US Lawn Bowls Championships Day 3 – Rough Day on the Greens

ByGary Dalton
Max Cavender was the only member of Central’s team to manage a win on Day 3 of the U.S. Lawn Bowling Championships in Seattle. Max can still earn a silver medal with a win in his last game tomorrow. Although losing both games today the women’s pairs team has an outside chance at gold, but they will need to win tomorrow and hope the leaders falter in their final game.  The men’s pairs team of Landgren and Nelson played out the theme of the Achebe novel “Things Fall Apart” and lost hope of any medal with their two losses on Day 3.  Charlene Harmon also lost both games.  Game 1 vs Pacific Inter-Mountain – Cavender 21-20 W; Harmon 9-21 L; Witt/Mather 11-17 L; Landgren/Nelson 15-18 L; Game 2 vs Southwest Stripes – Cavender 12-21 L; Harmon 3-21 L; Witt/Mather 10-16 L; Landgren/Nelson 4-37 L
