ROBERT KLANN WINS 2011 KILLEEN OPEN
Robert Klann from Cibolo, Texas would not let Nathan Bohr win his 3rd consecutive Killeen Open title. Klann was the top seed after the qualifying round, averaging over 220 and then roared through the match play bracket without losing a game. In the round of 16, Klann swept #16 seed Lee White 185-148, 247-243, 214-192. In the quarterfinals, he also swept #8 Clara Guerrero from Columbia, 211-167, 200-191. In the semifinals he destroyed #5 Andy Patterson of Tyler 254-139 to set up a final match against the defending champion Bohr for the championship. In the final, Klann started with a Turkey and then two 9-spares. Bohr spared the first then put together a 4-bagger to take a 9-pin lead after 5 frames. However, a costly open frame in the 6th proved to be Bohr’s undoing. Klann jumped on that opening, rolling 5 straight strikes before ending with a 7-spare to take a 255-215 victory and capture his first SW region PBA title. Bohr reached the final as the #2 seed. In the round of 16, he was taken to the full 5 games by 2007 champion Clint Dacy before prevailing 196-177, 180-190, 210-198, 218-290, 176-172. In the quarterfinals, he swept #10 Mike Bailey 203-156, 172-164. In a match-up of past winners, he rolled over 2003 champion and #6 seed Lonnie Waliczek 253-165. Four-time champion and #4 seed Mike Scroggins reached the quarterfinals before falling to Andy Patterson and 2008 champion and #3 seed Wes Malott fell in the round of 16 to Austin’s Robert Lawrence, the #14 seed, in 5 games. Other seeded finalists were #7 Gabriel Yanes, #9 Charles Vaughan,, #11 Sandi Charles of Killeen, #12 Terry Ward, #13 Chris Hibbitts II.
