Ron Campos
of Seattle, Washington joined the tour
back in 2012 at the Puget Sound Region. He has been
bowling since 2008, his previous best finish being
2nd place.
Ron used his
Hammer First Blood
to earn his title
drilled up by
Pat John at Hi-Line Lanes
in Burien, WA.
He bowls in the South End Law Enforcement Trio at
Roxbury Lanes, Seattle. Ron plans to party with family
and friends with his winnings as well as build his bowl-
ing arsenal. Cheering him on and competing this week-
end was his bowling mentor
Osmond Green
and
cousin Bayani and his wife Carol.
A member of the Seattle Police Department for 31
years, Ron made the trip to Vegas bowl Nationals with
Osmond. He commented he will wear his Vegas Cham-
pionship shirt with pride in Seattle. He would like to
send thanks back home to the Puget Sound Region
and mentioned that he enjoyed meeting the 9-Tap Tour
LV region, staff and bowlers. When he‟s not bowling,
Ron enjoys bike riding with 2 events coming up this
summer totaling 204 miles from Seattle to Portland
over 2 days and another from Seattle to Vancouver, BC
for 189 miles. That‟s a lot of peddling. If anyone in Se-
attle tells you that you tied, you let them know that a
wins a win! Now that you know how to win.....get one
back at home!
Robert Rawling
of Las Vegas has gotten
this winning thing down quite well. Joining
the tour last year, his previous best finish
was 1st place, with all wins coming from
this year alone. Staying with his faith-
ful
Storm Pitch Black
drilled by
Kyle at
K&K Sams Town
, he plans on buying a
new softball bat with his winnings.
As always, his faithful wife was behind
him as he earned his 4thTour Title and a
Gold Champion's shirt. win. Robert men-
tioned that he was very lucky to win today
and that he wasn‟t going to bowl again but
he hit a Royal Flush in between squads
which influenced him to carry on his lucky
day to the lanes. As Robert flew off to his
softball game, he wanted to again thank
the 9-Tap Tour staff for holding the events.
Congrats again..
