Steve Jaros made all the right choices in his first appearance in the televised championship round and came away with victory in the $200,000 Choice Hotels International Summer Classic at Boulevard Bowl. Leading qualifier Jaros, Bolingbrook, Ill., defeated third-seeded Andy Neuer of Milton, Pa., 202-189, and collected the $38,000 first prize plus a week's expense-paid trip for two to the Clarion Resort (a Choice Hotels property) in Orlando, Fla.

The championship game was tightly contested throughout, with an open fifth frame by Neuer providing a 13-pin bulge in Jaros' favor, but Neuer cut that lead to one pin in the eighth frame with a triple. Jaros struck in the ninth and closed with a spare and seven-count, allowing Neuer the opportunity to claim his first PBA title. But the left-handed Neuer's first ball sailed wide, leaving the 3-6-7 split and he had to settle for the $20.000 check as runner-up.

In the first game of ABC Sports' final broadcast of '91, Tom Crites defeated Dave Ferraro, Kingston, N.Y., 221-201. Ferraro became 0-9 since winning the 1990 Firestone Tournament of Champions. Neuer then came in and stopped Crites, Tampa, Fla., 182-151. Crites collected $8,000 for fourth place.

Norm Duke then came on in his fourth consecutive appearance among the final five, looking for his third title of the year. Neuer proved too strong in their match-up and advanced against the Albuquerque, N.M., pro, 192-170. Duke earned $11,000 for his third-place finish.
