Svensson Vs. Butturff Highlights Cheetah Round Of 16

When qualifying for the 2020 PBA Cheetah Championship happened back in March it was clear the left-handers were able to find success on the pattern.

When the Cheetah resumes Thursday with the Round of 16 there will be five left-handers in the field, more than any of the other remaining World Series of Bowling events.

In fact, two of the most high-profile lefties on the PBA Tour will meet up in the first match with No. 3 seed Jakob Butturff taking on No. 14 seed Jesper Svensson.
