Jurek Wins 'Versatility Swing' Points Competition
Jack Jurek of Lackawanna, N.Y., was a runaway winner in the Versatility Swing points competition, based upon consistency in the five Lumber Liquidators PBA Tour “animal pattern” events held during the World Series of Bowling. Jurek, winner of the Shark Championship, compiled 67,192 points from the Cheetah, Viper, Chameleon, Scorpion and Shark Championships to top Cheetah champion Norm Duke of Clermont, Fla., by nearly 10,000 points. Jason Belmonte was third followed by Wes Malott, Steve Jaros, Sean Rash and Chris Barnes.
Jurek placed ninth in the Cheetah Championship, 23rd in the Viper, sixth in the Chameleon, eighth in the Scorpion and first in the Shark Championship. Rhino Page was Viper champion, Bill O’Neill won the Chameleon title and Mike DeVaney won the Scorpion.
The winners of the five events earned berths in the end-of-season PBA Experience Showdown presented by BOWL.COM which will be held in April in the new USBC International Training Center in Arlington, Texas.
