By the way, heed means to "give careful attention to; to consider."

I don't see how you are being humble by calling someone a choker.

Hypocritical, definitely!

I think that a choker is someone that doesnt perform under pressure in the same way as they would if there were no pressure.I know this from experiance.It is my belief that its a mental thing.Physical is only half of the game,Mental is the other half,if you trully want to be great at what you do

I know what you are alluding to; however, sometimes "The Spirit is Willing, but The Body isn't".  (Incidentally, Pete Weber tripped over his own feet on his first shot and went over the foul line--would you call that choking?)

It looked to me as if Chris's mechanics were off on the 10 pin shot (stood straight up at delivery), and who doesn't do that every now and then?

I don't know anyone that doesn't struggle at times, whether they're under bright lights or not.

Even the great ones are fallible.

If Chris Barnes was a choker, he would not have qualified 1st for the week (in addition to being the only bowler on yesterday's telecast that also qualified for the doubles tournament to be aired next week).

Give the guy a break!

Everyone already knows that Chris Barns is a great bowler.  If he had won every time he made it to the show...but no-one wins every show - life is not like that.  Most of the exempt bowlers don't get to the show.  The life of a pro bowler must be extremely hard.  Several of the touring pros post here from time to time - I wish the best for all of them and their families.

Umm, Haugen qualified 1st, and went 15-3 in match play. He went 4-1 against Barnes this week including the finals.  Pretty solid all week.

Right you are (see how easy it is to err).

Nevertheless, Chris bowled pretty solid all week as well.

Micheal Haugen looked good all game.Seemed a bit humble too.I hope with this awesome victory he doesnt start acting like a Barnes or a Malott or a Collins when he's on tv.Love his straight game
