During the first day of double-elimination match-play in the 2025 USBC Senior Masters on Friday, he defeated defending champion Jon Rakoski 751-600 then Pete Weber 696-600 inside Sam’s Town Bowling Center to advance in the winner’s bracket.

Fifth seed Mika Koivuniemi rolled through both of his matches with 693 and 709. He will face #44 Anthony “Tony” Franklin. The winner of that match will face the winner of #13 Ricky Schissler against #61 Butch Cormier. Cormier had one of the biggest upsets of the day when he knocked #4 John Janawicz into the contender’s bracket with a 643-641 win.

On the right side of the winner’s bracket, #62 Dave Paffumi defeated #3 Tom Adcock 770-750 and remained on fire as he defeated #30 Tom Hess 713-697. He will now face #51 Michael Hartter. Number 11 Andy Neuer shot 762 and 776 to win his first two matches to now face #6 George Aboud. The winner of that match will face the winner of Paffumi vs. Hartter. 

The final two winner’s bracket matches will include #39 Patrick Shipley against #55 Brian Link and #15 Don Smith against #2 Tom Daugherty. Smith shot 751 and 737 to win his matches, while Daugherty had 729 and 660 in his USBC Senior Masters debut.
