brunswick pro staffer tom baker won the 2005 pba senior u.s. open defeating three opponents on his way to the title. in match one baker defeated roger kossert 236-190. in match two baker beat pba hall of famer david ozio 220-158. and in the title match baker defeated number one seed dennis psaropoulous 234-214. since joining the brunswick pro staff two years ago baker has won two major titles: he won the 2004 pba world championship on the regular tour and now the us open on the senior tour. congrats tom !

this had to be a great moment for tom baker. next to winning the pba world championship this was probably his biggest win. many people don't remember but between 1980 and 1986 he was one of the top five players in the world but lived in the shadow of earl anthony, mark roth, and marshall holman. he then had trouble with his wrist and had surgery but got back in the winners circle in 1996 at the ac delco classic. good luck in the future tom !

WOW, Dennis P has never been on the pro tour and made the finals....wow!

Used to bowl pot matches against him all the time...  He's got a lot more of my  money than I do!
