Schlegel Back on Track

While he hadn’t won a PBA Senior Tour title in the last four years, Ernie Schlegel had no qualms in beating the top seed from qualifying in the 2007 PBA Senior Epicenter Classic at The Epicenter Bowling Complex in Klamath Falls.

In a battle of PBA Hall of Famers, Schlegel defeated top-seed David Ozio (Beaumont, Texas), 235-215, to claim his first PBA Senior Tour title since the 2003 PBA Senior Northern California Classic in Brentwood, Calif.

Schlegel refused to let Ozio in the match after the Texan left splits in the fifth and 10th frames.

“It always feels good to win. The cliché is true, winning never gets old,” said Schlegel (Vancouver, Wash.). “The win is the only anything that matters. If you win ugly, who cares, the win is what counts. If you are able to pick up some splits and convert your spares, chances are you are going to do well.”

Schlegel advanced to the finals after defeating the event’s second seed, Henry Gonzalez (Colorado Springs, Colo.), 245-182.

Ozio knocked off Bob Brady (Santa Monica, Calif.), 258-231, in the semifinals to advance.

Schlegel took home $8,000 for the victory, while Ozio earned $4,500 for second. Gonzalez and Brady took home $3,000 apiece for third and fourth.

The PBA Senior Tour heads to Brentwood, Calif., next for the PBA Senior Northern California Classic, July 1-4.
