Wayne Webb's 15-month winless stretch came to an end when he defeated Roy Buckley, 247-191, to win the $95,000 Waukegan Open. Webb, who had last won during the Greater Hartford Open on the 1981 Winter Tour, struck in six of the first eight frames of the title game after gaining the right to challenge Buckley by stopping rival Steve Martin, 193-171. Martin was on a roll early in the championship round, whizzing past defending champion Ted Hannahs, 225-201, and veteran Mike Durbin, 257-237. Webb was also a winner in Waukegan in 1979. He had four runnerup finishes in his winless period, including three in successive tournaments at one point, until giving himself a 25th birthday present with his ninth PBA championship.
