Ron Mohr leads top 32 into match play at PBA Senior Northern California Classic
06/02/10

Reigning PBA Senior Tour Player of the Year Ron Mohr (pictured left) of Eagle River, Alaska, still in search of his first title of the 2010 season, held onto a two-pin lead at the end of qualifying Tuesday in the PBA Senior Northern California Classic at Harvest Park Bowl.
Mohr finished the 16 games of qualifying with a 3,624 total, two pins ahead of four-time PBA Senior Tour Player of the Year Tom Baker (right) of King, N.C., as the top 32 players headed into Wednesday's single-elimination match play finals.
"Moving from pair to pair was really tough today," Mohr said. "The lane conditioning pattern played flatter than it did on Monday. From pair to pair, there was maybe a five or six-board difference in ball reaction. But I held on, so I'll have a couple of rounds of byes Wednesday, and then we'll come back to match play and see what happens."

Harry Sullins (left) of Chesterfield Township, Mich., qualified in third place with 3,602 pins followed by Darryl Traber of Waterford, Wis., at 3,556 and Hugh Miller (right) of Seattle with 3,497 pins. Defending champion Dale Traber of Cedarburg, Wis., advanced to match play in 21st place.
In standard PBA Senior Tour events, the top eight qualifiers earn byes for the first two best-of-five-game match play rounds while qualifiers nine through 16 get one bye round.
The entire field will bowl another eight-game qualifying round on Tuesday after which the field will be cut to the top 32 players who will advance to best-of-five match play beginning Wednesday at 8 a.m. Match play continues all day on Wednesday with the Round of 8 and championship rounds scheduled for 5 p.m. Pacific Time.
