MICHIGAN MAJORS

 

Terry Syring of Bay City won the Budweiser Michigan Majors Tournament of Champions at Taylor Lanes with a 255-234 triumph over Tony Buck of Rockford .

 

Syring won the top prize of $1,500 after qualifying second with  ten-game total of 2,440, one pin shy of Buck. In the semi-final match Syring beat Ken Wyatt of Sterling Heights 238-179.

 

Buck settled for $750.

 

The stepladder finals began with Dale Hofmeister of Essexville defeating Nunzio Marino of Livonia 265-235 before falling to Wyatt 258-192.
