Tim Foy Jr. Wins PBA Bowlers Discount Open for Second Career Title
By Russ Mills - PBA
FREDERICK, Md. – Tim Foy Jr. of

PBA Regional title when he defeated Gary
Haines of West Babylon, N.Y., 189-178, in
the title match of the PBA Bowlers

Haines, who was also looking for his sec-
ond PBA title, chose to finish the match last
on the right lane. After Foy failed to strike
in his 10th frame, Haines needed to post a
strike/spare to win, but his first shot went
high, resulting in a split. Foy, whose previ-
ous win came in 2014, earned $2,500 for
the win while Haines pocketed $1,250 as
the runner-up.
In the semifinal matches, Foy defeat-
ed Jeff Ripic of Apalachin, N.Y., 200-
169, while Haines eliminated Ryan

2 SPORTS REPORTER
LAS VEGAS - Since making Team
USA for the first time more than a
decade ago, Shannon O'Keefe has
had her eye on the coveted
QubicaAMF Bowling World Cup.
She watched her teammates hoist
the prestigious trophy three consec-
utive times from 2004-2006 and
then anxiously waited a dozen years
for her opportunity to join them in
the tournament record book.
The 39-year-old right-hander
earned the chance to represent the
United States at the 2018
QubicaAMF World Cup, and she
did not waste the opportunity,
despite one of the most frustrating
and demanding weeks of her career,
both mentally and physically.
O'Keefe's World Cup dream
became a reality at the Sam's Town
Bowling Center as she claimed the
2018 World Cup title with a dramat-
ic 238-236 victory over Malaysia's
Sin Li Jane. It marked the first time
a woman was able to win the World
Cup in her home country.
The win was emotional and bitter-
sweet for O'Keefe, who then looked
on as Team USA's Kyle Troup, the
top seed on the men's side by more
than 350 pins, lost a lopsided cham-
pionship match against Australia's
Sam Cooley, 244-163.
"I have wanted to bowl this tour-
nament for 14 years, and to be able
to bowl in it, let alone win, is a
dream come true," said O'Keefe,
United States, Australia Win Titles at World Cup
who has been a Team USA member
since 2005. "It was a frustrating
week of trying so many different
things, and I'm grateful for the fight
that was instilled in me from a
young age. I never gave up, and
with the help of an amazing coach
and teammate, I was fortunate
enough to win this special event."
Though Sin had a commanding
lead in the women's final, tossing six
strikes in her first seven frames,
O'Keefe rallied with four consecu-
tive strikes, starting in the seventh
frame. A 7 pin on her second offer-
ing in the final frame slowed
O'Keefe's momentum, but it forced
Sin to get any spare and a strike to
win by a single pin.
Sin left, and converted, the 6-10
combination to start her 10th frame,
but her final shot drifted high, leav-
ing behind the 4-6-10 split, which
secured the victory for O'Keefe and
gave Malaysia its second consecu-
tive runner-up finish at the event.
"This was an emotional week and
something I can learn a lot from,"
O'Keefe said. "My mental tough-
ness is something I've really worked
on, and that includes being able to
gather information, move past the
bad and then take the good and be
able to apply it. That's exactly what
I did today. I put myself in position
to win, and it worked out in my
favor."
O'Keefe experienced some close
calls on the way to the World Cup
title, which included qualifying sev-
enth for the eight-player round-
robin match-play portion of the
event and fourth for the four-player
semifinal round, thanks to closing
games of 227 and 247.
The reigning Professional
Women's Bowling Association
Player of the Year earned her meet-
ing with Sin, a fellow PWBA cham-
pion, by defeating top-seeded Nadia
Nuramalina of Indonesia, 247-202.
Sin topped 2018 PWBA Tour
Championship winner Maria Jose
Rodriguez of Colombia, 207-166.
Troup's path to the title tilt fea-
tured few obstacles. He was able to
use the same two balls for all 40
games leading up to the semifinals,
he rolled a perfect game during
qualifying - the 75th in tournament
history - and he topped the leader-
board from start to finish.
In his two championship-round
matches, Troup found the need to
use a ball he hadn't thrown all week,
which worked out well in a 264-216
semifinal win over nine-time World
Cup participant Andres Gomez of
Colombia, but he never was able to
get anything going in the final
against Cooley.
Troup's final game included a 7-
10 split, two 9 pins - one of which
he missed - and a 4-9 split. Cooley
struck on his first four shots, and
eight times in the first nine frames,
to put the match away early. The
Australian entered the final stage as
the No. 2 seed, finishing the 40
games 366 pins behind Troup.
"My heart hurts for Kyle,"
O'Keefe said. "He was so dominant
all week - a cool customer and so
focused. He also was an awesome
teammate for me, especially since I
was struggling. He was there pick-
ing me up every night and talking
through surface adjustments and
lane play. He kept checking in on
me and was such a stable support for
me. This one is going to sting for a
bit, but, hopefully, he can look at all
the good this week and realize one
game won't define him."
O'Keefe became the ninth woman
from the United States to win the
World Cup, and she was the first to
do so since her Team USA team-
mates - Shannon Pluhowsky, Lynda
Barnes and Diandra Asbaty - won
three consecutive times from 2004-
2006. The win marked the record
20th World Cup title for the United
States.
Had Troup been able to finish the
job, it would've been the second
time in 54 years of World Cup his-
tory a country swept both titles, a
feat Sweden accomplished in 1986.
Additionally, it would've been the
third back-to-back victories for the
Team USA men (1966-1967 and
2007-2008) and second time for a
Team USA man to win the event in
the United States. That first was
accomplished by Robert Worrall in
1981. Jakob Butturff claimed the
cup for Team USA in Hermosillo,
Mexico, in 2017.
A first-time Team USA member,
this week marked Troup's debut in a
Team USA jersey. From here, he'll
use this experience in helping the
team find success at the upcoming
2018 World Bowling Men's
Championships in Hong Kong.
"I couldn't have asked for too
much better of a first event with
Team USA, other than to win, of
course," Troup said. "It was an
incredible experience, from bowling
well and leading the tournament to
meeting new fans and players from
other countries. Sam bowled a great
final game and deserves to be the
champion, but I'll also take a lot
away from this week. I learned a lot
while working with Rod (Ross), and
I'm excited to go to the World
Championships. Even though this
one ended how it did and got away
from me, I think we'll get it back in
Hong Kong."
With the win, Cooley became the
second man from Australia to claim
the World Cup, joining Jason
Belmonte, who won in
Johannesburg, South Africa, in
2011. Australia has won the
women's title six times, most recent-
ly in 2007 to end Team USA's quest
for four consecutive titles.
Cooley was equally dominant in
his semifinal match against 2006
World Cup champion Osku
Palermaa of Finland, winning 240-
November 28 - December 4, 20188
203. Cooley, a 27-year-old right-
hander, again struck on eight of his
first nine shots to outdistance
Palermaa.
"I really don't have any words for
how this panned out in the end,"
said Cooley, who dedicated his win
to his grandmother Maria, who died
recently. "I was very happy to just
make the show, and to go on and
win it is indescribable. It's an amaz-
ing feeling."
This year's World Cup was the
second of Cooley's career, an oppor-
tunity he earned by winning the
Australian Open early in 2018. His
World Cup debut came in Shanghai
in 2016, where a disappointing fin-
ish left him in seventh place.
Though the United States did not
win both titles at Sam's Town, Team
USA's overall performance was
enough to win another coveted
award given to the country with the
best combined finish.
"One of our goals was the country
award, so earning that is incredibly
special, too," Team USA head coach
Rod Ross said. "It was great to see
Shannon really turn it on today and
come through in the end, but defi-
nitely disappointing for Kyle to
bowl so well all week and come up
short. Sam bowled that title match
really well and earned it. Overall, it
was a great week. It's tough with so
many games and moves and coun-
tries. It's quite a grind. I'm pleased
with how the team did, and we'll
take this as a positive, especially as
we head to Hong Kong for the
World Championships."
All players this week bowled 24
qualifying games over three days
(eight games each day), before the
field was cut to the top 24 men and
top 24 women, based on their 24-
game pinfall totals. The advancing
players bowled eight additional
games, before their 32-game totals
determined the eight bowlers for
match play.
Match play participants bowled
eight games of round-robin match
play, and 40-game pinfall totals,
including 30 bonus pins for each
match won, determined the four
semifinalists in each division.

Even more noticeable has been his involvement in support of the Juvenile

Type 1 diabetes in 2008. Chris and Lynda played a key role in the formation of
Strike Out Diabetes within six months of Troy’s diagnosis, and they have devot-

Clark a note:
“I sat in the airport after getting off the plane, before going through customs
or anything to have WiFi,” Anderson noted. “Thank you so much. I had two
agents asked if I was okay because I had tears in my eyes at the airport so that’s
embarrassing. Really appreciate the way you explained my year, quote the
heartbreak in Indy, but could only go up from there.”
