Ageless Walter Ray Williams Jr. Paces
Viper Championship) I didn’t; today I did. I still have to shoot a lot
tomorrow (in the Bowlers Journal Scorpion Championship) to
sneak into top 24 (the match play field for PBA World Champion-
ship is based on 32 games – eight games in each of four ―animal
pattern‖ events), but it’s possible.‖
Williams said he’s well aware of his advancing years, but right
now, coming from the East Coast to the Pacific time zone has
been a bigger pain.
―
I’ve been waking up at 3 or 4 a.m. every night. I’m still on
Eastern time,‖ he said, ―so I think I’ll go take a nap.
―
I’ve got a few aches and pains,‖ he added. ―(Sunday) night my
shoulder ached, but I woke up this morning and felt fine. It’s not
uncommon. I’ve dealt with that for a long time, not just the past
few years, and it doesn’t seem to affect my play. Actually, most of
my body parts are still pretty decent.‖
With 47 titles, more than $4 million in career earnings and
more PBA records than any player in PBA history, what’s left for
him to accomplish?
―
Win another title,‖ he said matter-of-factly. ―Not a Senior Tour
title. A regular one. That would be nice, especially after last year.
That was definitely a negative on my radar.‖
After three rounds of PBA World Championship qualifying,
Sean Rash of Montgomery, Ill., maintained his lead, averaging at
a 241.12 pace for a 24-game total of 5,787 pins, 60 pins ahead of
Tommy Jones of Simpsonville, S.C. Chris Loschetter of Avon,
Ohio, was third with 5,699.
