The 20th Anniversary
Tournament ended May 18, 2007 with a "don't miss a moment of
it " final match for Men's Master's Event.
In the Women's final match players hold their positions
until the end. Ever see the movie “Cool Running”? We had our bowling version this year! Steve Gilliam of Canada, first place after All Events and top seed in the Master’s Event, waited through 4 games to get his chance at the 2007 Champion’s jacket. Meanwhile, Gregory Hunter, Jamaica, in 5th place in the Top Five for Masters, took the hope from the 3 players above him in the stepladder finals with games of 187, 184 and 215 to go head to head in a one match game with leader Steve Gilliam, 2004 Tournament Champion (the last jacket to read “Greater Miami International”). But, ten frames just weren’t enough for these fine players who tied with 222 games scratch. For the first time in the title match, an extra 10th frame was bowled to break the tie for the champion’s jacket, Gilliam rolled for a 9-spare; Hunter posted an 8-spare in his first two balls. And it was the heartbreaking last shot for the players that made the 3 pin difference between 1st and 2nd place with Gilliam leaving 3 pins on the deck and Gregory showing no mercy with a strike for his final shot, making the score Gilliam’s 222+17 to Hunter’s 222+20. And the crowd went wild! Gregory
Hunter, who works at the U.S. Navy base at Guantanamo, Cuba, a
native of Jamaica - a country that doesn’t even have a bowling
center - became the 2007 South Florida International Men’s
Champion and wears the last jacket that will read “South
Florida International”.

the Women’s Champion’s title and the winner’s jacket for
2007. Standings for Women’s Master’s – Champion: Yvonne Randell, Ireland; 2nd: Pauline Compton, Ireland; 3rd: Theresa Depka, Virgin Islands; 4th: Pat Cummins, Ireland; 5th: Ann Cullen, Ireland. |
