Stefanie Johnson Leads PWBA Player Of The
Year Race Heading Into PWBA Minnesota Open
By Lucas Wiseman
WELCH, Minn. - After a consistent start to the season, Professional Women's Bowling
Association Tour points leader Stefanie Johnson of Grand Prairie, Texas, will look to con-
tinue her momentum heading into the PWBA Minnesota Open this week.
Johnson is the player to beat in the PWBA Player of the Year and PWBA Rookie of the
Year race with four events remaining on the schedule. The PWBA stops in Welch, Minne-
sota, this week at Island Xtreme Bowl.
The players will take part in 12 games of qualifying Friday before the top 16 advance to
round-robin match play Saturday. The event concludes with the stepladder finals at 6:30
p.m. Central on Saturday. All rounds will be broadcast live on Xtra Frame.
Johnson, who finished sixth at the PWBA Lincoln Open last week, is the only player on
the PWBA Tour to advance to match play in all six events this season and leads the points
list with 51,675. PWBA Tour spokesperson Kelly Kulick of Union, New Jersey, is second in
points with 42,000. The points list is used to determine PWBA Player and Rookie of the
Year honors.
"I credit my success on the lanes due to my personal life being in a great place and truly
having the opportunity to enjoy myself and just bowl," said Johnson, who won the PWBA
Wichita Open earlier this season. "I make an effort to keep an even keel regardless of how
things are going and I feel this is a key
factor week to week - my highs aren't too
high and my lows aren't too low."
The PWBA Tour ceased operations in
2003 and has been rejuvenated this year
thanks to the support from the bowling
industry. The PWBA Minnesota Open is
one of 11 events being held this season.
