As for the men, Rob Kaszuba snagged this week's high game with a 230, and high series was earned by Rich DeYoung with a 592. Meanwhile, Tournament of Champions is officially down to its final eight bowlers, who will face each other next week competing for two cash prizes! Read on for all the rest of the details!
