Danny Wiseman is known on the PBA Tour as one of the toughest bowlers on TV to beat. But, despite being the all-time leader in TV winning percentage (71% ), Wiseman had not won a title since the fail of 1995. Wiseman showed everyone he's still tough to beat as he knocked off rookie Sean Swanson to win the PBA Oregon Open. Wiseman, who used to live in Portland but now makes his home in Baltimore, earned his seventh career title and the $19,000 first-place check with his 213-191 defeat of Swanson. The win improved his record in televised championship rounds to 28-11 (71.79% ), best in the history of the PBA Tour. Wiseman's 213 game was the highest of the day in the championship round. "I was trying to focus on my game and not even look at the score or what Sean was doing," said Wiseman. "I realized when I was winning on TV, I wasn't paying attention to the score. I did that and it worked."
