The date was July 15th, 2000. Stormin' Norm Duke beat Paul Fleming and Jeff Lizzi in the opening shootout match with a blistering 279 game. Top seed Robert Smith is his opponent in this match. Part 2 of 2
i listened to him on youtube livestream(Bowling with the Fef) a couple days ago and he said he be doing all the majors and a few select tournaments on the 50+ tour next year
question for irishpogi. There was a tournament that Robert lost to Pete Weber each while throwing a Piranha. I believe this was very early in Smiths TV career, but I havent been able to figure out if this tournament is online here. Lemme know if you got it or can upload it. I am not sure if it is 2000, 1999 or earlier.
I just spoke to Robert the other day at the 2017 Masters. I told him I remembered the day when he picked up two big fours in a single JAT tournament game. He told me he actually made them both by cutting the pin across. Now that is jaw dropping accuracy. I was impressed anyone remembered that. Year unkown but it was publicized in the youth magazine that covers JAT and YABA. It was not televised.
What I meant to say was, was this U.S. Open pattern not like the normal one? Really, these guys are playing outside, you always play inside on the U.S. Open.
Wrong, this wasn't your typical house shot. Norm just happened to make exceptional shots up until those two very small errors. The point of a US Open condition is force players to throw really good shots and to magnify errors and shots that just slightly off target.
haha i agree, only thing i can think of is eitehr that robert was only taking 4 steps, or the video started before they showed it missing the first step he took
