Richard DeWitt went from fifth to first at Stardust Bowl to claim his second ABT Masters title. Rich opened the stepladder finals by defeating John Scaletta 260-210. Next up was Mike Pompa, who fell 178-139. In match three, Rich defeated Tom Sawyer 212-188 to advance to the championship match against top seed Rick Hansen. DeWitt got off to a good start in the title match but rails in the fifth and sixth frames allowed Hansen to stay within striking distance. DeWitt finished up first and left another rail in the tenth, opening the door for Hansen who had a strike up in the ninth. Needing the first strike in the tenth, Hansen drilled the hole, only to leave a stone seven pin, leaving DeWitt as the winner by the final score of 181-173.
