First of all - he took the tournament today. No one handed him anything.
Second - although I've never been a Scroggins basher, he was not one of my favorites. He kinda struck me as a dead fish kinda guy - personality wise.
After last week in Medford, when he was our first pro in the pro am, I have nothing but respect for the man. I had the misfortune to bowl the "sponsors squad" (read non bowlers drinking heavily), and Scroggins had a TON of class. He kidded around, cracked jokes, and generally was one of the best guys we bowled with.
Our list was:
Mike Scroggins
Parker Bohn III (another real class act)
Mika Kouvenemi (he was very nice, but seemed really tired)
Chad Kloss (good guy - new on tour - good bowler)
Brian Kretzer (no personality whatsoever)
Brian Himmler (was in a REALLY bad mood)
So - from last week forward, I will have a huge amount of respect for Mike. Not to mention he's one of the best out there!
