In a social-media post Wednesday, Sean Rash cited "an abundance of caution" as the reason he chose to withdraw from the 2021 USBC Masters, which currently is underway at the National Bowling Stadium in Reno.
The 13-time PBA Tour champion posted, "I woke up this morning and am not feeling well," and for that reason, he said, "I have decided to withdraw from the USBC Masters. I do not want to put anyone at risk or the even tin jeopardy. There will always be another tournament to bowl."
The 2007 Masters champion had been off to a rough start in the event's 2021 edition. His lone 200 game came in the last game of a five-game opening round, when he shot 212. He had opened the block with scores of 179 and 161, then added scores of 190 and 1823 to end up -79 for the round with a 924 pinfall.
