Fayetteville, N.C. – Trevor Roberts of Crystal River, Fla. defeated Dick Allen of Lexington, S.C., 236-208, to win the 17th annual PBA Fayetteville South Open presented at Lafayette Lanes on Sunday.

In the opening match, Allen defeated Crawley easily with a perfect game 300-203. Allen then disposed of Tarkington 254-199 to advance to the Championship match. 

In the title match, Allen had early opens in the second and fifth frames which made the victory even easier for Roberts who started out with a double spare double.
