July/August 2021 - www.bowlingworld.com 19 (From page 18) PWBA Greater Nashville Open O‘Keefe won the season-opening PWBA Bowlers Journal Classic in January. Noreiks made her second championship-round appearance of the season Saturday after posting a third-place finish at the PWBA Greater Cleveland Open in May. She was looking for her second career title but fell behind in the opening match after a 7-10 split in the fourth frame. She followed the open with three consecutive strikes, but spares in the eighth and ninth frames kept Crawley ahead in the match. The 73-player field in Smyrna bowled 12 games Friday, before the first cut to the top 32 athletes. Advancers bowled an additional six-game block Saturday morning, with the top 12 competing in a final six-game round to determine the four bowlers for the stepladder, based on 24-game pinfall totals. The PWBA Tour will return to Louisville, Kentucky, next week for the PWBA Louis- ville Open. The event will be held at Executive Strike and Spare and take place June 17-19. Ukraine‘s Dasha Kovalova is the defending champion at the event. 2021 PWBA Greater Nashville Open At Smyrna Bowling Center, Smyrna, TN.
