$170,000 BRUNSWICK JOHNNY PETRAGLIA OPEN
Caroller Lanes, North Brunswick, NJ, Mar 7-11, 1995
Gant Goes The Distance For Win
John Gant has officially returned from a six-year absence from the PBA Tour, having won the $170,000 Brunswick Johnny Petraglia Open at Caroller Lanes in North Brunswick, N.J. Gant, Winston-Salem, N.C., became the first player of 1995 to advance from the fourth-seeded position, and defeated first-time finalist and top-seeded Ken McNeely, 234-216, for the $34,000 first prize and his third PBA title.
McNeely, Morgantown, N.C., opened impressively with a turkey, while Gant bettered him with a four-bagger, spare, double, to lead by 19 pins after seven frames. McNeely's unorthodox "jack sprung-out-of-the box" style was critically wounded when he missed a single 8-pin leave in his fifth frame, and he never got closer than 18 pins of Gant. McNeely's animated performance was salved with the $18,000 runnerup check.
Gant said, "I'm used to losing to Ken, because he usually beats me in our matches back home. I picked the right ball today and that's critical."
Gant began the day against the only non-lefthander, Randy Pedersen of Hollywood, Fla., and the burly former baseball pitcher came through in the closing innings, finishing with five strikes to advance, 224-219. He next posted clutch 101h-frame strikes against Bob Belmont, Dunedin, Fla., 236-227, and bettered another first-time finalist, Billy Myers Jr., with late frame heroics, 236-217. Myers, Temple City, Calif., earned $10,000 for third place, Belmont took home $8,000 for fourth and Pedersen's bid for an 11th PBA title was consoled with the $6,500 fifth-place check.

I made a tidy sum of money in the 60-70’s keeping score for bowling, tax free no less

@@showtimeman5673 this...the best years of humanity, in my humble opinion, was '75-'95. Bands, music, movies, sports, you name it. A lot of 1sts were established during this period. Now everything's just a derivative from something that was already done...and with way cooler results..lol.😎
What a great bowling, thank you . I love Chris and Bo !
Gant Getting everything out of that CUDA C,,, great ball back then, had one :) Liked it
I used to work for Billy Meyers Jr and I took lessons from Billy senior.....great people.
Love the retro commercials!
Thanks also Mr. B. for posting this tourney. Never saw these matches before. Great to relive those ABC bowling broadcasts of the past.
Growing up bowling at Santa Anita Lanes in Arcadia I on occasion used to get mistaken for Billy Meyer’s Jr. His dad worked as a GM of the bowling center. This video brings me back! Carry on!
Great tournament, Mr.B, didn't see this one due to my job, in fact, couldn't see most of the Sat afternoon PBA Tour from roughly 86' on til the end. Bo and Chris were great!!! Any tournaments that you have will do, thanks very much for the uploads !
Fantastic. It is very difficult to win 4 games in a row in the finals Those lefties with those big hooks made it seem like the ball was coming out of nowhere and then somehow getting to the pocket. Did you see McNeely clap at the end there? Class. There was nothing on a Saturday afternoon watching Chris, Nelson, and then Jim.
Talk about rigging the lanes for lefties! The lanes for right-handers must have truly sucked in this tournament.
Thank you for uploading!
Interesting bowing tip. Personally I always just winged it and hope something fell down, whether it be the pins or me, and if it was me that fell down, make it as funny as possible. :P
belmont has a very smooth game , Sweet
24:50 his low game of the week was 196? 🤯

He was a part timer. His wife was a doctor I think
Speaking of fast,Randy was wayyyyy tooo fast on this shot
I don't think Gant "opted" for bowling over MLB. He just didn't make it in baseball.

@@douglasharris5216 back then cashing was almost as much as a monthly check in A Ball. Other than the signing bonus, bowling pays similar to minor league baseball.
More then any other"sports" Too many fake folks in bowling
