Times Advocate, 1994-04-06, Page 7Easter egg hunt Zurich bowling By Ron Dann ZURICH - Bluewater Associa- tion's Laurel Laughton of Fullarton was hoping to win a second singles title in the 30th Stroh's Ontario Open at Hamilton's 48 -lane Sher- wood Centre last weekend. She had previously won the 1991 Ontario ladies title for London. Laughton's first step was to fin- ish in the top 50 percent of the 72 Stroh's singles competitors. Wednesday, she made a cut of 1,225 with a 1,227 score. She knew a supreme effort and some good breaks were needed to finish in the top five stepladder qualifiers. The effort was there but not the breaks and she finished with a 10 -game 2,428 pinfall, 242 behind the 2,670 fifth place score. Only the top five ladies and top five men rcach the stepladder finals. Grey -Bruce Bill Korz, from Owen Sound, 1985 Ontario fittest, scored an outstanding 3,077 10 - game pinfall to lead the Stroh's men's qualifying round but lost the Stroh's sudden death final steplad- der game 299-260 to Bay of Quinte's Shawn McOhie in front of 500 cheering fans. McGhie aver- aged 281 per game in charging up from sixth place with four consecu- tive match wins to claim the 1994 Stroh's Ontario Open Men's title. The other five Bluewater singles bowlers, Zurich Association's San- dra Dickers and Sheona Baker, Sea- forth's Murray Bennewies, Gode- rich's Art Burt and Mount Forest's Bob MacDonald missed the cut. In the 24 -zone, 456 -bowler, Stroh's Ontario Open Team Cham- pionships, Toronto took the Ladies tide, York -West easily captured the Men's Division and Hamilton won the Mixed team title. • Bluewater's three teams, includ- ing 19 bowlers from Mount Forest to Crediton, finished well down in the final standings in their respec live divisions.
