Could Kelly Kulick Win The 2010 PBA Tournament of Champions

The 2010 PBA Tournament of Champions is currently underway at Red Rock Lanes in Las Vegas, NV, and boy is it turning out to be exciting. The tournament of Champions is a tournament reserved for the best of the best. Only previous tournament winners and PBA Tour Champioins are invited to this exclusive event, and for the first time ever, Kelly Kulick is competing.

Kelly Kulick has made PBA history in the past as well, after she became the first woman to advnace through the PBA Tour Trials and become the first exempt woman bowler in 2006. Can she now do the ultimate and become the first woman to win a PBA Tour event? That would be quite an accomplishment, not too mention her first tournament being the most prestigious, and possibly hardest tournament to win. To put this in perspective, the all-time winningest player on the tour is Walter Ray WIlliams Jr, and he has yet to win this tournament.

Prior to Friday's two rounds of match play, Kulick is sitting in 5th place, with only a 55 pin deficit to the current 4th place finisher Rhino Page. With only 16 more games to go in today's two match play events, she could really make history, and I am for am pulling for her all the way. When asked about her past season as an exempt player, she said, “I drew on a lot of experience from that season for this tournament,” Kulick said. “So far I’ve been able to find an area of the lane to play where most of the guys either aren’t or can’t play. I’m getting good ball reaction and my carry percentage is high.”

I really hope she bowls well today and makes the show. What a great win to show all the fans out there that women bowlers can compete with the guys, and that it can be just as exciting to watch. Good luck Kelly!
