LAS VEGAS – Parker Bohn III of Jackson, New Jersey, and Andy Neuer of Milton, Pennsylvania, earned the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds respectively for Sunday’s main stepladder finals at the 2026 United States Bowling Congress Super Senior Classic.
Bohn, a 62-year-old left-hander, led Group A after six games of match play Saturday at Sam’s Town Bowling Center, posting a 4-2 record. The USBC and Professional Bowlers Association Hall of Famer totaled 6,136 for his 24 games, including 30 bonus pins for each victory. He outdistanced Neuer, who was Group B’s top qualifier, by an impressive 396 pins.
Bohn has been dominant the entire tournament, setting scoring records for six games (1,550 – 258.3 average), 12 games (2,977 – 248.1 average) and 18 games (4,527 – 251.5 average) prior to the start of match play. He finished with a tournament average of 250.7.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve been that dominant for three days in a row, it really and truly has,” Bohn said. “That said, it will only be complete if I can bowl 10 more solid frames. As I mentioned previously, I’ve had a lot of success in this event and in this venue, but I’ve never been able to walk away victorious. I want to go all the way this time.”
Neuer started Saturday in 13th place and moved up to eighth after Saturday morning’s cashers’ round. The left-hander continued that momentum into Saturday afternoon’s match play round, going 4-1-1 and averaging 249.6 for his six games, best in the 12-man match play field.
“I made a ball change today to an Outer Limits,” said Neuer. “I moved left with that ball and stayed like 4-5-6 and kept it pretty much up the lane. The ball cleared the fronts on every pair, and they played pretty much the same for me all throughout match play. That ball was just perfect today.”
The 206-player field at the 2026 Super Senior Classic was down to 52 players to start competition Saturday, and after a six-game cashers’ round, the top 12 bowlers (based on pinfall for 18 games) advanced to match play.
Competitors were placed into one of two match-play groups. Group A consisted of the qualifiers who placed as an odd seed after the cashers’ round (1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11), while Group B featured the even seeds (2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12).
Each participant in match play added to their 18-game totals as they bowled six head-to-head matches, including a final position round. Each win in match play was worth 30 bonus pins (ties were worth 15 bonus pins).
Bohn, who owns 36 PBA Tour titles, 11 PBA50 Tour titles and one PBA60 victory, will wait in the wings Sunday morning as the group stepladders conclude and then through the opening matches of the stepladder finals. It’s a position he’s certainly been in before and understands what it takes to win from the top spot.
“I’ll just have to sit around and let the others do their thing,” Bohn said. “There’s going to be some traffic on the left side, so we don’t know what that will ultimately mean. There’s going to be some changes taking place, so I’ll just take it one step at a time and see what happens.”
Neuer was chasing Bohn and John Marsala all day and finally went around Marsala when he defeated him in the final match of the day, 258-217.
“After Game 4 of match play, I was 50-some pins back and I thought I might have a shot to catch him (Marsala) for second,” Neuer said. “John’s ball reaction in match play wasn’t the same as it had been. He hit the pocket a lot but just couldn’t figure out a way to get his ball through the pins. He’s my roommate out here and I feel sorry for him because I know how that feels. We’re very close friends, so that’s tough.”
Neuer will be looking for his first senior national win and his first national win since taking home his lone PBA Tour title at the 1994 Bud Light Hall of Fame Championship in St. Louis.
“It would mean a lot to win again after all these years,” Neuer said. “I made a couple Senior Masters shows early in my 50s and then I didn’t bowl out here for seven years. Then, about two or three years ago, my daughter (Alexis) paid my dues and said that I needed to be out here again. I wouldn’t be here if she hadn’t done that.”
While Bohn and Neuer secured their spots in the finals, six other competitors remained in contention for the title at the 2026 Super Senior Classic.
The second-, third- and fourth-place finisher in each match-play group advanced to a group stepladder, which will begin Sunday at noon Eastern at Sam’s Town and will determine the No. 3 and 4 seeds for the main stepladder finals.
In the group stepladder, the bowlers in the third and fourth position in each group will face each other in a single-elimination match, with the winner advancing to take on the competitor in the second position. The winners of the final match in the group stepladder will advance to Sunday’s main stepladder and face each other in the opening match Sunday, starting at 2 p.m. Eastern.
Finland’s Timo Raatikainen, who finished tied for seventh in this event last year, is the lone right-hander in the Group A stepladder as he qualified fourth (5,516 total pins). He will face C.K. Moore of Paris, Texas, in the opening match of the Group A stepladder. Moore, who shot a televised 300 game en route to winning his lone PBA Tour title back in 1996 at the Columbia 300 Open in Austin, Texas, qualified third (5,646).
The winner of that opening match will take on John Austin Jr. of League City, Texas, who will be after his first national title. Austin won his last three games of match play with scores of 279, 250 and 278 (807 series) to claim the No. 2 seed in Group A (5,688).
Marsala, a 63-year-old left-hander from St. Louis, captured this title in 2023 and is looking to join Ron Mohr as the only two-time winners of the event since its inception in 2013. He finished as the No. 2 seed in Group B (5,707).
Marsala will await the winner of the Group B opening match between Jerry Brunette of Immokalee, Florida (third – 5,659) and Ricky Schissler of Brighton, Colorado (fourth – 5,594). Brunette, a left-hander, and Schissler, a two-handed right-hander, were in fourth and fifth place respectively with just one game remaining. Each player shot 268 in that last game to win their respective matches and move up one spot each to claim the final two spots in the Group B stepladder.
Brunette rolled just the second 300 game of the tournament during the last game of Saturday morning’s cashers’ round.
Defending champion James Campbell of Loudon, Tennessee, missed the cut to match play and finished 19th.
After the conclusion of the Super Senior Classic, the top bowlers age 50 and older will take to the lanes at Sam’s Town for the 2026 USBC Senior Masters.
The Senior Masters is the third major championship on the 2026 PBA50 Tour schedule and will be held from June 1-7.
