Crown your top two seeds D Browski and donon Booker are seeking their first ever wins on the tour we say Pleasant happy Easter to you rob Stone the Hall of Famer Randy Peterson the queen Kimberly Pressler to join us in a moment two massive stories Randy on today's show belm and Booker let's start with Jason who's never met a major he didn't like 15 major titles nobody's done it better at this stage talked to him last night and he said this season has been teetering on the edge of average and great a chance to move back into the great camp today absolutely and when we talked major championships let's just put it into perspective there's a guy by the name of Tiger Woods probably you've heard of him right he's he's got 15 Majors Jason elanti that man right there has 15 majors and no one has been better at the USBC Masters and today Bel Monte looking to get right back into the thick of things on the PBA tour with his fifth Master title huge field this week here in Vegas 465 competitors only one went undefeated the unknown donon Booker two-year Pro donon Booker and like you mentioned for 465 players and this was the only guy that didn't lose but today is going to be the biggest day of his bowling career and the big question mark is will he be able to handle the immense pressure that comes with trying to win a major championship and he stormed through the field look at the names he took down and then focus on that number two seat the win over EJ tacket the numbers he put up yeah he started that one with 279 300 back to back in a just a a a a whooping of the rainning player of the year and then he bowled debrowski for the lead the winner of that match was your tournament leader and donon Booker didn't fail to capture that as well and let's hear from the number one C Dron Booker standing by with our Kimberly Pressler thanks Rob so Dron you may be a relative unknown as of right now but you told us in the pre-show interviews that this moment right here right now has been a long time in the making can you elaborate on that absolutely you know I had I went I used to go to the bowling center on my bike and and I used to watch the bowlers who I thought were the ones that I wanted to to mimic to their mannerisms and everything that they did so that was a good starting point for me you also told us in the pre-show interviews that it's very important for you to be seen as a positive Ambassador for the sport of bullying what did you mean by that what I meant by that is I want to help everyone from Every ethnic background to get to this spot right here this is what I've dreamed of this is what I work towards and I will dedicate myself as an ambassador of this sport to allow anyone to sit here and to do this right now well you are absolutely an inspiration and we're going to see you in the final match Kimberly thank you well said donon can't wait to see him roll but here are your opening two competitors Sam the four seed from Australia taking on the Englishman Richard T and T will start us off Randy two Aussies and this uh this gentleman here from England on our telecast today sorry and a couple unknowns if you will and how about the story for Patrick D Browski we'll get into that in a little bit here's Richard T to start us off here at the [Applause] Masters nice start forti here's your four seed Sam Koli 10th year on the tour only two tour titles none of them Majors that's how we start folks back to back Jacks the always calm calculated cooly you don't see a whole lot of motion from him that follow through that goes dead left and he's got big hand a lot of revs a lot of power but I think the key for today is going to be that right lane the number four seed get he gets the choice of starting Lane in this match as we take a look at his Arsenal he's going with Crimson Jackal and I know how you like the names some of the equipment oh that 10 pin is going to stand I'm sorry what was it called the Crimson Jackal how how do you feel about that Crimson Jackal yeah the timing is pretty good right with the Crimson Tide going to the final four Jackal I'm all right with it okay I'm not saying it's my favorite but I'm all right with it again how have you and I not been asked to join the bowling ball name committee who do we got to talk to do you know anybody I I I know a couple of people storm anybody cleans that one up a strike spare for [Applause] I can't wait to see did he just break out his notebook by the way yeah love that so so talking with the players as we take a look at Richie's did he only bring one ball with attention star apparently um they all said that the right Lan was tricky and so because Sam culie is the higher seat he gets the choice of where he wants to start he makes Richie start the match which means T will finish on this Lane pretty good yeah good start as we take a look at our oil pattern here at the USBC Masters 44 ft in length and originally the players were going to try to start a little bit straighter a little bit farther to the outside part of the lane that you see that red line but that's certainly not the case right now they're both in and they're both opening up this pattern and the winner of this one to take on your three seed the man who has done it 15 times on the major stage Jason B Monty may be the greatest bowler ever W gave it away all right and you can see just how far right that is and it's not going to get back from that spot and he knew it when he let go of it 210 here's how you attack it only covered 15% % of the time on the tour how do you know those stats where do you get where do you get those numbers they're all locked and loaded right here in this little Noggin I also might have some help from Lan talk Bingo open [Applause] frame there they are gave that one away our good friends at Lane talk for more information head on over to Lane talk and also download the free app yeah sounds good back up to Coy what do you think it takes to get that heart rate to change I mean just the the eyes of an assassin boom perfect execution as we mentioned at the outset 465 competitors this week 15 games of qualifying your back-to-back champ Anthony Simonson it was the Anthony Simonson open for a while yeah he was bounced by your one seed donon Booker at one point [Music] oh my goodness seven pin goes up and over the seven pin see if we can get a look at that there's the rotation you can see the O ring and the track flare migration on that bowling ball great shot watch this up and over so kie is gone strike nine spare strike nine spare you talk about his heart rate I mean he bowled 300 back in 2021 against Kyle tro PBA playoffs he was probably disappointed with that performance too there was no very very little if any anybody home sometimes reac I mean we joke about it he's a a really good person we had a wonderful talk with him yesterday about you know what his mom and his grandmother have gone through and his father watching back in Australia but he is just stares down those pins like they're mortal enemies T leaves the 10 little better track that time yeah and your friend still standing yeah we've seen a lot of 10 pins already that makes four 10 pins standing and we're not even done with four frames stupid 10 pin takes care of that t one tour title through the course of his 12 years on the tour C in Reno back in 2017 at the PBA shark Championship how young he looks right I think his parents made like a last minute trip from England just to to be there for that yeah the non-stop London Nino his wife Katie is here hi Katie happy Easter Katie's like please get me off the television I don't want to I don't want to be on this anymore Katie quite a bowler herself used to bowl for England it's where they met at a bowling center that's really good yeah he likeed that one but does not like the 10 what is your problem today 10 know right I mean we had a bunch last night on FS1 and here we go again same pair of lanes and a bunch of 10 pins early on this is interesting this crowd can't get into it no yeah right I mean obviously there is the the composure with this being a major and nobody wants to offset anything but there's been very little to Rally around we started with three strikes and then it has been a struggle missed it oh no he knew it and it's moments like that that will end your battle at a major we've seen it time and time again again in major championships where a single pin whiff ends up cing you a match huge opening for Sam kolie as te cools off on the seat this will be his best finish of the Season there we go back on the strike train is Sam coie yeah it's been a tough season for him 31 or 31st on the point list and like you mentioned 10th at the US Open but he was pretty dominant through the first couple rounds of qualifying here and then did enough to hold on to make the telecast on the left lanee pretty cool how we can see the oil pattern projected on the lane surface as well you see that there it is right there and his last shot that ball came off of that spot right there did I just see you use the telestrator I've been using it you have yeah it's not what our bosses have been saying you we pay for that thing Randy be nice if you utilize it once in a while okay all right do you mind no I I'll I'll get after it Opening match of the USBC Masters halfway done between kie and te who will advance to take on Jason Bel Monte find out with us next we take a look at our bull TV highlights flashback to Friday night the four-person elimination match to figure out who's going to be in the 345 spot EJ tacking right there chopping the the 36 in the eighth frame so he could not surpass te who claim that five spot on today's show hugging Jason Bonte who's your three seat huge crowd today in Vegas looking to erupt though it's been quiet and te enters off some struggles as of late open frame in the third nine spare in the fourth open frame in the [Applause] fifth right the struggle is real right now the execution is a problem right now for Richie T the whiff spare in the fifth frame the bad shot in the third T did have a 300 game this week there was only four in qualifying match play donon Booker had one but interestingly it's where they qualified Richie T qualified 53rd Sam third clean it up Richie there we go big leads United fan T from Elder shot England just Southwest of London Che needs to Rally here he started with a pair of strikes and then it's been a real battle for him on both sides yeah the last two shots on this left lane open frames yeah both holes there we go boy did he need that first since the second frame Sam kie chooses to finish the match on the left lane has yet to strike on that lane this is a nice shot and this gives uh Rich Richie T some some life hey it's only 16 pins weird things happen at Majors but kolie is not going to be phased by anything fourth strike for and Kimberly that three-week break for Coy really benefited him this week it absolutely did because most of the players that are international they headed home however Sam elected to travel to Lockport New York to practice daily with Brad Angelo of Buu then he took calls with Rick Benoy in Kansas to hammer out a strategy for the Masters now clearly that plan panned out because Sam specifically worked on shallower angles which he says was instrumental to him this week hey Kimberly real quick uh Lockport New York that's in Upstate New York or it's in western western New York sorry yes Western New York I've never met anybody who's defended Western New York quite more than Kimberly yeah she she likes she likes that area she digs in on Western New York there's like a football team up there too that she's kind of fond of can't remember the name of them get her in the Buffalo Bills together right that is Bill's Mafia heav yeah yeah you know it's interesting in her report is that he played shallower angles throughout qualifying and in some of the match play and now he's he's gone completely the other side of that he's real deep and really opening him up T looking for a double won't get it again running out of time now especially with kolie in the double there in the seventh and eighth now we are staring down an all Australian match next yep the way it's headed like you just don't see a guy like Sam coughing up a frame right now he's not going to be rushed he's not going to be based right he's going to do what Sam KY [Applause] does huge difference great use of the telestrator [Laughter] I got a text from headquarters during the break what it say Randy use the Tator yes sir coie in the ninth way right of Target T car it away again I'm sorry te all right big time right and all but over now yep needs to stay upright and behind the foul line but just poor execution in in this uh in this Opening match by by T he made some bad shots missed a 10 pin couple open frames yep and then zero momentum because of that only three strikes he had the momentum at the outset started nice ah damn it there are moments that I look at Sam and if I was walking on the sidewalk at him i' I'd go ducking an alley across the street Dodge traffic he's just got that look when he's out there right of just like this Natural Born Killer and he is an assassin at times out there on the lanes he is so focused so dialed in got some ink on that right arm or his left forearm his mom and his grandmother both passed away and they are with him constantly when he's out on the lanes just three tour titles for kie chasing his first ever major and we've got an Aussie Aussie Aussie Showdown coming up next oi oi oi well last couple of shots inside a Target both go high for Sam bud it's over T is taking off the audio pack he's done audio better grab that fast before he throws it into the crowd steps on it flushes it down the toilet that spare Ball's fast I mean it's comes with bad intention yeah yeah it's it's coming down that lane with h some really bad intent want to okay try just the regular shot so moves on your four seed advances he'll take on your three seed and four time Master's champ Jason Belmonte now D Browski and Dron Booker still waiting in the wings here in Vegas at the USBC master so the major goat set to take the hardwood Jason Belmonte looking for his record 16th [Music] major welcome back to Las Vegas in Fox Sports presentation of the USBC Masters up next next Jason Belmonte who's threatening to win his 16th major today but there is more to belmo than just bowling let's catch up with Jason B Monte in the pocket good day I'm Jason Bel Monte I'm from Orange New South Wales Australia very rarely am I the bowler at home everyone else bowls my kids will Bowl you know family will Bowl I'll go to the Bowl but I like to just be the parent or be the mate watching that moment I get home I don't want to do anything else I just just want to be a dad I just want to be a husband a mate the evening TV shows are better for me cuz all the family can be awake the 2019 World Championship my 11th major which broke the record take it in you're watching history kimbery presler asked me to look at the big screen and say hey look what we captured when you won there was happiness because they were watching and the fact that it wasn't just my kids it was the entire School jumped for Joy when I won it's very emotional I I missed them dearly I think that was the first time I had little tears in my eyes actually on the show I love you guys very much that's really all I can say action he's the greatest when someone calls me the goat what do I think about that feels funny but it feels feels pretty cool just to to have people put you into that category and put you into that conversation it's crazy I want a resume that that it's undeniable so up next the potential goat taking on Sam kulie where does he fall in the goat conversation for you CU there's a lot of them out there well I I mean if you ask Norm Duke Duke says he's the greatest ever um but the you know the big argument is the winningest player in the history and that's Walter Ray you know he's got to be part of that conversation but the winning person on the major scene Far and Away Jason Belmont we open up our second match Sam kie really somebody did a cartwheel around the 10 pin there was a lot of action coming towards the 10 right there he's made a another pretty decent sized move to the left and he's really opening up this left lane now the way the lanes are breaking down already is that an advantage for a guy like Jason Monte who seems to thrive in these type of conditions I think it's an advantage for both kie and Bill Monte because they both have a lot of a lot of hand High RS cleans that one up up now your 3C Jason Belmonte he won this tournament in 2013 again in 2014 made it a three Pat in 2015 and won his fourth and final Masters back in 2017 now 40 years old asked him last night how do you feel physically how do you feel mentally right now 100% that 3- week break allowed him to rest feel like I'm 30 again uh-oh watch out what welcome back solid nine to start you know speaking with his tour rep Rob gotchel prior to going on the air Rob told me that this is the best he seen Bel Monte look in some time that's crazy yeah been looking pretty good like physically his Focus everything so both start with a spare you know the I got a question for I mean for me Bel Bel Monte's 40 he has to travel back and forth from Australia I mean how many more years is he going to put in hey that's some we hair you we were talking to Sam about it yesterday and that's one of the reasons he didn't go back yeah you know and again Bel Mo's got wife and kids that we just saw on in the pocket and and there's that that gravitational pull if you will to get back home and check in with them but Sam said you know I fly there you know it takes essentially kind of two days takes almost a week for your body to adapt and then you've got only X days there till you got to get back on the plane and come home or come to the US and then have your body adapt again b m he flew home for a wedding yeah listen the things I would do to go to a open bar wedding right now i' I'd fly across the I'd fly across the world for one of those I can only be there 18 minutes you got it it's going to be a banger of 18 minutes so belmo takes a seat strike there in the second I mean we are in Vegas you could like Pony up to a nickel slot do anything probably get a probably get a bevy I'm more a Reno guy oh boy wow well you can see Sam obviously phased by this and again we talked about this right lane got to get the ball over into the three cut it over into the four and seven only covered 21% of the time on the tour this is a big test what a kick up Sam look at the reaction he is Overjoyed he is euphoric he is over the moon it is your satisfying moment of the match sponsored by Snickers nothing SN satisfies like a Snickers and boy you need pickups like that if you were to take down the greatest Jason belma and Sam coie with a celebration for the ages sometimes I can't help myself Randy oh yeah well done Sam what a pair of frames that [Applause] was now belmo we've seen this pose thousands of times back to back Jacks for belmo the crowd starting to come alive this Easter Sunday in Vegas bmo's got fans everywhere tonight on Fox the Nascar Cup Series heads to Richmond a rare Easter Sunday night race Under The Lights pre-race kicks things off at 6 Eastern engines fire at 7 on Fox and the Fox Sports app I'd love to getting one of those race cars that'd be a blast let's make it happen this guy's been in one fmo in the fourth late drop of the 10 there's the hook on the left lane Rob it's we had a graphic up with his Arsenal he's using a tour Dynamics this Lane is on fire already and we're only in game two little backup with a plastic I like it you see that rotation kind a little this way [Applause] mhm let's look at this one more time yeah we're seeing more and more players starting to do this Simonson does it EJ tacket does it Simonson was the first one that I remember seeing on television doing that so it's a reverse hook the backup all right it Curves in the other direction or rotates in the other direction and the players are doing that to try to avoid chopping the three off the six would have been cool if you could have tated that man are you on me Coy with the strike right there another huge celebration so backto back strikes for kolie two pin game here through four two Aussies going at it was great we talked to Sam you know about what belmo meant to him they're separated by seven years and you know I was aware of him a long time ago as a teenager hearing of all of his wins they never met until his late teens at belo's home center Sam saying you know he really paved a pathway for me reaffirmed that this is something that I can chase something I can do now it's coie trying to cool off Jason Bel Monte I just used the telestrator Rob look at that outbreak by you did yeah inside of Target and that lane again is really broken down and it's starting to hook a lot so the Miss in is not going to work and we're going to continue to watch the players make more adjustments moving farther towards the middle part of that lane kie remains clean three spares two [Applause] strikes three pin Advantage for Bel Monty your three seed little Captain Morgan type look right there from belmo yeah and there is his Road he bow the most games out of all five of the players on the telecast today 39 and all toll life through the losers PR right yeah oh that's a very good KN yeah I agree with that because that was left again and that could have been six instead it's just a four pin inside a fourth Arrow right around the 22nd board 39 boards across the entire Lane second straight spare conversion for belmo both Bowlers clean through five the lead stays at two Master's oil pattern here in 2024 proving to be very pesky we saw some issues in our Opening match Richie t with a pair of open frames advancing 206 180 two seed Patrick D Browski what a story he has waiting in the wings to take on the Survivor of this Bel Monte kolie matchup liked it and got [Applause] it little internal conversation a nod to the crowd and belmo takes a seat for this commercial break with the strike but his country mate Sam making things tough for for [Music] belmo we welcome you back to Fox Sports coverage of the USBC Masters 2013 the first Masters win for Jason B Monty took care of West malot finished with six straight strikes 2014 in Jersey dropped DJ tacket next year in Green Bay took care of AJ Johnson and then 2017 in Vegas dropped Michael Tang there's your four USBC Masters titles belmo the three seed looking for his fifth today on Easter Sunday right now he is in a tight one with his fellow Australian Sam kulie this is the best finish of the Year ready for Sam [Music] messenger sit down [Applause] 10 here's your just right strike brought to you by just bear the mindful choice for highquality protein with no antibiotics ever just right just be and yeah somebody took their protein powder this morning to drop that 10 on the messenger was that the head pin no they all took it yeah there was a lot of stuff happening everybody was Juiced up this morning whoa a little bit four pin stands upright really opening up this old pattern now these both of these players and in order to be able to do that your speed control has to be really really nice and you better have some RPMs who's got the better speed control in your eyes between these two Jason B Monte again K's not going to make it easy for anybody you think he wants to beat this guy cool says you're going to have to dig your own grave I'm not going to do it for you I think what's interesting is once we watch this next shot on the right lane by Bel Monte he moves over to the left lane and in the third frame excuse me in the fourth frame when he went high he moved another four left before he threw this the shot the sixth there's your speed control my friend and it's another double for Bachi his second double here of our second match at the USBC Masters live from Vegas bmo's approach anytime you see him Post in shots like that where his balance is perfect Dam sorry it's when you know he's firing on all cylinders asked for a rck there on the left lane yep let's uh compare the two lanes for belmo here left lane with the red right lane in the blue yeah and obviously a much deeper path but I I think the left lane hooks [Music] more belmo on that left lane it I think the two colors were backwards because it's he's W you know I didn't make the graphic right great shot but he is way deeper on this Lane got a triple first one of the match so five total strikes for belmo they've all been paired together a double and now this triple he's a good eight boards different on that left lane eight boards deeper so we're talking almost two arrows so some pressure here on the camp down 22 as he gets set to close out the eighth oh no can't get back in it if you can't strike when you hit the pocket no matter who you are yeah clean up but a little Grimace there and he knows that might just be the difference between moving on and moving back to the hotel room so belmo can Max it with a 257 kolie can only get a 224 go to the ninth Foundation frame this is pretty much a must strike frame for [Music] again another shot that's missed inside on the hooking Lane the left lane Sam Coy only playing these two lanes about three or four boards different whereas Bon's twice that double that and this is all but over Delan is already in the 220s and with a conversion here and an open frame now K's Max score is 20 one Deonte just needs count ninth and 10th Frame yeah we said it was a big ninth frame for and he could not deliver belmo knows the math the dagger is out and ready to insert it into kolie here there there you go done I don't know you want say a bit more surface to blend it out a little bit more let's blend it out first he's going to go to another ball to try to blend it out a little bit more you heard him talking with his by blend it out so to to make the ball reaction a little bit smoother and blend the pattern out so it's not so drastic one way or the other it doesn't overhook or it doesn't over skid he wants that that ball reaction to be nice nice and even so this shot with an eye on the third match that one's going good back in the bag I think yeah I mean after that he did get it wide 2410 but I'm not sure that's the ball he's going to go with in his next matchup fast tracking now the match is over B good week for Sam coie here yep real good [Applause] week he will finish in fourth again Bel mode just doing a little search and reconnaissance type mission right now there goes that ball it's going back in the bag yep sign it and give it away put that one up there good job different one Jeff how long do we have eight minutes okay like now problem so again belmo has already moved on to our third match coly closing things out nice r run from Sam look forward to seeing more of him as the season progresses but it's belmo your three seed moving on to your third match up next for him your two seed Patrick D Browski Kimberly standing by with belmo Jason congratulations on advancing now Robin Randy have been talking a lot about the transition of the lanes from your perspective what's happening out there yeah it's pretty obvious that the two lanes are playing very different so um when you when you get a pair like this and they play so differently it's so important to make sure that your your strategy on each lane is very focused you don't want to be throwing the ball like you are on either Lane um so you need to be able to make sure that when you're up on the right lane you know exactly what you're doing for the right lane and then the same on the left well the next two matches uh they have not won titles before how confident are you going up against them look I at one point in my career hadn't won a title either and and on that show I I bow really well so there's no reason why uh these two gentlemen don't do the same so you know I'm going to go out there and I'm going to pretend it's me vers the pins like it is every week and just trying out bow the guys good luck to you thank you odor you might see some head games being floated out there by Jason Belmonte over the course of the next two games I mean does it really have to honestly no but why not if you got it Patrick D Browski up next against belmo will get you ready for that when we return here live on on Fox the PBA is proud to have Bowlers to Veterans link as the official charity of the PBA tour in today's bbll salute to Veterans we welcome that man Navy operation specialist E3 Walter rampton who served from 1976 to 1980 Walter

Belmonte the three seed will start us off on the right lane make that the left lane gave me a head fake Randy good catch you're on fire great start to the third match Rob you're on fire today look at how deep that is and look at the challenge he left him 210 yeah Lo looked like a pretty good shot as well and he was looking for this to come off of the spot and it just doesn't that's in between fifth and sixth Arrow that was close if he moves any F farther left he's going to have to go Airborne because he's running out of Lane on that on that left lane you think he's going to go Airborne well I think based on the last shot he just threw he might and just get softer with his speed maybe move in a little bit get a little softer see if he can get it to come around the corner 23 years on the tour zero titles yet for Patrick D Browski big Buckeye fan little scarlet and gray kick there to get all 10 down from Parma Ohio just south of Cleveland so belmo has an open frame and Don Browski drops all 10 gu sneaky good sneaky good yeah yeah won the RPI earlier this season the commissioner Tom Clark saying yesterday the best non-touring player in the country absolutely he's going with fate and he's 10 boards right of Bonte on that right lane he's going with fate he's going with a ball called fate cuz you got to have fate you're big George Michael fans yeah I mean I like him but look how much straighter he's going he's got the softer hand he gets the ball through the front part of the lane and a walkway too and a walk-off and his his angles much much straighter through the front that is is a pretty strong start now belmo quickly against the wall that's how you [Applause] respond slow down see he just looked over his t slow down on that left lane which is kind of what I thought he would do to get it to shape ask for a rack speed so important ask belmo you know what what was going on this week he was happy that he was able to kind of turn his game around so quickly called this tournament such a lottery why does that fit because of the format mhm and just the sheer number of amers that are in this tournament 465 players 15 games of qualifying it's not a lot mhm 64 players get into match play three game matches catch the wrong guy in the wrong pair twice in a row you're out back on that left lane messenger get down open frame in the first drops them all here in the

remember that one remember that shot in the fifth he's thinking about something rolling so smoothly that now that we've gone even for the left time to make remember we were talking about the ball that uh D Browski is using it's called fate fate yeah you know who signature ball that that is who that belongs to let's spell Monty's ball I like that speaking of Fate right yeah fate doing you in so John Browski now looking for backto back nine spares left the four pin both times for a little bit more about Patrick here's Kimberly well Patrick describes himself as a roller coaster Enthusiast guys riding over 125 of them across the US now his love for the tight turns and steep slopes led him to start team coaster Bowlers on social media to document his thrilling experiences and guys he even told us that if he wins today he might just fly to Florida to ride some coasters to celebrate that win I I almost vomited watching that that's not my game man no oh boy there's that left lane shot yeah and just watching where he's playing and where Bel Mon's playing it's like heads scratcher right it's like how can he possibly play that part of the lane it's got to be bone dry there well it was working early oh man oh almost in the end though an open frame to match the one that belmo had in the first the winner to move on to our title match of the USBC Masters it's belmo and D Browski trying to get themselves to the [Music] final welcome back to Las Vegas Rob Stone Randy Peterson Kimberly presler back here with you match number three of the USBC Master speaking of USBC on your left Chad Murphy executive director on your right Melissa McDaniel USBC president thank you to both of them for having us here in Las Vegas belmo in the sixth working on a spare on Jason come on jeez that well this is going to be a battle Yeah another Rock fight right and you know what's really interesting to me again remember we have an essential unknown as your onec donon Booker right now only two years as a fulltime bro never been on television for bowling and he's seeing the greatest ever maybe battling struggling fighting really curious what his thoughts are and how he's handling these preparation moments behind us right now knowing that the struggle is real right now I I think it it's a it's a great major in that the scoring pace is I think right where it should be okay because you have to execute at such a a high premium and then you know catch a couple breaks make your spares but you're not I mean we're not seeing 250s and 260s and 270s it's really just a grind so you're a grinder is that what you're telling me you want grinder I think I think I think M major should be grinds back on the strike train is belmo High game so far today 222 222 from belmo in our last game well this is going to be interesting remember Don Browski last time we saw him before that long commercial break an open frame another look at belmo strike there in the seventh the fourth of this match for him Don Browski started with with an opening triple and he's been skating on thin ice lately as far as one element is concerned Randy his approach nesser got it man that was like a helicopter messenger coming over and just kicking the tent out let's take a look here at that hand and working the inside part of the ball nice rotation he's got great ball roll his foot is getting awfully close to that line big strike for Patrick R for Patrick and maybe some shades of Tom Smallwood back in 2009 Patrick just got laid off early March by interdesign part of a a large downsizing at the company which is benefited his bowling he says it's given me more time to focus to prepare to improve my game big strike right there and it it has to remind you of what Tom Smallwood did in 2009 at the world championship unemployed in witch talk goes on and wins a major and changes his life around and he was an accountant there correct and gets let go during tax season listen I'm not here to do the hiring or firing seemed odd and also by the way Don brow the kind of guy you would want anybody's office great human being yep belmo in the eighth working off a strike five pin match curls it in and does not get help with the 10 just a little long ball pushes Just A Pinch longer than he wanted comes in late leaving that soft 10 I mean the adjustment for him is just softer speed or he's got to get out of that ball but time's running out yeah got to take care of this first 10 pin covered 95% of the time on the tour takes care of that and now will move to the left and begin the ninth yeah and it's almost must strike now because dumbrowski working on the double and you see the max scores 227 Bel Monte 242 dumbrowski D can I please take another R last rack utilized Now by belmo trying to win his fifth Masters and 16th major but he's down five as we begin the ninth coming up next here on Fox it's like I took over programming for the day at Fox Sports right MLS Eastern Conference Showdown Atlanta United Chicago Fire and Kell aosta those two separated by just one point in the standings you you can see it live here on Fox and the Fox Sports app my good friend the Hall of Famer the legend Tony Miola part of the call for that one coming up next here on Fox didn't like it six big Miss left left the six pin that line asking for something different well the good news is Jay this is your last shot on that left lane in this match not sure you're going to get any more opportunities with the the way dumbrowski is executing just the one bad shot for him in the six that's it everything else has been in the pocket labeled and belmo will sit and and see if fate will seal his fate there's that fate ball Don Browski on his left hip knows he has a chance to finish off one of the greatest ever belmo phone that's what he said yeah I think phone yep somebody's phone went off did not hook oh boy hold everything 210 makeable but not not very good timing for debrowski it looked like it was fast he was working on the double could have really sealed the deal instead now he's looking at a potential open frame ELO had a 210 in the first couldn't convert it ditto for Don Browski what an awful time for an open frame and belmo still has [Applause] life Patrick's got to rally and refocus does have a rerack if he wants to use it there's your onec D Ron Booker from Albuquerque watching this one from just to the side Don Browski huge shot in the 10th on the left left the seven serious unreal Bill Mi just needs a mark now in the 10th Frame wow did this thing turn around quick welcome to the majors it up disappointing end not the way he wanted ninth and 10th to go one more shot he had him Randy he had him yep it's not over yet but belmo in the catb bird seat right now and ready to pounce whatever this ends up being here in the tent great showing from Patrick dski use that motivation use that time off hope to see more of him again the world series of bowling fires up next week yep in Detroit after that the TOC I mean the back half of this PBA season is loaded with opportuni for people including this man belmo needs a mark way right of Target are you kidding me I should have stopped why didn't I can't keep up why didn't I with this pendulum of momentum this is insane he's got to convert this why didn't I stop no Patrick Patrick D Browski moves on to the title match at the USBC Masters he had it he lost it and he got it back again see the other one I got see the one unbelievable Finish Well we in Vegas you could have B on that and lost a lot of money a lot of money multiple times yeah D Browski moves on so it is one versus two one of these two Don Browski or Booker will win their first ever tour title with a chance to seal it instead left that split couldn't clean it up and he is done and D Browski moves on to your title match to take on Dron Booker this tournament's Legacy is second to none Champions that cast Shadows of B in's greatest axe to join that history to make your own mark on this major if there was ever a time to leave it all on the lanes this my friend is it the 2024 USBC Masters final Starts Now on box packed house this Easter Sunday

go Booker 33 years old just second year as a full-time Pro taking on Patrick D Browski match you have the choice um I want to finish last so I guess he goes first start yeah Booker handling that one these are questions that have never been asked to him before first time on live television for bowling he has been on TV before all right you too on The Price is Right yeah great story as an 18-year-old can I just add that the last time a player won the Masters for their first ever title Andrew Anderson oh yeah good one saw Andrew last night and went on to win player of the year that year nice recall Randy yep yep Don Browski native of Palma Ohio just south of Cleveland starts us off on the left lane great start Patrick great start you see him yeah pump the brakes watch the B probably his blood pressure and also the speed as well I mean he's jacked very curious to see how this gentleman handles things ston Booker from Albuquerque New Mexico originally from pona California if you

tickets courtesy of the USBC they went as a group and went to Price Right went on down did some winning as well trying to do some more winning today D Browski oh had an eruption on that R so D Browski perfect through two little light mixure on the right lane for dumbrowski his key is obviously getting the ball online but his ball speed has to be just right otherwise it will not come around the corner but the lower rev rate the softer hand allows him to play farther right than what we've seen throughout the telecast big wrestling fan is Don Browski graduated high school with the Miz and if he gets a strike here you'll hear the Miz's music in the background hates it through the nose you can see the big left Miss right there 310 telestrator Rob good work the soil pattern is forced the execution to be at a premium and there's an open another open frame man last game he had two and still [Music] [Applause] survived all right won the showcase showdown with a $1 bid yeah don't go over man yeah cuz he thought the the uh the other contestant was way over [Applause] Savvy the smile has lessened a little bit you know the fun the fun may be waning a little bit business is staring him in the face face right now and this is a huge opportunity for this gentleman started bowling at six first League out at cow Bowl did you ever bowl out there at cowb picks that one up kind of took a break rejoined it about the age of 12 Junior Amer tours worked in proops for the last decade took some time off for bowling worked at Bed Bath and beond back to bowling there's his Arsenal and his his ball

got great touch really good feel back to Don Browski off that open frame in the third responds 10 yeah better shot yeah it was a better shot but 10 pin still standing and right now the last thing you want is to allow Booker to get comfortable M for you cut to cut cleans that one up all right needs a better shot on this left lane good hates it again yeah right through the nose big for big trouble it's almost like he's afraid to throw it to the right on that lane open frame how do how do you think Booker's Comfort level just got to eight nine you know who always makes us comfortable here there she is Becky Herman Sun Coast bowling general manager great to have her expertise around around here all week it's been wonderful to us the last couple days back to the man they call d d Ron [Applause] Booker not bad no more smiling and you you touched on it it's like it's all business now isn't it and especially with back-to-back open frames on the left lane from from dumbrowski just real solid not a whole lot going on there right it's all right he he kept telling us yesterday I'm going to have a blast so many friends and family here from all my walks of life I want to enjoy my

pops fists that is a big break for Booker you know sometimes things just happen and it kind of sends a little a little message out there that maybe today is my day and it's breaks like that yeah looking upstairs love it love it love it Don Browski got to find a counter punch open frame in the fifth here he is in the sixth get down he's living on those light mixers here in this title match what's going to happen on this left lane I expect him to make a better shot and you know the last two have been open frames yeah the baby split and then the big four both poor shots left of Target so right now he needs to call in all of his skill set double for Dom come on came at the perfect time for him just as Booker was looking to kind of pull away and take that momentum D Browski able to put a bit of a wet blanket on it now Booker this is interesting Randy's gone nine spare strike nine spare strike nine spare strike here he is in the seventh yet to pair a strike together first strike on the right lane leads at 20 he got comfortable pretty quick he's making some really nice shots and leads back up to 20 as you mentioned now he goes back over to the left lane he has struck every shot on that left lane and he will finish this title match on the left lane could be watching history today folks wait wait in today is your day how about the last two that trip 49 and then the roller 10 we got to take a look make sure that it didn't interfere the machine cannot touch that pin oh come on are you serious no it's not under review that's a drop I think it's good take your VAR away from me that's a good strike you bet it is don't push that garbage on me that's a strike any day there there would have been held to pay if they I'm coming down fighting somebody I'm running remember we were asking for that energy in the house finally oh man right now it's right here on us right now Don Browski down 30 trying to make a late charge oh my goodness collapsing and doesn't get the luck right things have been going Booker's way there's a chance well remember Don Browski thought he was done and dusted in our last match sat down thought he had given it away to Bel Monte and only to have belmo give it right back to him he's going to burn a rerack here our High game today 222 from belmo in our second right match turn the corner and Booker on Pace for 250 yeah what a story gosh 31
