Sutter Creek, Calif. – Jakob Butturff of Tempe, Ariz. led wire to wire to win the PBA West Region’s Jackson Rancheria Casino Resort Championship at Gold Country Lanes on Sunday.

Butturff came into the event with a heavy heart after just losing his mother to cancer the previous Monday, but fought to win his 26th career PBA Regional title. The title is Butturff’s latest in just five years, but one of his most memorable, which he dedicated to his late mother. Butturff earned $2,500 for the win.

Butturff held a demanding lead to secure first place, but there was no shortage of competition for second-place. There were five other bowlers jockeying for the spot through match play until the last game, when David Haynes of Las Vegas secured it with a big 289 in the position round to earn $1,300.

This weekend was the 16th time the PBA Western Region has visited Gold Country Lanes and was especially exciting for bowlers as they were able to compete in the state of California for the first-time in over 10 months.
