ARLINGTON, Texas – When Andrew Granite of Elverta, California, walked into Country Club Lanes in Sacramento on Nov. 10, he had one goal in mind: He wanted to shoot a three-game series of at least 720 because that would raise his average from 231 to 232 and further solidify his position as average leader in the Lucky Bowler High Roller league.

There is a good reason why. After going 2 for 2 the past two years, he has bowled in the tournament, he has a third-place finish. And won the event last month.

The Minnesota native outlasted a strong tournament field. That included Arizona bowlers: Brett Wolfe, and Cortez Schenck. And PBA Stars Kyle Troup and Anthony Simonsen.
