Browne New Rookie Race Leader





After last week's FLW Tour Event on Tennessee's Old Hickory Lake, substantial movement occurs in the BassFan Rookie of the Year Race standings. Notable movement includes:

> Thanks to his 9th-place finish at Old Hickory, Ocala, Fla. FLW rookie Glenn Browne takes over the No. 1 spot. So far Browne hasn't finished below 24th, and is now has a 13-point lead over Japan's Shinichi Fukae.

> Arkansas' Ray Scheide moves up five spots into 3rd courtesy of a 29th at Old Hickory.

> An 11th at Old Hickory helps Indianapolis, Ind.'s Bill McDonald jump from 14th into 4th.

> Willard, Mo.'s Jackie Davis jumps 13 slots – from 23rd into 10th – thanks to a 14th at Old Hickory.

Because of the shifting among FLW rookies, BASS rookies Mark Shepard (LaBelle, Fla.) and Jimmy Mason (Rogersville, Ala.) each jump three places into 7th and 8th respectively. With just two Bassmaster Tour events to go in the next 2 weeks, it looks like they have the best shot at winning among BASS rookies. Could this be the first year that an FLW Tour rookie wins the BassFan Rookie Race?

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.
