Runner-up feels like a pretty successful weekend at the Chicagoland Singles Open.
Biondo made the final match a battle and after leading the field by almost 350 in qualifying, a well deserved victory. Huge congratulations to you!

Recapping Recent Events:
For me, the entire weekend was a battle. From the King of the Hill on Friday finishing only 16 pins away from cash on the same 40’ pattern (Kegel Sphinx) for the main event. Then I was behind the cut until the very last game of qualifying where I pulled out a 300 to seal a spot in matchplay. Until Sunday when started with a one lost game followed by 5 consecutive wins to survive best of 3 matches until the championship match. I lost my first game of the final match by only 6 pins, won the next with a 278, and finally lost for the runner-up finish.

Just the weekend before I was enjoying a 10th place finish with a 227 average over 20 games at 4 different bowling centers.
