The Professional Women\u2019s Bowling Association\u2019s (PWBA)second major event of 2022 will take place thru June 21 at Kingpin\u2019s Alley Family Fun Center in South Glens Falls. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This weeklong event culminates with one bowler winning $60,000 live on CBS Sports Network on June 21.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The U.S. Women\u2019s Open\u00a0is the second\u00a0major championship\u00a0on the 2022\u00a0PWBA Tour schedule.\u00a0The maximum field size for the pre-tournament qualifier\u00a0is 64\u00a0competitors. Participants in the 108-player field earn their spots primarily through invitations based on their on-lane performances during the previous year. Players also can earn their spot through a pre-tournament qualifier before the start of the tournament.<\/p>\n

\u201cBowling enthusiasts throughout the Northeast are beyond excited to have the opportunity to watch these athletes in person,\u201d said Doug Bohannon, owner of Kingpin\u2019s Alley and the president of the NYS Bowling Proprietor\u2019s Association. \u201cWe have a very large league bowling base in the Capital Region, and we continue to bring substantial tournaments to this area to provide our bowlers the chance to watch or even participate at a competitive level\u201d.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span>\u201cThe PWBA U.S. Women\u2019s Open is a major league event in the sport of bowling.\u00a0 <\/span>From the nationwide television coverage, athlete and fan visitation and regional support, this is better than a \u2018perfect game\u2019 for the Lake George economy.\u00a0 <\/span>We are thrilled by the level of competition and economic impact that Kingpin\u2019s Alley continues to bring to the area,\u201d said Gina Mintzer, executive director of the Lake George Regional Convention & Visitors Bureau.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

All qualifying and match-play rounds at the U.S. Women\u2019s Open\u00a0will be available to watch on BowlTV.com. The stepladder finals of the U.S. Women\u2019s Open\u00a0will be broadcast live on CBS Sports Network.<\/p>\n

The 33-year-old Josie Barnes of Hermitage, Tenn., made history last year, as she defeated Singapore\u2019s Cherie Tan, 198-194 at the 2021 U.S. Women\u2019s Open claiming the biggest prize check ever awarded at a professional women\u2019s bowling event. The win was the first major championship, and fourth PWBA Tour title overall, for Barnes, and the $100,000 payday at Double Decker Lanes also included the event\u2019s coveted green jacket and iconic U.S. Women\u2019s Open trophy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This is the first time since 1973 this event has been in New York state.\u00a0 <\/span>Kingpin\u2019s Alley hosted the Albany Open in June 2021 with Kelly Kulick of Union, New Jersey coming out on top.\u00a0 <\/span>Local PWBA bowler, Liz Kuhlkin of Schenectady was defeated by Stefanie Johnson of McKinney, Texas at last week\u2019s PWBA Rockford Open. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Kingpin\u2019s Alley will also be hosting the Kingpin Masters Tournament on Nov.\u00a0 <\/span>5 and 6, providing the winner of this tournament $8,000.<\/p>\n
