*** AEMISEGGER WINS FIFTH AT RYNISH ***
Curt Aemisegger won his fifth ABT Masters title with a 282-186 romp over Dave Palojarvi, Sr. in our Kick Off tournament at Rynish Bowling Center. Curt qualified fifth for the top eight finals, then dominated his opponents as he advanced by defeating Steve Lewis 251-196 and Keith Garrett 237-194. Dave Palojarvi, Sr. qualified fourth and he too registered strong wins over Rich Caduto 207-187 and Scott Safransky 258-212 to set up what looked like a whale of a championship match. It started out to be just that as both bowlers struck in the first three frames. A "big four" in the fourth frame seemed to take the wind out of Palojarvi's sails just a little, but Aemisegger never missed a beat, taking a perfect game into the tenth frame. Aemisegger lost the perfect game in the tenth, but of course the match was over by then and he was perfectly happy to settle for his fifth title by the final score of 282-186.

We couldn't agree more!
