Team Turbo Staff member and PBA Senior Professional, Ron Mohr of Eagle River, Alaska, is awarded the PBA Senior Tour Player of the Year honor by a panel of veteran bowling writers and his fellow competitors. The 53-year-old, second year Senior Tour member was the only three-time winner on the Senior Tour in 2009. Ron won back to back titles in the early spring with titles at the PBA Jackson (Mich.) Senior Open and PBA Dayton (Ohio) Senior Open. He won his third title in the Senior Dick Weber Open in Lansing, Mich., where he defeated four-time defending Senior Player of the Year Tom Baker, 232-175, in the title match. In 12 Senior Tour events, Mohr cashed in all 12, advanced to match play 11 times and he had five top-five finishes. He was runner-up in the Senior Tour earnings race to Wayne Webb by only $250 with his $41,600 total, and he led the full-time touring seniors in average at 223.14. “I don’t know if it’s a surprise to get the news, but it’s still a shock,” Mohr said. “After my first year, I realized I could be competitive, but it’s a major step to win a title and then to win more than once. To go on to win Player of the Year is beyond anything a guy living in Alaska could ever imagine. I think it would be easy to accept this, say it has been a great year, and move on but I’m looking for ways to get better. Tom Baker won this honor four years in a row. I’m going to try to get better if I have any hope of doing something like that. And with Walter Ray (Williams Jr.) coming out on the Senior Tour, even for a few events, we’ll all have our work cut out for us next year.”
