Regional Tour RecapTwo weeks after Missy Bellinder made history in becoming the first woman to win two PBA Regional Tour titles, Amy Stolz added her name to the history books, becoming the fourth woman to win a PBA Regional Tour event and the first to do so in the PBA Southwest Region.
Stolz joined Bellinder, Liz Johnson and Kelly Kulick as female Regional champions after capturing the PBA Southwest Region Broomfield Open in Broomfield, Colo. In her first-ever PBA Southwest Regional event, Stolz qualified first, then swept Rick Schafer, 3-0, defeated Denny’s PBA Tour exempt bowler Mark Scroggins, 2-1, and dusted off Tyler Jensen, 222-191, to advance to the title match. There, she met up with PBA Senior Tour bowler Shannon Starnes, whom she promptly defeated 244-167.
Stolz will be one of 16 women battling it out in the brand new PBA Women’s Series, a four-event mini Tour beginning with the 2007 Motor City Classic in Taylor, Mich., Nov. 1-4. Stolz qualified for the Tour by finishing 11th.
Upcoming Regional ActionJust one PBA region is in action this coming weekend, with the PBA West Region in Lake Havasu, Ariz., for the PBA West Region Havasu Lanes Open. The PBA East Region was scheduled to hold an event in Mattydale, N.Y., but the event was postponed until April 2008.
