Doug Kent defeated Chris Barnes 237-216 to claim the PBA Denny's World Championship in Grand Rapids, Mich., Sunday.

Kent became just the sixth bowler in PBA tour history to win two majors in one season. He won the season-opening USBC Masters.

To get to the championship match, Barnes defeated Tony Reyes 246-226, while Kent topped Danny Wiseman 235-219.

The win was huge for Kent, who earned $50,000 and a four-season exemption on the tour. Barnes earned $25,000, while Wiseman and Reyes earned $13,000 and $10,000 respectively.

The PBA tour wraps up the 2007 season Sunday with the 2007 PBA Tournament of Champions. ESPN will televise the finals at 1 p.m. Sunday.

The 45th annual St. Clair Lanes team tournament is under way. The event, which takes place in St. Clairsville, Ohio, runs through July 29 and is well worth the trip.I bowled with some good friends and my son this past weekend, and, even though I struggled, it still was a good time.If you're going, expect some tough scoring conditions, although someone rolled a 299 game in one of the squads that I bowled in.The entry fee is still very reasonable at $140 per five-person team. I also want to thank Jim McCune for putting together the arrangements for us to bowl in the event.There are plenty of ways to make money with the side pots, but the actual payouts for the team finishes are pretty good. The winning team in the handicap division last year rolled a 3464 score and earned $8,000. Prize money is paid out for individual scores as well, and both scratch and handicap scores count toward prizes.For information, grab an application at any Butler County bowling center or call 800-662-3641.
