Sun City - - -Congrats to Michael Fitzgerald for picking up CBE career title #2 after defeating Bryan Hahlen for the title.
The Inaugural CBE Masters presented by Ten Back Bowling Solutions had 45 bowlers competing for the CBE Masters title and $1,500.
Bowlers bowled 7 games of qualifying on the brutal and always challenging Kegel Red Square pattern. After qualifying we cut to the top 8 players for a double elimination bracket (winners matches were 2 games, total pinfall; losers matches were 1 game matches). Once down to the final 4, the players moved to a step-ladder finals.
The first match saw Chad Jovich defeat Jak Ob Aaron 212-165.
The second match saw Bryan Hahlen defeat Jovich 222-207
The titel match saw Michael Fitzgerald take down Bryan Hahlen for the title, the $1,500 top prize and the CBE Masters Eagle.
Thank you to all of the great sponsors for helping us kick off 2023 with a solid event. Ten Back Bowling Solutions, Chuck's Painting LLC - ROC# 300507, EFX and Brunswick Bowling
Stay tuned for details on the next event, which will be January 22nd at Bowlero Kyrene (this will be a NON points event due to some bowlers not having the opportunity to bowl if they make the finals of the PBA Regional).
