Lowen Widens Lead

Cincinnati, Ohio Bassmaster Elite Series rookie Bill Lowen extended his BassFan Rookie of the Year (ROY) Race points lead with his performance at last week's Kentucky Lake Bassmaster Elite Series event. His 20th-place finish there was his second-best of the season, and his lead rises to nearly 10 points.

Right behind him is Arroyo Grande, Calif. Elite Series pro Jared Lintner, who has a slim lead over fellow Elite Series rookie Brad Hallman of Norman, Okla.

But look out for Jeff Connella. This Elite Series rookie from Bentley, La. last week had his second Top 20 finish in a row, and he jumps up four spots to 4th in the ROY Race.

This week FLW Tour rookies have their final chance to take out Lowen at the Champlain FLW, but at this point it doesn't look like anyone is within striking distance.

About the ROY Race
The BassFan Rookie of the Year Race/Award recognizes the best rookie in all of tour-level professional fishing for the current year or season. Unlike the league rookie races, only true rookies are eligible: To qualify as a rookie for the BassFan race, a tour angler cannot have fished the pro (boater) side of any Bassmaster or FLW tour/series-level event before.

BassFan Rookie of the Year Race points are calculated using a methodology loosely similar to the BassFan World Rankings (points based on finish with bonuses given for winning and finishing high). Only regular-season events count. Championships do not.
The BassFan Rookie of the Year Race was created in 2002 as the first rookie race in professional bass fishing. Like Rookie of the Year awards in all sports, it recognizes top-performing newcomers to the professional ranks.
