LOCAL NOTES : La Habra’s Duggan and Rider Again Win LPBA Doubles Title

Anne Marie Duggan and Stacy Rider of La Habra became the first repeat winners of the Ladies Professional Bowling Tour’s National Doubles tournament by defeating Maria Lewis of Manteca, Calif., and Darris Street of Fresno, 191-166, Wednesday at Las Vegas.

Rider and Duggan, who completed qualifying as the top-seeded team for the final, needed only one victory to win the $11,000 first prize at Sam’s Town Hotel and Bowling Center. Lewis and Street, seeded fifth, reached the final with three consecutive victories.

“Stacy and I have known each other for a lot of years now, we relax each other when we bowl and everything worked out well again,” said Duggan, who teamed with Rider to win this tournament in 1990.

The victory was Duggan’s sixth on the tour; Rider’s only two have come with Duggan as a partner.

Kellee Booth of Coto de Caza shot a three-over-par 75 to win by five strokes the American Junior Golf Assn. Raymond Floyd Turnberry Isle Junior Classic at Aventura, Fla.

Booth finished with an eight-over 224. Wendi Patterson of Atlanta was second.

Booth began the round with a two-shot lead over Patterson, who had a final-round 78.

Eunice Choi of Laguna Hills lost a shot from her lead and now holds a three-stroke advantage entering the final round of the AJGA Classic at Ithaca, N.Y.

Choi fired a seven-over-par 79 and is at eight-over 152 for the tournament. Lee Shirley of Roanoke, Va., had a one-over 73 to move into second.

Jeffrey McGraw of Fullerton shot 75 and took a one-stroke lead in the boys’ 13-14 division. McGraw has a 152 total, a shot ahead of William Snellings of Ridgefield, Conn.

David Warady of Huntington Beach had more than an hour shaved from his lead in the Runner’s World Trans America Footrace, but still holds an advantage of 9 hours 30 minutes 41 seconds entering the final three stages.

Warady was eighth in the 48-mile stage from Lancaster to Kutztown, Pa., completing the distance in 9:02:13. Milan Milanovich of Switzerland, Warady’s nearest pursuer, tied Tom Rogozinski of Pittsburgh for second, in 7:55:18.

Emile Laharrague of France won the stage in 6:57:32.

The 64-day race continues with a 50-mile stage from Kutztown to Washington, N.J.
