Tom Sawyer won his third ABT Masters title by defeating top seed John Sypniewski 221-181 at Stardust Bowl. Tom qualified 4th for the stepladder finals, and started his climb with a 211-172 victory over Carmelo Rosa. He then eliminated Jim Prescott 268-185 and Anthony Weidenfeller 194-163 to advance to the title match. John Sypniewski took the early lead in the championship match, but a "big four" in the fifth frame allowed Tom to pull even. A turkey in frames 7-9 gave Tom a commanding lead that John could not overcome, and Tom went on to win by the final score of 222-181.
