26th Annual Open Masters
46th Annual Queens presented by STORM
March 31-April 1 at Let It Roll Bowl
Koizumi, King win titles
Jory Koizumi captured the 2012 Queens title by
defeating Bryanna Caldwell 493-417. Koizumi was undefeated in the double
elimination finals. She qualified 7th then defeated Brandi Wolfe, Savahna Porter
and Aesha Turner on her way to the title match against Caldwell. Other
finalists in order of finish, 3rd Aesha Turner, 4th Brandi Wolfe, 5th Tina
Stickney (defending), 5th Savahna Porter, 7th Brenda Burns and Mandy Etem.
Kyle King defended his title by defeating Lanndyn
Carnate in a one ball roll-off after they tied in their match 422-422. By
tournament rules, any tie in the 2 game double elimination finals would be
decided by a one ball sudden death roll-off until the tie is broken. In
this case, it determined the title. Kyle was undefeated so Lanndyn would have
needed to won twice. In their match, Kyle got 7 on the fill ball giving Lanndyn
a chance to strike out in the 10th frame to win. He got the first two but
got 9 on the last ball. Kyle elected to go first in the roll-off and threw
a strike. Lanndyn left a stubborn 10 pin to finish as runner-up.
Other finalists, 3rd 4-time Masters Champion Ben Laughlin, 4th Cliff Connors,
5th Randy Cote and Brett Wolfe, 7th Jim Pratt and Ron Schloss. With
winning back-to-back, King joins Ben Laughlin and Pete Partridge as the only
ones to successfully defend the title.
The Lane pattern for this tournament was
the 44 foot WTBA London.
Sam Burke was the winner of the Storm Marvel
Pearl bowling ball. The ball was donated by Storm Bowling as sponsorship
