LOTS of amateurs in this week's PTQ
« on: January 26, 2005, 05:31:11 AM »
This week there are 70 bowlers in the PTQ - 44 of them are amateurs. In the top 20, 10 are am.
So that means that 44 bowlers are competing for one spot - and 26 pros are competing for 4. Wow.

Nice to see Sean Quinn in there.  Although he is having a rough start it's good to see he's giving the PBA a go again.  He made one career show back in 98 I believe and has one of the sweetest releases I've ever seen.  He has Robert Smith capabilities with the revrate but he's able to play as straight up the lane as someone like Walter Ray.

Looks like it all balanced out though...four of the top 5 were PBA guys, and then an am completed the top 5.

He didn't bowl well but not as bad as it looks. He dropped out after 7 games.

The amateurs who finished in the top twenty are uniformly VERY good -- give them a couple of more chances and any of them might make the field.

I agree on Sean Quinn being as awesome bowler, he shot 2250 scratch (9 games) in our state tournament in 2004 (250 average). I watched him bowl one of his 3 game blocks..........simply smooth and awesome power.
