I am very pleased with Nathan's game plan and commitment to it. Unfortunately he did not execute to his potential.

Neither bowler lit em up but Del seemed more in control with the transition. The morning rounds can be difficult for bowlers and that is what it looked like to me.

Tom seemed to struggle with one lane the whole match. He struggled to double early and then had worse problems late when he seemed to split every other frame. The low end of the house was the tougher end of the house for most bowlers obviously tom was one of those bowlers.

A high scoring affair that included a seven frame roll off. The difference wound up being Dino's ability to carry just enough more than Jack.

Danny seemed to struggle with the early hook more so than Jason. Jason was able to stay left of the transition while Danny was forced to play closer to the early friction. I really though Danny would be able to play the early friction but I guess not.

Rudy seemed to have it good or really bad. A slow start and too many opens seemed to do him in.

Ray seemed to miss out on every opportunity he had. Opens in late frames of tight games and Michael just made better shots when you had to.

Tommy got the early lead as Chris stayed committed to his attempt to break down the lane outside of 5. He was successful and made an exciting comeback against the one bowler on tour who has the reputation of being the one who comes from behind more often than any other bowler.

Patrick never gives up but this was as close as I have ever seen him as he never really had a chance against Ryan. That my friend is the life of a lefty.

Mike struggled to shoot 200 let alone compete against the superior look Brad had. He tried everything he had in his bag looking for the right combination but it was not to be.

Bryon struggled to stay ahead of the transition. He said about every 4th frame the ball begin to check early. When he tried to stay ahead of the move he flat 10'd. That is the usual story of Bill's opponents.

Chris seemed to struggle with both the fresh and the late transition. That doesn't give a bowler much of a chance to win.

Dave continues to struggle with late game transitions which is something he is going to have to work on if he is going to get back to  a show.

Robert made a ball change late in the match that made the difference in the match. 6 of the 7 games were blow outs indicating the bowlers were spending a lot of time searching.

Paul seems to suffer through more transition than he should late in matches. I am not sure if that is ball choices or physical game. But it is the area of his game that he should work on.

Wes used the late game transition to his advantage in staying one step ahead of Pete.
