Team USA member, Rhino Page of Clovis, CA found the right combination
to unlock the vault at High Sierra Lanes to win the 5th annual "The BTM" tournament
presented by Bowling This Month. The Sport Certified tournament is conduced each
year in conjunction with the USBC Open Championships using a flat oil pattern
that tests a bowler’s shotmaking skills and patience. Page shot 925 for his winning
4-game score and was closely followed by former Team USA member Dan Nadeau of
Grand Junction, CO. who had a 922. Duane Sandvick, Mandan, ND shot 900 to win
the Senior Singles while Gary Dickinson, Edmond, OK came out on top of a talented
Super Senior division.
Veteran BTM bowlers Anthony Jordan of Sycamore, IL. and Peter Spreadbury, Oak
Forest, IL recorded their first "The BTM" championship as they teamed up to
shot 1747 to earn the $5000 top prize. Ed Roberts, Braintree, MA and Gordan Stran,
Reading, MA teamed up to win the Senior Doubles.
Curtis Woods, Rohnert Park, CA and Lee Brosius, Centreville, VA were successful
in hitting the Peppermill Jackpot when they each had a clean four game block,
no open frames, during the tournament. Each will receive $5000.00 for their $10
investment. The Peppermill Hotel and Casino will continue sponsoring this portion
of the tournament in Albuquerque.
Other 2007 "The BTM" champions include, Tom Hess, Urbandale, IA in 8-game regular
and Terry Leong, Henderson, NV in 8-game Senior division. Jan Schmidt, Naperville,
IL and Keith Garrett, Hainesville, IL teamed up to win the Mixed Doubles. Dan
