Wes Malott, Pflugerville, Texas, has been named the November 2020 Kegel Bowler of the Month by the International Bowling Media Association. 

Representing this year’s PBA League (PBAL) champion Portland Lumberjacks, won the inaugural PBA All Star League Clash ousting Norm Duke in the final round among the most title winners on each of the twelve 2020 PBA League teams. Malott and Duke have been doubles partners in PBA competition, including the 2011 and 2015 Roth/Holman Doubles Championships.

The PBA Clash format features each player rolling one ball, eliminating the bowler with the low count until one remains. Ties with the low count are eliminated with one ball roll offs.

Malott was also named PBA League MVP for the second time, leading the Lumberjacks to its second consecutive PBA League crown as team captain.

Others obtaining votes this month were Walter Ray Williams, Jr., winner of the PBA60 Wilson & Sons Pest Control Super Senior South Open, his 118th PBA title, Jakob Butturff, winner of the PBA Jackson Rancheria Casino Resort Championship, Tom Hess, winner of the PBA Plaza Bowl Midwest Open, Paul McCordic, winner of the PBA50

Beaumont Southwest Open, and Kerry Smith and Ryan Shafer, winners of the PBA/PBA50 New England Over/Under 50 Doubles, presented by buddiesproshop.com, Cambridge Credit Counseling, and TechVision.
