The PBA's Tournament of Champions was televised last Sunday and Michael Haugen Jr. defeated Chris Barnes in the final match in a surprising finish. With a 50-pin lead Barnes lost his carry in the seventh frame leaving the ten pin. When he missed a 10-pin spare in the ninth frame, he just barely opened the door for Haugen. Barnes, with a double in the 10th, could shut him out. That didn't happen. Barnes got nine and a spare then needed a strike to tie but then left the 4-pin standing and lost by one pin.
In the first match, Pete Weber lost to Ryan Shafer 215-213. Barnes then defeated Shafer 257-205.
Good luck bowling and have fun striking out!
