When 299-100 Is Not A Misprint In Bowling...

((HT: KLAS-TV/PBA/ESPN/Youtube))

Usually, you can say that 100 is a score the HQ can put up in an alley anytime it's requested...

But at the PBA Tour's Tournament of Champions, Mika Koivuniemi was one strike away from a 300 game on television in the national semi-final. Good enough for a $10,000 bonus. It would have been only the 21st time a 300 was bowled on TV, and the 5th in a major tourney...

If you don't want to watch Koivuniemi's first 11 strikes, go forward to the 20:20 mark and watch the end of the 10th...


But the other end of the semi was Tom Daugherty... the wheels completely came off for Daugherty and he almost didn't hit triple digits...
The quest for 100 concludes at the 18:20 mark...

Good sport...

By the way, Koivuniemi beat Tom Smallwood in the final for the major title.
The PBA's Jeff Mark catches up with Koivuniemi hyah...
