Three solid strikes in the 10th frame gave PBA President Johnny Petraglia his 13th PBA title in the Miller High Life Open by a score of 206-203 over Bill Coleman. Coleman, shooting for his second PBA title, needed a strike in the 10th frame to close out top-seeded Petraglia but left a 4-pin. That left the door slightly open for the 32-year-old lefthander who came through expertly. Coleman had gotten past Earl Anthony, 236-205, in the semi-final game after fifth-seeded Anthony made a rush at the leaders by defeating Dave Frame, 196-183, and Nelson Burton, 248-209. Petraglia earned $15,000.
