Professional Bowlers Association

Pete Weber may be back, but Brian Voss showed his good friend and doubles partner he's still the man to beat, proving the point with a 225-194 victory in the $140,000 Bowlers Journal Florida Open at host Shore Lanes. Voss advanced from the second seed to collect his seventh PBA title and reaffirm his reigning PBA Player of the Year mantle should not be taken lightly. He earned $23,000 for his first victory In 11 months on tour, tied one PBA record and nearly established a second record en route.

Weber and Voss were neck-and-neck through three frames of the championship game when Voss opened after facing the 4-6-7 split and then converted the 3-10 "baby split." Meanwhile, Weber stayed clean, but couldn't double until the sixth and seventh frames. Voss came back with a five-bagger and when Weber left the 2-10 in his eighth frame, he turned the lead back to Voss. Obviously disturbed with the split he had just left following what he felt was a good shot, Weber overcompensated in the ninth frame when his first shot found the channel. Voss then needed only a spare to clinch and he struck on his first 10th-frame shot.

After tying a PBA record by winning the championship after tying for the final spot in the 24-man match play finals, Voss nearly claimed a second record (best match play record) after winning his first 19 games. Mike McGrath holds a 16-0 record for 16-man match play finals (Paramus, N.J., 1969) and George Pappas went 22-2 at the King Louie Open In 1974. Voss lost three consecutive games after his 19-0 start and ended with a 20-4 match play record.
