EAGAN, Minn. - Through 12 games of competition at the 2022 Professional Women's Bowling Association Twin Cities Open on Friday, Missy Parkin of San Clemente, California, claimed the lead at Cedarvale Lanes.

"I have a lot of good feelings in this building after finishing second last time we were here," said Parkin. "I was able to play my A game most of the day and made a few adjustments during the second round to put together a really solid block."
Maria José Rodriguez of Colombia is second with a 2,810 total, and Bryanna Coté of Tucson, Arizona, is third with 2,783.
Shannon O'Keefe of Belleville, Illinois, and Danielle McEwan of Stony Point, New York, round out the top five with 2,714 and 2,709, respectively.
