condition used during
doubles and singles at the Open
Championships.Both events will return to the
National Bowling Stadium in
Reno, Nevada, in 2016.
