WATERLOO, IOWA (August 12, 2023) Caitlyn Johnson (Beaumont, Texas) doesn't typically favor tournaments with a fast scoring pace. She believes she performs best when scores are low, allowing her to strategically control the pocket and consistently make spares. However, at Cadillac Xtreme Bowling Center on Friday, the scoring pace was notably high. Despite this, Johnson's performance was nothing short of impressive.
During the 12 games of qualifying at the Professional Women's Bowling Association Pepsi Open, Johnson displayed dominance, achieving two perfect 300 games. In total, she scored 2,928 points, averaging an impressive 244, securing her first place among the 80+ competitors. Throughout the qualifying rounds, the 24-year-old right-hander consistently broke the 230 mark, with scores of 248, 248, 236, 300, 259, 300, 238, and 245.
Her lowest score of the day was a respectable 205 in the twelfth game. Although Johnson anticipated high scores at the Pepsi Open, she did not expect to secure the highest one herself.
"Typically, I excel on flatter patterns, so it's surprising to admit that after leading on a day with such a high scoring pace. This is a first for me. Additionally, achieving two perfect 300 games in a single day and shooting a PWBA 300 are both personal milestones."
