HAMMOND, Ind. (Aug. 11, 2011) Harry Sullins of

Chesterfield Township, Mich., defeated the most domi-

nant player on the Professional Bowlers Association

Senior Tour at Olympia Lanes to win his second Senior

Tour title of the season.

Sullins defeated Ron Mohr of Eagle River, Alaska,

who was trying for a record-tying fourth title this sea-

son, 246-221, in the championship match.

Its hard enough to win one title in a season, much

less two, said Sullins, who won the Senior Sun Bowl

in the Villages earlier this season. Thats especially

true when you have to beat someone like Ron whos

having an unbelievable year.

Mohr, who did not compete in last weeks USBCSenior Masters, got off to the early lead in the title

match throwing five strikes before leaving the 1-2-4-7

in the sixth frame and failing to convert the spare.

I had a lapse in concentration and never got back in

the moment, said Mohr, I was having such a good

time that I probably let the emotion get the best of me.

Sullins, who is also a five-time winner on the PBA

Tour, knew the importance of taking advantage of

Mohrs misfortune.

I knew if I could just double after Rons open it

would turn the match around, said Sullins whose first

Senior Tour title came in the 2009 PBA Senior World

Championship. I had to draw on all of my experience

making adjustments throughout the whole tournament

to make the shots I needed in the semifinal and title

matches.

In the semifinals, Sullins defeated hometown favorite

and 2008 USBC Senior Masters winner Kenny Parks ofHammond, 246-189, while Mohr eliminated Hall of

Famer and four-time Senior Player of the Year Tom

Baker of King, N.C., 258-228.

Dale Eagle Wins PBA Senior Decatur OpenThis 12th Career Senior Tour Title Win ties him for second on

Senior Tour career titles listBy Jerry Schneider - PBA

Joe Kearney 290-1009 at Holiday

DECATUR, Ill. Dale Eagle of Tavares,

Fla., won the Professional Bowlers

Association Senior Decatur Open to notch

his 12th career Senior Tour title putting

him in a tie for second on the all-time

Senior Tour wins list.

The 65 year-old Eagle, who was induct-

ed into the PBA Hall of Fame in January,

defeated Kent Wagner of Palmetto, Fla.,

223-186, in the title match at Spare Time

Lanes.

I was trying to be perfect on every shot

and maybe too perfect, said Eagle. It

was a tough shot where I had to play a

straighter line. It was one of those tourna-

ments where you needed some breaks to

win and I got a lot of breaks in match

play.

Eagle, a three-time winner on the PBA

Tour, is tied for second with Gary

Dickinson on the Senior Tour all-time wins

list and both bowlers trail career titles

leader John Handegard with 14.

Eagles win was his first in two years with his

last title coming in the 2009 Senior Miller High

Life Classic. His previous best finish this season

was sixth in the Senior Don Carter Open.

Ive had some health issues especially with

my knees and back and Im working hard on get-

ting in better shape, said Eagle, the 1999 PBA

Senior Player of the Year and 1996 Senior

Rookie of the Year. Im working hard on my

game and learning a lot from the younger guys.

Norm Duke has helped me work out a problem

with my release.

In the semifinals, Eagle defeated Harry Sullins

of Chesterfield Township, Mich., 192-171, to

advance to the championship match. Sullins was

trying for his second consecutive and third win

overall this season. In the other semifinal,

Wagner, a two-time PBA Tour winner, defeated

Dave Axon of Bellevue, Neb., 237-194. Both

players were trying for their first Senior Tour win.
