WLOS - The PBA filled the Skylanes bowling alley on Saturday for the Capstone Health Alliance Asheville Open.

Full PBA members will earn points in this event towards the $100,000 2022 PBA RPI event in Las Vegas, Nevada. 88 bowlers entered into the tournament only the top 1/3 of the players advanced to the advancer's round.

The owner of Skylanes, Chris Banks, says this is a big event for the area.

"This has never been here before and most of these folks do live an hour to an hour and a half of our location, so it just makes natural sense that we have those folks here and enjoying the locale." said Banks

Asheville native Josh Lewis is in the top 10 of the leaderboard after today's round in front of Landon Robinson of Canton, who sits at 23rd and another Asheville bowler Nick Johnston rounding out the top 25.

The Advancer's round starts Sunday morning at 9 a.m.
