Bohn Goes Wire-to-Wire, Slams Door in Vegas
LAS VEGAS — This time, Parker Bohn III didn’t let it slip.
If you’ve followed the game long enough, you’ve seen this script before—big lead all week, then chaos in the stepladder. Bohn’s been on both sides of it.
Sunday at Sam’s Town? Different ending.
Bohn shut it down.
The Hall of Famer took out Andy Neuer 249-244 to win the 2026 USBC Super Senior Classic, locking up his second national 60+ title and finally checking off Sam’s Town.
And make no mistake—this wasn’t a sneaky win. This was control.
Bohn led every round. Set the pace at 6, 12, and 18 games. Averaged 250.7. Won by nearly 400 pins. That’s not competing—that’s owning the building.
But in a stepladder final, none of that matters.
One game. Ten frames. Execute or go home.
Bohn came out in full control—front six, clean, confident, no wasted shots. Neuer didn’t blink, though. Clean frames, smart adjustments, and a late push kept it tight heading into the 10th.
That’s where it flipped.
Neuer stepped up with a chance to apply real pressure. First shot—pure. Second shot—missed it high. 4-6-10.
At this level, that’s all it takes.
Bohn stepped up needing a mark and didn’t mess around—buried the first one in the 10th. Shut the door. Title over.
That’s veteran execution.
“When it comes down to it, you want the ball in your hand on the right lane,” Bohn said. “I got it there and made the shot.”
Simple as that.
Neuer, still chasing that first senior national title, kept it real: “Bad shot. That’s bowling.”
Even in the moment, you could see the respect. These guys go way back—same era, same battles, same understanding of what it takes to win at this level.
Bohn earned $8,000 for the win. Neuer took home $6,550.
Earlier in the show, Ricky Schissler came out firing with a 268-190 win over Timo Raatikainen, but ran straight into a buzzsaw. Neuer was nearly perfect in the semifinal, striking at will in a 278-214 blowout. Schissler finished third ($5,250), Raatikainen fourth ($4,000).
The road to get there? Not easy.
206 players. 12 games qualifying. 6 more to make the cut. Then match play with bonus pins and position rounds. No freebies, no soft spots.
Bohn separated early—and never gave it back. His 6,136 total in match play locked up the top seed. Neuer grabbed the 2 spot at 5,740. From there, it was all about who could execute under the lights.
Bohn did.
No missed opportunity. No late fade.
Just a Hall of Famer doing what he’s done for decades—making shots when it matters.
That’s Mojo.
