Auburn Masters History
The Auburn Men's and Women's Masters is the Cayuga County area's match-play championship. Sites have varied: the 2016 finals were at Cedar House Lanes in Skaneateles and the 2022 finals at King Ferry Bowling Center. In 2014 it was billed as the Auburn Nucor Masters.

Becca O'Donnell (4 women's titles by 2014) and Rebecca Young (record 5th title in 2016) are listed as two separate bowlers. They may be the same person under a married name, but no source says so, so the profiles are not merged.
Titles confirmed without a year
Mike Ryan had four men's titles by 2016 (first four-time champion). Rick Lambrecht won his first title in 2002, per a 2014 story (still being re-checked).
Years we're still looking for
Men's: everything except 2014 and 2016. Women's: everything except 2014 and 2016. Still being checked: 2002 men's (Rick Lambrecht), 2013 women's (Becca O'Donnell, implied by "second consecutive" in 2014), 2015 (a roundup we couldn't read), and 2022 (winners named only as Pucino and Reynolds; first names not confirmed).
