LAS VEGAS - It only took Parker Bohn III of Jackson, New Jersey, seven games to reach an over-par score no other competitor at the 2016 United States Bowling Congress Senior Masters could match in 10 games, and he was able to build on his opening-round lead at Sam's Town Bowling Center.

The USBC and Professional Bowlers Association Hall of Famer entered Wednesday's second round with a 10-pin advantage and now leads the field of more than 260 players by nearly 100 pins with a 10-game total of 2,426, a 242.6 average.

The 52-year-old left-hander posted games of 247, 235, 215, 214 and 257 for a 1,168 total on the final squad of the day Wednesday, the double-burn, to go along with a 1,258 five-game block Tuesday on the fresh 40-foot USBC Senior Masters lane condition.

"I came in with the same game plan to keep my target in front of me," said Bohn, a three-time PBA Player of the Year. "I just had to figure out what ball it was going to take to knock over the pins. I started with the ball I used yesterday, which looked good for two games. For the better part of Game 3 and 4, I was fumbling around changing balls trying to stay in that zone. I left a couple of 7 pins to start Game 5, figured I had nothing to lose, tried another ball and threw seven in a row. Maybe I should have used it earlier, but I'm very comfortable with where I'm at and will see what tomorrow brings."

Kevin Croucher of Grants Pass, Oregon, rolled the third-highest block of the second round, 1,187, to jump from 11th place into second place with a 2,329 two-day total.

USBC and PBA Hall of Famers John Petraglia of Jackson, New Jersey, and Pete Weber of St. Ann, Missouri, are third and fourth with 2,315 and 2,313, respectively. John Donovan of Melbourne, Florida, rounds out the top five with 2,308.

Qualifying will conclude Thursday, with the first of three squads taking the lanes at 11 a.m. Eastern. The top 63 players, based on their 15-game pinfall, will join defending champion Amleto Monacelli of Venezuela in the double-elimination match-play bracket.

Monacelli improved to eighth overall after Wednesday's second round with a 2,258 total. The USBC and PBA Hall of Famer is guaranteed the No. 64 seed if he falls out of the cut, but he can improve his seeding for match play during qualifying.

Bohn will use Thursday's final round to make sure he's as prepared as possible for match play. All pinfall will drop starting Friday, and each three-game match will be decided by total pinfall.

"I may bring out one or two more balls to see what they do on the lane," said Bohn, the owner of 35 PBA national titles, including three majors. "Everyone understands after tomorrow night, the 64 players who advance are even. With that being the case, I want to make sure whatever I do allows me to go out and hopefully continue to knock over an insurmountable amount of pins compared to my opponent."

All rounds of qualifying and match play are being broadcast live on BowlTV, and the five players who advance through the bracket will battle for the title in the stepladder finals Sunday at 1 p.m. Eastern.

The Senior Masters is open to USBC members age 50 and older and features a prize fund of more than $131,000. A top prize of $16,000 will be awarded to the tournament champion.
