I was flicking thru the tv guide and saw simply "live bowling" on Sunday morning at 2am on ESPN , no great detail on what it was, I'm assuming this would be the step ladder final for the US open ? There is a replay on Sunday afternoon on ESPN 2 at 3pm.

Wow... League scores. At the Open! If you've never bowled on the US Open pattern, you'll never quite understand just how bloody hard it is. Will be interesting to see what happens when they switch houses. (I assume everyone plays in all three houses? - What a great concept!)

Amazing work Jason!

George, don't you mean "Australia's own", or "Kimberley's own", or "Aldo and Marisa's own..."

246 on this pattern is just freakishly good. Amazing start.

 

[jayboybriz]

Especially when you see Rash shooting under the card and Tommy Jones throwing a buck forty in the first game

Carol and Belmo made it into video 2

Go Team!

Could Walter Ray play any closer to the gutter????

Hey rob,

I was just about the post the same thing. Watching all of the lines, then WRW stands up and through down 1 board. That is tough. How sweat is Belmo's shot, some of guys are looking good on the pattern, but then you see Belmo's shot and it is head and shoulders above the rest. Pretty amazing.

 

[jayboybriz]

1 board and he was JUST getting it back. Tough line but he probsbly doesn't have the backend reaction needed to play straight?

 

[Ryan_E]

I dont really understand. **No sexism intended** The ladies seem to be able to play that inside shot and still carry; WRW has the revs to get there... =\ Seems a bit extreme to me

 

[John_Velo]

I guess with such a tough pattern you have to play to your strengths.

 

[Ryan_E]

Thats a good point

 

[mjmclo]

After 16 games Belmont has 313 pin lead over Peter weber. Great effort Belmo, keep up the good work.

 

[RobbieB]

Nat and Carol are 38th & 39th, moved up to less than 50 out of the cut. C'mon girls...

 

[granto]

Insane bowling Belmo!
WRW loves the edge...no doubt!
Go Aussie ladies...keep grinding away...
I did notice Shannon was wearing a Roto Grip shirt...missed that brand change

 

[Ryan_E]

Yep; Shannon is with Roto Grip now and Kelly Kulick is with Storm!

If you notice on the pba website Aussie Nat has Canada beside her name.
