@@stevesherm260 U RIGHT HOMIE SIMO GAGGED

I have to say, that might have been the most bizarre TV championship round in a long time, if not ever. Jason Sterner began the first game with FOUR consecutive open frames, Marshall Kent then starting with the first 6 strikes in the second game, only to throw his next ball in the channel, then in the next game, striking on what might have been the worst shot in the history of the PBA on TV to end up in a strike, to E.J. Tackett's shoulder injury affecting the outcome of the third game, during which he missed a 10-pin, which was the shot on which he seemed to aggravate that injury, to Kent nearly throwing two more in the channel, one on the right lane in the third game (vs. Tackett) and another in the last game which opened the door for possible defeat. It certainly was a day of destiny for someone who, until this year, would probably have been considered a journeyman, but is now a major champion. Another thing that happened, and the odds of this happening are absolutely astronomical, is that the winner of the Tournament of Champions this year defeated the same four players that Jason Belmonte beat last year in the finals to become the ToC's only 4-time champion. First, what are the odds of any four players making to the finals of a major championship two years in a row, and then those same four players all wind up losing in the stepladder final for a second consecutive year to the eventual champion (though not in the same order as last year).

@cjs83172

@@mpup54 As it was, it might have been the most bizarre 267 ever shot on TV. but that was keeping with what went on from the first shot of the telecast, which was the worst break a bowler can get, the pocket 7-10 left by Jason Sterner, which led to the first of four consecutive open frames to start that match, through the entire telecast. One of Kent's final shots nearly went into the channel when he could have shut out Anthony Simonsen, so that kind of nuttiness went on from start to finish. I've seen individual moments like that, such as Del Ballard, Jr.'s infamous shot into the channel that cost him a tournament in 1991, but that kind of bizarre thing went on during the entire telecast today.

@@mikelombard21 Certainly it's not a surprise to see E.J. and Simonsen make the finals of the ToC the past two years, because they have been among the very best over the past several seasons. Why it's amazing to me to have any four players make the finals of the same major championship in back-to-back seasons has nothing to do with how good they're playing, or even their games fitting certain lane conditions, because we see that in other sports, as well (the expression "horses for courses" comes to mind), but rather the quality of the field in such events. That's what makes what those four players did as a group so amazing.

I always root for the first time major champs. While not your best bowling, this was your best win yet. Congrats Marshall!

Honestly, I was hoping Tackett or Simo would get the W here but after seeing how much it meant to Kent and how happy everyone including EJ and Simo were for him I'm glad he got it, congrats Mr. Kent, well done.

If anyone hasn't noticed, the lanes used in this event are the exact same pair of lanes on which the first televised 300 game on the PBA tour was bowled on by the late Jack Biondolillo in 1967. Lane 28 is where Jack's last 3 strikes were bowled on.

Agreed. This oil pattern was toughest scoring-wise (look at qualifying) all season, and the lanes being bowled on are over 50 years old. I like it when it's a chess match. Players have to handle their nerves and the conditions and it makes for compelling events.

I didn't want Kent to win but after ej and Simo showed good sportsmanship, I thought wrong. I'm glad Kent won. It's finally his time.

And to think poor David Krol got absolutely drug through the mud after winning his first title a month ago (and taking out everyones favorite Billy O on his way to that title). Well after this miraculous win here by Marshall I hope all those people apologize as I don't see any of them hating on how Marshall managed to win this lol.

There are no words for how crazy this run was… wow… sometimes the bowling Gods just choose you. They chose him today.

Tip toe through the tulips plays in my head Every time Jason Sterner bowls .

He deserved that win! Got some lucky breaks but fought from the bottom and earned it!

I bet no one has ever come from 4th or 5th seed in a major, missed the headpin as many times as Kent did, and won the championship. Or has anyone in a telecast ever had a 270 from perfect but for one gutter? Wild games. Congrats.

That start in the first game for Sterner....I wonder how many times that has actually happened? The only other time I can remember a bowler starting a game with 4 consecutive open frames was Mike Edwards at the 1991 Arc Pinole Open.

Get well soon E.J. Tackett

So very happy for Marshall. He almost gave it up last year. EJ and others like Carolyn Darrin-Ballard convinced him to stay in it. Really pleased. EJ and him are best friends after all, he was in Natalie and EJs wedding as a groomsman! He has me crying!

That was an amazing finish. Kent totally deserved that win; he has worked so hard, and I am so happy he finally got it. 😊❤

The bowling gods were smilling down at Marshall that day for sure! Every match was...atypical. Sterner with the splits, Marshall with the open to open against Ogle, EJ with the shoulder, and the battle of spares against Simo. A bowling gauntlet if there ever was one...congratulations, Marshall!

I don't think I've ever seen anyone praying so hard for someone to miss a shot 😂

Since 2020, all of the winners have climbed the stepladder. Prather, Lavoie, Belmo, and now Marshall Kent joins for four years in a row that someone climbed the ladder for the win. Glad he finally got one

Kent was throwing heaters 🔥

This has been a pretty great PBA season. It's a real chase for Player of the Year. Kent, Tackett, and Troup each have 2 wins with a one being a major, but guys like Simo and O'Neill could win the PBA Playoffs or Tour Finals and jump into the mix too with a 2nd win. I'd give Tackett the slight edge currently because he leads in average and shows, but it's a pencil thin lead.

I was expecting Simon to take Kent out to the parking lot after winning a major with so many lucky breaks and a Brooklyn strike to finish

Kent deserves it. Was an amazing show

It seems like Sterner, EJ and Simo all kind of choked pretty hard. Ogle showed up to bowl but that was the one match Kent dominated with 10 strikes (11 if you count the spare after the gutter) and just outplayed him. Kent didn't bowl bad but he really caught more than his fair share of lucky breaks. Like they say, it was destiny. Congratulations to Marshall Kent. He's a very likeable young man with a bright future ahead of him in the PBA.

Awesome Marshall! I enjoyed watching you bowl roughly 10yr ago when you came to Hawaii & bowled at Schofield. You're having such an awesome year & i'm happy to watch such a dedicated athlete like yourself apply yourself.
