$125,000 HAMMER OPEN
Boulevard Bowl, Edmond, Okla., Jul 18-23, 1986
Another Ringer For Williams
In one fell swoop, Walter Ray Williams Jr. won his third title of the 1986 Professional Bowlers Association season, captured a check for $18,000 and vaulted into the lead in both the official money ($118,460) and average race (214.44) as he won the $125,000 Hammer Open.
A capacity crowd cheered the 27-year-old Californian in defeating leading qualifier Brian Voss, 237-223, in the championship game, after eliminating another crowd favorite, Guppy Troup, 244-212, in the semifinals of the championship round.
The Hammer Open finals started with Troup toppling rookie Jack Jurek, making his professional debut on the national tour, in a 265-259 thriller. Troup then rallied to oust Kent Wagner, a finalist for the second straight week, 225-202.

Two great champions bowling in that title match. This was almost the start of Walter Ray Williams Jr.'s career where he ends up as one of the top 3 bowlers of all time.

When Jack Jurek and Guppy Troup both started with three strikes in the first match, Mike Durbin said that both players were a third of the way towards a 300 game. They were actually a quarter of the way there at that point as it takes 12 strikes for a 300 game.

Surprised Jack Jurek never went on to greater achievements on the PBA Tour. Seemed to have a nice game and level headed.

Guppy's a great guy. His son's a goof, but Guppy loves him. He'll never be the bowler his dad was.

Your statements true, his son is a better bowler than Guppy.
