2, Patrick Girard, Canada, 10,248
3, Brian Kretzer, Dayton, Ohio, 10,202
4, Mike Wolfe, New Albany, Ind., 10,200
5, Shannon Buchan, Waterloo, Iowa, 10,176
6, Eugene McCune, Munster, Ind., 10,065
7, David Traber, Bull Valley, Ill., 10,059
8, Jim Pratt, Glendale, Ariz., 10,057
Can you imagine the reaction if someone had said ahead of Day 1 that 10,000 could be shot AND NOT MAKE THE TOP 8?
For the day, playing on pattern E, I also found this positions interesting since some have opined that women would not fare well on E...
29, Missy Bellinder, Fullerton, Calif., 2,064
30, Kendra Gaines, Orlando, Fla., 2,062
They may have been off the top-8 pace for the day, but they didn't do poorly. Not to mention that all three women entered in the Trials at least cracked the top-50, which is also better than some predicted on other forums.

As dazed and confused as I am that "My Week" McCune made the exempt tour, I have to give credit where it's due. The guy averaged 241 today to pull himself up into 6th place overall. That was a lot of pressure, and he handled it.
My hat is off to Eugene McCune and Dave Traber. Gutsy performance, guys!

Great shooting by all of them. Too bad ESPN didn't see fit to televise it. Could have turned it into a great insite on just how difficult it really is to make a living out there.
PS, was glad to see Dave and the Rocket make it. Both of them have more than paid their dues. Love me/hate em, their still great bowlers.

I am happy to see one of the guys from my local area make the cut, Kretzer brings some excitement into the picture. IMO, you really need some dynamic type people like Pete, Kretzer, etc. with some personality to make bowling attractive to a TV audience. With that being said though still, hats off to Traber for gutting it out with a really great finish.

Good luck to Jim Pratt! ... PS, He bowled with "Saws" then. Don't know about now.

More power to him, he's a far better bowler than I'll ever be.

And I liked the way he threw the ball!
What an impressive performance by the qualifiers, and the ladies.
What pressure, what scoring!

I agree with Sr.'s comment about ESPN. Something about ESPN that I don't understand is that they show "Poker Games" and "Pooltable Games" quite regular. I would be willing to bet that more people watch bowling than they do Poker and Pool. So, why do they not show more bowling?
