Being that I thought Norm was going to lose, I figured Kent would go ahead and have that extra push for POY. Well now its just Duke that is left.
With Duke being the last of the POY talks, he has to be a sure bet to win POY.

As much as I like PDW, by virtue of the fact that Kent won two majors versus his one major and one standard, I don't see him being in it. Couch, PA, and Rash, who all have two titles (I miss anyone?) aren't in it as far as I'm concerned. The other three, even PDW, had better overall seasons (not to mention PDW's major versus their not-majors).
It's Kent and Duke all the way. If Duke can make the show, I give him the edge. Otherwise my vote (that I don't actually get) is for Kent. Duke's extremely popular, the PBA goes out of its way to put him in the spotlight, so it's gotta be close.

If Norm doesn't win Doug Kent is player of the year. 2 majors as compared to Norm's 3 standard events gives Doug the edge.

quote:
If we have learned anything over the past 3 seasons, titles do not mean everything. All aspects are taken into consideration. Average, earnings, MP appearances, etc. Duke is ahead of Kent in every category besides one (earnings). I believe it will be Duke, because he has been more consistant over the year, even though he missed a stretch of the season.
Gotta vote for Duke now. He finished eighth in points, only 15K behind Kent, in spite of placing 64th in seven events. Outside of those events he withdrew from, he had a 36th place finish i the MC Classic and 40th in the Ace HW. Then 21st in the Worlds. Otherwise he's top 10, top 15 pretty much every week. Kent didn't crack the top 16 most of the time. Missed the top 32 a lot, too. I'd like to vote for Kent, he had a career year and this is probably his best shot at being PoY, but I just can't do it.

Two majors in a year is very impressive, though, way to go Doug!
I wouldn't mind if either won, truth be told. A pretty tight year for POY, eh?

Just because you feel he deserves it, doesn't mean he's earned it.
