Michael Haugen Jr. wins.  Barnes chokes again by missing a 1-pin spare.

One of the best shows Ive seen in my life! Way to never give up for Haugen. I knew once Barnes started leaving 9s that it was gonna be close. Congrats to Haugen! Barnes sucks! WOOOOOOOO

It was a choke but give props to Michael for keeping his mind in the game and he made a key ball change.  Radar Lock on Right and changed to Max Velocity on the left..

This show is going straight to ESPN Classic.  It was that good.  I'm glad to see Michael Haugen Jr. comeback like that.

DITTO! He had the match sewn up..what the heck happened? It was one of the best matches this season. Thoroughly enjoyed it. I thought Haugen, Jr. was out of it early.

Wow! Barnes...OMG!

Barnes looked absolutely empty after leaving the open frame. I mean total emptiness. Never seen that before in a pro bowler.

Let's keep it civil but here is why there is no denying he choked: he missed a 10 pin.  It wasn't a split.  It wasn't bad luck.  It wasn't the lanes.  It was him.  Chris is a great bowler but he lacks the internal mental state that the greats have in any sport like Michael Jordan or Tiger Woods.  It is a shame really.
