After three days of qualifying, practice and pro-ams, 160 professional bowlers kick off the $135,000 Fair Lanes Open this morning at Fair Lanes Woodlawn.
Bob Learn Jr. is here to defend his 1992 title. Recent former champions Danny Wiseman (1990), Pete Weber (1991) and Mark Williams (1988) also are competing. Walter Ray Williams (1986), last week's tour winner, is not entered because of a registration mix-up but will defend his King of the Hill title on Saturday's nationally televised broadcast (channels 13 and 7).
