Ron Williams again returned to the friendly confines of Gable House Bowl and came away with his third PBA title and requalified for the Tournament of Champions by capturing the $200,000 AC-Delco Classic. In kicking off the PBA's 1993 tournament tour, Williams also earned the inaugural "King of the Hill" distinction with his victory.

Williams, Fort Worth, Texas, defeated second-seeded Mark Williams (no relation) of Beaumont, Texas, 225-193, for the $42,000 first prize and guaranteed his appearance as "King of the Hill" opposite the Phoenix Open winner.

Ron Williams started the AC-Delco championship game with a double, spare and double to forge a 30-pin lead after five frames and closed with a turkey for his second AC-Delco title at Gable House (his last win also was earned in Torrance in 1990). Mark Williams suffered open fourth and eighth frames, which spelled his $22,000 runnerup payday.

The 1993 opening championship round started with Tony Westlake defeating first-time finalist Billy Orlikowski, Marne, Mich., 212-203, and then bettering roommate Dave Ferraro of Kingston, N.Y., 241-228. Mark Williams then stopped Westlake, Edmond, Okla., 212-187, to establish the "all Williams" final.

Westlake earned $13,000 for third place, Ferraro $10,000 for fourth and Orlikowski took home $8,000 for fifth. Ironically, there was no fifth-place finisher on air during the remainder of this past years Winter Tour with the advent of the "King of the Hill.
