Marty Fleisher-Chip Martel, Eric Greco-Geoff Hampson, Joe Grue-Brad Moss defeated WOLFSON (Jeff Wolfson-Steve Garner, John Hurd-Joel Wooldridge, Michael Rosenberg-Zia Mahmood) in the Finals of the 2019 Open USBC to earn the right to be USA2 in the 2019 Bermuda Bowl. Fleisher, Martel, Grue & Moss will be defending the Bermuda Bowl title they won in 2017. Should they do so successfully, we believe they will be the first players to successfully defend a Bermuda Bowl title since Chip Martel, Lew Stansby, Hugh Ross, Bob Hamman and Bobby Wolff, who won the 1985 Bermuda Bowl with Peter Pender and the 1987 Bermuda Bowl with Michael Lawrence.
