Bowling News USA - September 8, 2009 Boomershine Wins BWAA August Bowler of the Month

                                

ARLINGTON, TEXAS - Tammy Boomershine of North Ogden, Utah has been named Kegel Bowler of the Month by the Bowling Writers Association of America for August 2009.
 
Boomershine captured the 2009 U.S. Women's Open defeating USBC Hall of Famer  Carolyn Dorin-Ballard, Keller Texas, 269-225.   

After qualifying fourth for the 12-woman television finals round, she continued with wins over Shalin Zulkifli, Malaysia, 212-206, and Missy Bellinder, Fullerton, California, 269-205.
 
The win marked a comeback to the winners circle since a 1997 back surgery limited her tour career. In reference to her power game and a popular movie of the era, the "Taminator" was the 1994 Professional Women's Bowling Association's Rookie of the Year and 1996 PWBA Player of the Year.
 
Boomershine also qualified third for the 2009-10 PBA Women's Series Tour Trials.
 
Other nominees capturing votes were Ron Mohr, PBA Senior DickWeber Open winner, Mark Williams, PBA Senior Decatur Open winner, Norm Duke, PBA Cheetah Championship victor, and Andrew Koff, 3-time Tournament of the Americas gold medalist.
