    Thanks for posting this, @Mike S. I watched it and couldn't be happier for the PBA Tour and Jason Belmonte. Belmo with the threepeat is remarkable, but Weber at 52 still bowling at such a high level is staggering. I was really wanting Weber to win this one as it's the only major he hasn't won during his career. Kind of hard to believe for the number of Masters he's been in.

    Not a problem, markaz. I saw it on the PBA's channel on youtube, and i was hoping pete would win it as well.

    They are in Indianapolis this week for the Tournament Of Champions. The live 5-bowler stepladder finals will be on ESPN this sunday at 1pm et

    In the majors the No.2 seed wins something like 67% of the time. Belmo two weeks in a row? I'll take it.

    Rash was doomed after throwing the perfecto. Not only did he come down from the high but then had to face the best bowler on the planet. What can you say about Belmo?

    Really sorry to hear Weber crying about Belmo putting his towel on the rack/Weber's ball. But mission accomplished for Belmo...it got into Weber's head.

    When i first saw belmo, i was like this is different meaning his style. Then he started winning.
