USBC Open Sees Its First 300 Game

If you had feverish fantasies of bowling the first perfect game in this year's USBC Open, you can forget it. Barry Zimmerman of Grand Forks, ND beat you to it. He followed it up with 236 and 230 to take the current lead in Regular Singles with a 766 series.

Interestingly, Zimmerman didn't even use his own ball to accomplish his feat. He used a teammate's ball because he could control it better on his pair than he could his own equipment. Lucky for him that he had a teammate whose equipment fits him well and worked well on the pair. You can read more about this story here.

You can no longer be the first to shoot 300 at the Nationals, but if you hurry, you just might be the first to shoot 800. So, hop to it.
