JULIO ARNOLD WINS LIGBT THANKSGIVING MAJOR

Posted On: November 27, 2017

Plainview, NY:  Julio Arnold, a 38 year old security officer from Woodside, NY, won the $3,000 top prize at The LIGBT Thanksgiving Major held at AMF Plainview. Julio shot an incredible 293 handicap game to defeat second place finisher Kameron Smith, Mamaronek, NY by 58 pins.

Rounding out the top 4 was senior bowler Dave Soren, Long Beach, NY with a 208 worth $500.

Julio, who has been an LIGBT member since 2010 but had not won a title since 2011, took out his 6-year frustration in the final shootout. Julio started out with a 10 pin spare and then threw 8 strikes in a row to lock up the title by the 8th frame. The battle for second place wasn’t decided until the final frame.
