Alex Diercks - Bowling

Days 2 and 3 of the US Open were also quite difficult. No surprise there. I will say that I certainly showed up sharper than I had Day 1. Yet as if to spite my improved strike shots and far greater pocket percentage, I wasted far too many makeable spares. I am proud to have led my pair one day. I’m proud to have made it to this prestigious event. I’m proud to say now from personal experience, this is the hardest tournament I’ve ever bowled.

Day 1 was very challenging. I did not execute at my best until the hole was deep. Glad it was saved, but I know I’ll have to start sharper tomorrow.

Runner-up feels like a pretty successful weekend at the Chicagoland Singles Open.

Biondo made the final match a battle and after leading the field by almost 350 in qualifying, a well deserved victory. Huge congratulations to you!

Recapping Recent Events:
For me, the entire weekend was a battle. From the King of the Hill on Friday finishing only 16 pins away from cash on the same 40’ pattern (Kegel Sphinx) for the main event. Then I was behind the cut until the very last game of qualifying where I pulled out a 300 to seal a spot in matchplay. Until Sunday when started with a one lost game followed by 5 consecutive wins to survive best of 3 matches until the championship match. I lost my first game of the final match by only 6 pins, won the next with a 278, and finally lost for the runner-up finish.
