Roumimper leads, Asbaty among leaders at U.S. Women’s Open

ADDISON, Ill. – Diandra Asbaty is making herself right at home at this week’s U.S. Women’s Open.
The Chicago resident remained consistent on Wednesday during the second day of qualifying at Stardust Bowl in Addison, Illinois, and while Indonesia’s Tannya Roumimper, above, leads with a two-day pinfall total of 3,422, followed Singapore’s Shayna Ng at 3,362, Asbaty kept pace and sits in third at 3,355.
First-round leader Amanda Greene of Romney, West Virginia, and Hui Fen New of Singapore are tied for fourth 3,346.
Asbaty, left, spent Wednesday morning getting her kids dressed and had to head out right after her qualifying round to pick them up from school. She said the day felt like a normal day.
“I just feel comfortable and I don’t know if it’s because I can sleep in my own bed and go home to my kids,” Asbaty said. “It’s hard being on the road with the responsibilities. Even though I still have responsibilities because I’m home, it just feels a little different. I just hope the feeling lasts throughout week, I can make good shots, good moves and keep moving up.”
Asbaty is coming off a second-place finish at the PBA/PWBA Striking Against Breast Cancer Mixed Doubles in Houston. She teamed with Jason Belmonte and said she was able to work out a couple of things in her game and came out of the event feeling sharper.
She also came into the U.S. Women’s Open with a specific game plan, knowing if she just puts together a few doubles then she can shoot 220s. That mentality keeps her more at ease.
“I’m a good example that you don’t really need to shoot 250s, 260s,” Asbaty said. “I’ve just been consistent for two days and hopefully that continues.”
Roumimper recently returned to the United States after bowling in Korea and Hong Kong, where she finished third at the Hong Kong Open.
“I’ve been working so hard on my mental game lately,” she said. “We still have eight games tomorrow, so I just want to be in my zone when I bowl in those eight games, just focus and bowl – don’t think ahead, or think what happened before.”
The U.S. Women’s Open continues Thursday with the third and final eight-game qualifying block before the field is cut to the top third for eight more games on Friday. After 32 games, the top 24 will advance to round-robin match play to determine the five finalists for Sunday’s stepladder that will be televised live on CBS Sports Network at 11 a.m. Eastern.
