| HAMMER TAKES FIRST 2003 PWBA TOUR TITLE | |

“Cara’s a fighter and if I had relaxed for even one shot, she would have been on my back,” said Milligan. “I just put my game face on and depended on the Diesel Particle and Diesel Reactive Pearl to give me predictable, consistent shots.” Milligan’s road to victory was not an easy one. She needed a 214-213 decision over Carol Gianotti-Block in the 40th preliminary game on Saturday, July 5th, to secure a spot on the televised finals. On Sunday’s finals, Milligan defeated Tiffany Stanbrough, Tish Johnson, Dede Davidson and lastly, Cara Honeychurch, and took home $15,000 for her efforts. Called “Ten Pen” by her peers, Milligan is in her fourth year on Tour and has captured three national victories: 2000 U.S. Open, 2000 Players Championship and the 2003 Greater Memphis Open. A former member of Team USA’s national team, 26-year-old Milligan has been bowling since age three. Milligan has traveled with Hammer pro staffer Kendra Gaines for 2 and a half years and her husband, Jason, bowls on Hammer Bowling’s regional staff. ### |
