RENO, Nev. - After a disappointing performance at the USBC Masters in February, Matt McNiel of Chanhassen, Minn., worked hard to make sure he was prepared for his return to the National Bowling Stadium for the 2010 USBC Open Championships.

The 24-year-old left-hander was determined and focused this weekend and blistered the tournament lanes for a 2,326 all-events effort Sunday, the highest nine-game total in 107 years of Open Championships competition.
McNiel averaged more than eight strikes per game and recorded 88 clean frames on the way to 806 in singles, 780 in team and 740 in doubles to break the all-events record of 2,321 set by Ron Vokes of Racine, Wis., at the 2009 tournament in Las Vegas. John Bauerle Jr. of Indianapolis previously held the lead at this year's event with 2,225, which he shot Saturday afternoon.
