2010 Main Event Handicap Singles

champ Jerome Jordan Jr & runner-up Steven Fentiman

    Jerome Jordan Jr., Carson CA, defeated Steven Fentiman, Oceanside CA, 234-221, to capture the $2,000 top scholarship prize as champion of the Handicap Singles event of the Under-22 World Championships, presented by Ebonite International, Texas Station, and the Junior Bowlers Tour.

    Nine year-old Courtney Boniecki, the #14 seed, opened up the bracket-style stepladder finals with a 209 game that defeated three other opponents to advance.  In simultaneous action, #13 Brandon Pekins emerged from another four-way match to reach round two.  In the second round, Boniecki was good again, eliminating #6 Stacey Shigekane and #8 Curt Wong.  In the other bracket, #7 Vincent Nolan, the 8-game qualifying leader, beat Pekins and #5 David Espinda to advance.  Boniecki kept rolling with a 202-182 win over #4 Gabriel Fukumoto in round three, while #3 Cory Koyanagi stopped Nolan 255-158.  The top seeds then came in and showed why they were there, as #1 Jordan beat Boniecki 227-206, and #2 Fentiman edged Koyanagi 204-201 to set up the 1-vs-2 title match.

    The finale came down to the final frame, as Fentiman's tenth frame mark forced Jordan to get 9 pins on two balls for the win.  Jerome's first shot left the 2-10, which meant he only needed one of those pins to get the win.  Jordan didn't look at the scoreboard though, and thinking he might need the spare, went for it-and made it- to wrap up the win-- of course, making the 2-10 means that he came about 1/4 inch away from missing them both, and thus losing the tournament- wow!

          Thanks as always to everyone for participating, as well as Jerry Francomano and his terrific staff at Texas Station for hosting us, and Ebonite International for continuing their invaluable sponsorship of our Tour.  Please help us spread the word as we prepare an even bigger and better Main Event in 2011!
