Professional Bowlers Association

Starting a match with two open frames isn't usually the formula for success in professional bowling. But that was the pattern Dave D'Entremont followed to win the PBA's most prestigious title, the $300,000 Brunswick World Tournament of Champions.

D'Entremont, Middleburg Heights, Ohio, overcame a pair of open frames at the beginning of the championship match and defeated tournament leader Dave Arnold, Gilbert Ariz., 215-202, to earn his fifth career title, $60,000, a Bayliner boat, motor and trailer package and five-year exemption into the Brunswick World Tournament of Champions.

"This more than makes up for any bad breaks I've gotten on TV or any of the frustrations I've experienced in my career," said D'Entremont. "They say if you make enough shows, everything evens out and everything evened out in one fell swoop."

Needing a mark in the 10th frame to seal the win, Arnold opened the door by leaving the 4-6-7 split. D'Entremont, needing a strike and nine pins in the 10th to win, struck on all three shots to secure the biggest title of his career and left Arnold with the second place check worth $33,000.

D'Entremont entered the championship round as the fifth seed and began his title run with a 259-246 win over Justin Hromek. He then defeated Bryan Goebel, 258-227, and Danny Wiseman, 239224, to get his shot at Arnold.

Hromek, Andover, Kansas, earned $12,000 for fifth. Goebel, Shawnee, Kan., collected $18,000 for fourth and Wiseman, Baltimore, received $24,000 for third.

Prior to the telecast, a team of United States pros successfully defended the Reichert Cup against a team of international stars by winning the team event of the competition, 677-612 (three-game Baker format). The U.S. team led going into the team event 10-6, but 11 points were needed to win the Cup. The U.S. team collected five points for winning the team event and now has won the Reichert Cup both years the competition has been held.
