LAS VEGAS – Parker Bohn III had seen it happen before. He’s even “been there, done that” when it comes to leading a tournament by a large margin only to have the title slip away in the stepladder finals. That said, he was determined not to let it happen to him Sunday in the finals of the 2026 United States Bowling Congress Super Senior Classic at Sam’s Town Bowling Center.
Bohn, of Jackson, New Jersey, defeated fellow left-hander Andy Neuer of Milton, Pennsylvania, 249-244, in the title match to claim his second national win in a 60-and-over event.
It capped a dominant week for the 62-year-old USBC and Professional Bowlers Association Hall of Famer that saw him lead every round while setting event scoring records for six, 12 and 18 games. Bohn averaged a little better than 250 for the tournament (250.7) and led the field by nearly 400 pins (396). It marked the first title for Bohn at Sam’s Town.
“This one means a lot because it’s mission accomplished here at Sam’s Town,” Bohn said. “I was fortunate to bowl well all week. But those scores are gone in a one-game match. Now you have to put up or shut up for those 10 frames in the final match, and I was able to get the job done today.”
Getting the job done wasn’t an easy task against Neuer in a title match that came down to the final frame.
Bohn got out of the gate quickly by starting with strikes in each of his first six frames. Neuer converted the 2-4-7 combination for a spare in Frame 1, struck in Frames 2-4 and converted single-pins spares in Frames 5 (7 pin) and 6 (10 pin).
Bohn’s string of strikes ended in Frame 7 as he converted a single-pin spare (6 pin). He struck in Frame 8 and then converted a 7 pin for a spare in his ninth frame.
Neuer followed his consecutive spares in Frames 5 and 6 with strikes in Frames 7-9 and, finishing the match first, got up in his 10th frame with a chance to put some real pressure on Bohn. If he could strike out in the 10th frame, he would finish with 258 and would force Bohn to throw all three strikes in his 10th frame to win by one pin.
Neuer got the first strike in the 10th, but his second shot went high, leaving the 4-6-10 split.
Bohn, now needing a mark and good count in the 10th for the win, struck on his first shot and finished the match by converting a 7 pin to seal the win.
“When we were practicing before the final match, I felt like I had a little better look on the right lane,” Bohn said. “If it came down to crunch time, I knew I wanted to finish on that lane, so that’s what I decided to do. In the end, I needed a solid mark in the 10th to win, and we all know the best mark is a strike. I was able to put 10 back on that first shot in the 10th.”
Neuer talked about the shot in the 10th that left the 4-6-10 split.
“It was just a bad shot,” Neuer said. “I had some shots earlier in the match that could have struck, but didn’t, so maybe I could have gotten a couple breaks. I got some breaks in my first match (semifinal match against Ricky Schissler), but that one in the 10th was just a bad shot.”
Neuer was seeking his first senior national win and his first national win since taking home his lone PBA Tour title at the 1994 PBA Bud Light Hall of Fame Championship in St. Louis.
During the match, Neuer and Bohn could be seen having friendly conversations with each other after certain shots.
“Andy and I are good friends,” Bohn said. “I’ve been bowling against Andy since before I even came out on the PBA Tour all those years ago. We both got our PBA cards around the same time and competed against each other out there. We’ve got respect for each other on and off the lanes. So, the conversation we were having certainly didn’t bother me.”
“We’ve been friends forever,” Neuer added. “When I congratulated him at the end, I told him that with all the tournaments that he’s led and the heartbreak that he’s had here, he deserved to win this one.”
Bohn collected $8,000 for the win while Neuer earned $6,550 for finishing second.
Sunday’s competition started with Finland’s Timo Raatikainen and Ricky Schissler of Brighton, Colorado, emerging from the group stepladder finals to earn their way into the main stepladder finals as the No. 3 and No. 4 seeds respectively.
The right-handers (Schissler is a two-handed right-hander) faced each other in the opening match of the main stepladder with Schissler getting the win, 268-190.
He advanced to face Neuer in the semifinal, but Neuer was nearly perfect in a 278-214 win. The only frame Neuer failed to strike in was the third when he converted the 3-10 split.
Schissler, who finished fifth in last week’s PBA Senior U.S. Open, took home $5,250 for his third-place finish. Raatikainen, who tied for seventh in this event last year, pocketed $4,000 for fourth place.
The 2026 Super Senior Classic, which was livestreamed from start to finish by BowlTV, started with 206 players bowling 12 games of qualifying over Thursday and Friday to determine the top 52 competitors for Saturday’s cashers’ round.
The advancers bowled six more games, with 18-game totals determining the 12 players for match play.
The match-play finalists 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 competitor in match play bowled six head-to-head games, including a final position round, and 24-game totals – including 30 bonus pins for each victory – determined the top two seeds for the main stepladder finals.
Bohn earned the top seed in the main stepladder finals by winning Group A with a 6,136 total, while Neuer claimed the No. 2 seed by taking the top spot in Group B with 5,740.
The second-, third- and fourth-place finisher in each match-play group still were in contention to advance to the main stepladder through a group stepladder that took place Sunday prior to the main stepladder at Sam’s Town.
With 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 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 with livestream coverage provided by BowlTV.
