ARLINGTON, Texas - Kerry Painter of Fairbanks, Alaska, is enjoying a memorable year on the lanes and added another high- light to the reel last week with a win at the inaugural International Training and Research CenterSuper Senior Classic. Painter, who won a roll-off forthe No. 1 seed in the finals, defeated Pete McCordic of Katy, Texas, 197-179, at the ITRC to take home the championship tro- phy and $3,000 top prize. McCordic earned $2,250 for sec- ond place. Neither player was able to dou- ble in the f irst nine frames of the finale, but Painter held a slight lead heading into the final frame. After McCordic failed to strike in the 10th, Painter needed a mark forthe win and delivered three strikes. "I watched the pair as they were bowling, and aftergetting to practice on it, I thought I needed a big number," Painter said. "The backends tightened up quickly, and it got tough. The 10th frame was scary, but I knew I could do it. It was what you want bowl- ing to be. It was competitive and came down to exe- cution." The championship round kicked off with Paul McCordic of Sugar Land, Texas, defeating Willie Wells of Plano, Texas, 201-176, leading to a battle between Paul and his twin brother, Pete. Pete pre- vailed, 235-197, before eliminating Don Blatchford of Santa Monica, Calif., 212-185, to reach the final. Earlier in the day, the cashers round to determine the stepladderfinalists ended in dramatic fash- ion as Painter and Blatchford tied for the top spot with a 3,652 total for 16 games. Painter guaranteed himself a place in the title match by downing Blatchford in a one- game roll-off, 219-217. "I didn't lead… until I tied Don on the final shot," Painter said. "My goal coming into it was not to miss any spares and try to get to the top spot to make it a one- match tournament. I was able to stay calm, focus and pick up my spares. This is a huge win forme." Painter's year includes a third-place finish at the USBC Senior Masters in June and victories at the PBA50 Senior/Super Senior Doubles Classic pre- sented by Brunswick and High Roller Super SeniorMasters, which earned him August Bowler-of-the- Month honors from the International Bowling Media Association. The inaugural ITRC Super Senior Classic was open to USBC members age 60 and older. All com- petitors bowled 12 qualifying games over two days before the field was cut to the top eight for the four- game cashers round. The ITRC, located on the International Bowling Campus, is the home of Team USA and Junior Team USA.

LAS VEGAS – The Professional Bowlers Association will take an historic step toward
illustrating the challenges bowlers face when blue dye will be added to the lane condi-
tioning oil for ESPN’s telecasts of five PBA World Series of Bowling championship
events.
PBA worked with its official lane maintenance provider Brunswick to formulate and test
the oil that will be applied exclusively on the pair of Brunswick lanes installed in the South
Point Hotel Exhibit Hall B complex for the World Series of Bowling ESPN-televised finals.
The oil is not a product on the market and is being used only for the WSOB TV shows.
“Throughout its history, it has been difficult to describe the challenges players face in our
sport,” PBA Commissioner Tom Clark said. “How oil is applied to the lane, and how it tran-
sitions as competition progresses, is something no one is able to see with the naked eye,
and those are critical variables in scoring and player strategy.
“For the first time ever, we’re going to add dye to the oil so that bowling fans on site and
watching at home on ESPN will literally be able to see how the pattern of oil looks on the
lane. We are sure it will be educational and insightful for all levels of fans tuning in and
we hope to learn from this experiment and improve it moving forward.”
The dyed oil will debut with the Cheetah Championship which uses the 35-foot PBA
Cheetah oil pattern. The Viper (39 feet), Chameleon (43 feet), and Scorpion
Championships (47 feet) will follow.
The WSOB shows will air on ESPN beginning Dec. 1 at p.m. ET.
