Daniel Chapman outlasted Chris Gibbons 238-232 to win the Survivor finals of the MAST event at Leisure Lanes in Monroe Sunday. The victory was Chapman’s first career MAST title.
Chapman earned $453 for the win, with Gibbons taking home $259 for second. The other payouts Sunday were $186 for 3rd-4th, $143 for 5th-8th, and $106 for 9th-12th.
Chapman was one of 12 Leisure house bowlers among the 40 participants who braved Sunday’s winter weather to compete on Leisure’s house shot. He qualified 3rd at 984 (246 average), and maintained that pace with a 247 average in three games of Survivor round play en route to the win. Fellow Leisure house bowler Dylon Wilde accounted for the day’s only honor score with a 300 in the final game of qualifying.
The cut after four games of qualifying was 920. Mike Hoffman followed up a 203 start with games of 279, 277, and 279 to lead qualifying at 1038, and will receive 25 bonus points in the M & J Truck and Auto Points Race for his effort.
Tour co-sponsor M & J Truck and Auto Repair added $250 to the tournament prize fund. Host center Leisure Lanes provided a lineage discount, and provided several items for raffle. Combined proceeds from these totaled an additional $423 in the prize fund. MAST extends a huge Thank You to our sponsors for their generosity.
