If everyone read this thread from the start no doubt you know I HATE RASH. Think he's a punk no class bowler, who throws the ball tremendous. I was sitting right behind the practice pair and was there from the moment the doors opened (supposed to be at 3, opened late at 315). All 5 were practicing on 37-38 and several folks came up to watch and when Rash went to go to the bathroom, about 3-4 people asked for a picture and an autograph.....in the middle of the practice session with their tour reps right before the TOC. What did Rash do.....he took all the pics and signed everything. Never said a word no. So kudos in that moment to him. Belmo went to the bathroom later and literally there was a line behind my seat 15 people long waiting for him to come out of the bathroom. Let the poor guy take a piss. he comes out and signed everything and took every picture as well. Bill didn't come back once, zero interaction with the crowd but he looked focused and locked in.....until he went to the TV pair. Simonsen had zero interaction with the crowd as well. Prather came back a few times and in those instances anyone that asked for anything he obliged as well.
Only thing I wanted to point out...O'Neill was absolutely LOCKED IN with a Jagged Edge Hybrid on the practice pair. Dude couldn't miss. He went to the TV pair and I don't know if I saw him even try that ball. I was just shaking my head. Not that it would have made a difference...but wow.
Oh and in practice, Belmo sprayed the lane MORE than what he did on TV. He was completely lost on the practice pair as well. One shot was high and tight, the next was so wide he was facing up the 3 pin. Kept going back and forth like that for 30 minutes.
