FLOBOWLING DEBUTS ANTHONY SIMONSEN DOCUMENTARY: “LEAVE IT BEHIND”

At age 22, Anthony Simonsen of Little Elm, Texas, has already established himself as
one of the PBA’s premier stars. But his youthful journey to the top levels of competitive
bowling hasn’t been easy. A documentary that made its debut on FloBowling.com
Wednesday, "Simonsen: Leave It Behind," tells his story.
FloBowling’s first documentary interviews Simonsen and the people close to him as it
delves into how he overcame some difficult personal obstacles in his formative years to
become one of bowling’s biggest stars.
“With this first FloSports bowling presentation, I hope you enjoy a glimpse into one
of our young star bowler’s life,” said PBA Commissioner Tom Clark. “Anthony's origin
story, like every person in the PBA family, deserves to be told because when you get to
know our players, when you really care about them and they feel like part of your fam-
ily, the drama PBA bowling provides is unmatched.”
Simonsen has already won enough PBA Tour titles to qualify for election to the PBA
Hall of Fame, but also must complete 20 years of PBA membership before he’ll be eli-
gible for election. With seven standard PBA Tour titles and two majors, he is the
youngest player ever to complete the title-eligibility requirement.

2019 World Women’s Championships Concludes with Team Masters Medal Rounds
By Matt Cannizzaro - USBC
LAS VEGAS - Colombia's Maria José Rodriguez entered the
2019 World Bowling Women's Championships with her sights
set on the first gold medal of her career at the event.
The 30-year-old right-hander threw clutch shots all week
when she needed them, and she earned the gold medal she cov-
eted. Then another.
Though she came up short in the tournament-ending Masters
competition, falling to Singapore left-hander Cherie Tan, 2-0
(203-201, 258-217), in the title match, she'll leave the South
Point Bowling Plaza with five medals - gold in all-events and
team, silver in trios and the Masters and a bronze medal in dou-
bles.
Rodriguez attributes her success to learning from all of the
close calls and mistakes she has experienced in her career,
including not throwing the shots when she needed them earlier
in the 2019 World Women's Championships.
It may not have seemed so at the time but missing the cut to
the singles semifinals by three pins may have been the best thing
that could've happened the two-time Professional Women's
Bowling Association Tour titlist.
"I think I was able to come through later in the week because
I didn't do it in singles, if that makes sense," said Rodriguez,
who has participated in seven World Championships. "In sin-
gles, I tied up, I was shaking and it reminded me of when I did
the same thing two years ago. Then, in doubles and trios and
team, I didn't do that. I forced myself to learn from it."
In Friday's team final, Rodriguez threw one of the most mem-
orable shots of her career, striking in her final frame to lift the
Colombia women to their first team gold medal in World
Bowling World Championships competition.
Colombia and Sweden went the distance in the best-of-three
Baker final at the South Point Bowling Plaza, and while
Rodriguez's strike sealed the win, spare shooting actually decid-
ed the outcome of Colombia's 2-1 victory.
Early in the finale, Swedish sisters Cajsa and Jenny Wegner
missed 2 pins in consecutive frames. Despite the miscues,
Sweden rallied and managed to grab a two-pin lead heading into
the final frame, putting the decision in the hands of the talented
anchors - Rodriguez and fellow PWBA Tour champion Sandra
Andersson.
After Andersson rung a 10 pin on her first shot, Rodriguez
stepped up and delivered for a 222-202 victory.
"When I was in the team event and needed to strike, every-
thing was shaking, probably even my eyelashes, but I thought
about the shot I threw at the end of singles and refused to do it
again," Rodriguez said. "This is what we train for, and it was
amazing to see the hard work finally pay off. For it to happen in
the team event means so much. We all have worked so hard, and
it's incredible to make history for our country."
The rest of the three-game final match was equally interesting.
Sweden had a chance to win the opening game after
Rodriguez left, and missed, a washout in the 10th frame.
Andersson needed a strike on her fill ball but left the 2-8 com-
bination to fall short, 205-204.
Game 2 featured an uncharacteristic mistake from Colombia's
Laura Plazas, who missed a 1-2-4 combination. Sweden tossed
four consecutive strikes starting in the sixth frame and came
away with a 235-220 win.
Both of Colombia's wins in the championship match came on
the left lane, which gave all four teams trouble during the team
medal round.
Rodriguez and Plazas were joined in the win by Clara
Guerrero, Rocio Restrepo, Juliana Franco and Anggie Ramirez
Perea.
The team's previous best finish in the team event was a silver
medal in 1999. They also earned bronze medals in 2003, 2011
and in Las Vegas in 2017.
Friday's team win was a bit of redemption for Thursday's dou-
bles event, where Colombia qualified two teams for the medal
round but failed to advance to the gold-medal match.
"To be honest, I'm a little shocked," Restrepo said. "Yesterday,
I bowled 12 really good shots, and it didn't happen. Today, I did
the same and I'm probably going to be super drained because it's
so much emotion. I was shaking. At one point I thought I was
going to faint after striking. But I was like, you have to keep it
together."
Sweden's roster also include Joline Persson Planefors and
Josefin Hermansson. On Thursday, Wegner and Hermansson
won the doubles event for Sweden's first medal since 2009 and
first gold medal since 2007.
Colombia, the No. 4 qualifier, was the only team able to con-
quer the left lane during the team semifinals, and it helped the
quintet to a 2-1 victory over top-seeded Team USA.
The qualifying leaders started on the right lane and rolled to a
239-182 victory, before falling victim to the challenging left lane
on the way to a four-strike, four-open 222-154 loss.
An early 7-10 split from Missy Parkin put the United States
behind early in the deciding game, but the team battled back,
giving anchor Shannon O'Keefe a chance to throw a double for
the win. Her first offering resulted in another 7-10, however,
ending Team USA's bid for a third team gold medal since 2011
by a score of 225-211.
The match featured nine PWBA champions among the 12
players - Stefanie Johnson, Liz Kuhlkin, Danielle McEwan,
O'Keefe, Parkin and Jordan Richard for the United States and
Guerrero, Restrepo and Rodriguez for Colombia.
It was the second consecutive heartbreaking finish for Team
USA at the South Point Bowling Plaza.
At the 2017 combined World Championships, the United
States, the defending champion, missed the medal round by two
pins. This time, Team USA tied the six-game qualifying record
and led No. 2 seed Mexico by 379 pins, before the format
changed to the knockout-style Baker matches.
Team USA was looking to become the first No. 1 seed of the
week to finish the job and win the gold medal.
"It's pretty disappointing to lead by almost 400 pins and have
it all come down to that one shot," Team USA head coach Rod
Ross said. "We just got a couple of bad breaks with the 7-10, and
if either of those fall and we get a spare, we're in that final match.
This one's going to sting for a while. I'm heartbroken for the girls
because they work so hard and put everything on the line."
September 25 - 30, 2019
In the first team semifinal, the left lane proved to be the dif-
ference, as all three win in the match came on the right lane.
Sweden topped Mexico, 2-1 (223-192, 183-244, 212-188).
The deciding game came down to the final frame.
Three strikes from Mexico anchor Iliana Lomeli would've
sent her team to the final, but she left the 3-6-9-10 combination
on her first shot. Andersson had just delivered a strike for
Sweden, and that ended up being more than enough to seal the
win.
Mexico was represented in the team event by Sandra
Gongora, Paola Limon, Iliana Lomeli, Adriana Perez, Lilia
Robles and Aseret Zetter.
As the tournament wound down, Rodriguez, Tan, Team
USA's Danielle McEwan and Sanna Pasanen of Finland took
the lanes for the conclusion of the Masters event.
In the first best-of-three semifinal, Tan topped McEwan, 2-1
(165-212, 236-184, 244-213), and then Rodriguez again deliv-
ered in the final frame, striking to sneak past Pasanen, 2-1 (223-
232, 257-221, 216-210).
The Masters final was the only match of the day that didn't go
three games. Tan claimed Singapore's second gold medal in
World Championships competition, 2-0 (203-201, 258-217).
"It means everything because everyone works so hard to come
here and try to win," Tan said. "I've been trying for so many
years and came close so many times. It's really something. The
pressure is high, but we have been coming close for almost 10
years now. It feels really great to bring home a gold for
Singapore."
Shayna Ng won Singapore's first gold medal in all-events at
the 2015 event in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
The 2019 World Women's Championships started with 176
competitors from 34 countries, who competed for medals in sin-
gles, doubles, trios, team, all-events and Masters competition.
All games were contested on the 39-foot World Bowling Seoul
oil pattern.
The 34 countries that participated this year were: Australia,
Bahamas, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, China, Colombia, Denmark,
England, Finland, France, Germany, Guam, Hong Kong,
Indonesia, Israel, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, Mongolia, New
Zealand, Philippines, Poland, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Singapore,
Spain, Sweden, Chinese Taipei, Thailand, United States, Ukraine
and Venezuela.
Team USA and Colombia topped the medal table with six medals
apiece. Sweden claimed four, Korea had three, Mexico earned two
and Singapore and Finland took home one each.
McEwan was the top performer for Team USA, winning gold in
singles and bronze medals in team and Masters. If she would've
won the Masters event, she would've become the first woman in
tournament history with a gold medal in each discipline.
O'Keefe also earned three medals - silver in singles and bronze
medals in team and all-events - while Parkin, Richard and Kuhlkin
came through to successfully defend Team USA's trios title. The
three, plus Johnson, also received bronze medals for their team fin-
ish.
"We changed up how we approached this event with the six
players who were here, both prior to coming and once we were
here, and I think it led to some huge improvements and was the
reason for our success in qualifying," said McEwan, a five-time
world champion. "Overall, we worked so well together and I'm
incredibly proud of how we did."
Las Vegas and South Point also hosted the World
Championships in 2017. That was a combined event featuring
men and women - something that happens every four years.
