Ok, ok.  I got beat.  I was surprised.  We were real close until he popped off a 279 in game 7. Then I finished with a lovely 180 game.  Shoulda been a lot closer than 67 pins.  I expected to be around 130 over, but it wasn't meant to be.  Whiffed a few too many spares.

Phil had his career best tournament.  (hehe)  I was also pretty hurt.  Wrist is about 70% of where it should be.  I was also throwing a new Element Au79 15 lb ball (first one I've thrown so I didn't have a great feel for what the ball should do) drilled the day before when every other ball I have is 14.... the extra pound threw my timing off.  I was also on one of the few pairs with only three bowlers, the rest had four.  So that meant we'd bowl then we switched pairs and had to wait 20 minutes for them to finish.  Getting cold between games cost me.  Phil also paid off the lanes guy I heard.  Hmmm... what else can I say?... hmmm... oh yeah, I'm back in retirement.  Phil can take a photo of me and hang it on his wall next to the deer antlers and all.
