With that being said, Pete Weber is a personal favorite. Several years ago, my son and I talked to Pete after an event and he was a complete gentleman. My son got an autograph and he said, "Thank you". Then Pete said, "No, Thank you!".
Yes, I know that Pete has had some personal problems years ago, but he seems to have gotten himself together now.

As far as the title match....Barnes vs. Duke
Two of the most versatile bowlers out there. I don't think Shafer or Fagan will get there simply because Fagan has to go through the entire stepladder and Shafer seems to always get someone who no matter what he shoots, seems to get bad luck. I don't think PDW simply because the past few times he made it to tv, he has bowled like it was his first time on tv. Plus, I think he may put too much pressure on himself to win his fathers tournament.

I can't think anything better then Pete Weber winning this tournament. It's named after his late father and has been struggling last two seasons for the most part. Seems to be on his way off the tour at his rate and bowling this fantastic and making a show proves he is not done yet. He also beat Walter Ray Williams in match play. Took a 270 to do it and still barley beat him. Seems like Walter always bowls his best against him. I think he made this show at this tournament last year or the year before that but didn't do well. I hope he just goes out and forgets about the nerves, the money and the title and just bowls like I know he has in the past. Last time he was a 1 seed he got destroyed by Tommy Jones. Can't remember what tournament that was. Perhaps at the 2 seed and NO Walter on the show he has a chance. I think he could beat Shafer which he has done in the past. Barnes and Fagan may be tougher depending what Barnes shows up.
I think he wins his first match whoever he faces. I don't like his chances against Norm Duke because he rarely makes much mistakes on tv, especially the last 2-3 years where Norm has been invisible on tv it seems. Weber will have his hands full if he wins his first match. I can't wait for this show!
The only other tournament I'd love to see him win is the Masters because he has never won it. If he would to win that, it would be a grand slam.

Light oil patterns and Storm has an edge over Brunswick, in the vaguest general terms.
Wish Bill O'Neill had made the cut. The man has a win coming in the near future.
Duke vs Fagan would be interesting. But if Fagan won all 3 of his matches, he might be burnt out by the time Duke was stroking up the 5 board.
I've got to say that Pete Weber looks more "human" with every show, but he seems to have lost some of that edge when he was less "human" and more like a teenage snotnose in a school yard on every show. He has only shown glimmers of his former aggressiveness and "killer instinct". 5-8 years ago he would roll off 7 - 9 strikes in a row in 3 consecutive games on TV to just destroy his opponents. I almost wish he would show some of that spirit again. On TV he has been less than the ... spirit both he and his father used to have.

Who i'd love to see win: Fagan. Great guy, great game, young, and has a big career ahead of him. Who will win, ofcourse Norm or PDW depending on who reaches PDW in Semi Final.. If it's PDW in finals vs. Norm, definatly will be a great match but the win going to Weber as it is his dad's tournament..

I'd love to see Pete win for his dad but I'm pulling for Fagan the most. He threw the ball great in match play and Reyes needed a double to shut him out for the show and reyes left a baby split on the second shot in the tenth so hopefully he can use his good fortune tomorrow

Lol.
He bowled good enough this week, and he's my favorite bowler, so...
I watched him all week, and he was throwing the ball really well. A Bash through qualifying (the new, brown one, not the gold and purple), and then went to a T-Road Solid in match play. Probably threw some other stuff too.
Anyway. I hope he wins. I'll be out there rooting for him.

I think Fagan psyched himself out more than Norm did...but honestly, there was no way Duke was going to lose that match. Fagan bowled very well, kept his head in it very well, didn't lose his cool or let his nerves get to him. He just had one bad game out there.
That's how they were all week. ALL WEEK. VERY touchy. I've never bowled on lanes so touchy. Seriously. Fagan was in front of the ball return almost all week. I can't believe he didn't jump in there. But, he was also throwing a Bash all week, not Storm (Yes, he did throw T-Roads, but he was also using a bash and something else).
All in all, he did good, but I don't think he played them like I would have had I been in his situation.

Oh my god, dude...*drool* she makes Fagan's girl look just above average.
Bill didn't bowl good in match play. I know that was visible on live scoring, but you have to be there to understand the full extent of what I'm saying. Bill O'Neill did NOT bowl good in match play. He was all over the place, missing spares, just, didn't look comfortable.
Nicest guy in the world, though.
