1989 Budweiser Touring Players Championship - Match Play

I attended the match play portion of the 1989 Budweiser Touring Players Championship at Taylor Lanes in Taylor, Michigan. I filmed this video on November 30, 1989. The next day tournament leader Amleto Monacelli won the title, defeating Brian Voss. Monacelli went on to be voted 1989 P.B.A. Player of the Year by his peers, edging out Mike Aulby for the honor.

So was this your video camera, or one they used to rent out for these events? :)

LOVE it!

Who was the guy bowling at 0:30?

[brgvt97]

@vanni9283 Leroy Bornhop. He won the 1987 Budweiser Classic in Columbus, Ohio, his lone P.B.A. title. It was a very infamous tournament, with incredibly tough lane conditions and low scores. He beat Amleto Monacelli in the title match, 169-160. Dave Husted shot a 135 in the semi-final game.

@brgvt97

Is that the 2nd lowest score of all time, behind Steve Jaros' 129 at the 1992 Brunswick Memorial World Open???

I also see Tony Marrese a few times on this video. ; )

@vanni9283 No. Earlier this year at the TOC, Tom Daugherty lost to Mika Koivuniemi 299-100. Roy Buckley had a 131 one time. Bob Vespi had a 133 in the title match of the 1992 P.B.A. National Championship. Marshall Holman had a 134 in the 1989 A&W Pro Bowlers Classic in Phoenix, AZ.
