Billy Bob Simons found the lanes to his style and in the men’s first high game pot took second with a 313 and a fifth in the third high game pot with a 285. Overall the lanes were good to Simons as he rolled a super 882 set to take first place by two sticks and finished the day with $62 in his pocket.
