Was this the most bizarre ending to a championship match you’ve ever seen?

[unicorngamingxmkk]

The fact that wes let duke throws the last shot. Brought tears to my eyes. The sportsmanship showcased by wes mallott.

[larrysalaets]

So much respect for Kyle at the end with his comment regarding Arturo and MVP Trophy. Much respect. Great final. 🙏

Bizarre. Strange. Unbelievable. Exciting. Emotional. Adjectives not usually used for the sport of bowling but all very appropriate for this championship match! What a crowd! What an atmosphere! And What a send off for Norm! And The Big Nasty let Norm throw the last shot……and of course Norm struck!
WOW!!

Everything right with bowling happened here except an inconsolable Matt Ogle. Man I hope he bounces back. Can't wait to see Packy's vlog though

God I wish I watched this live. This is definitely one of the best PBA telecasts in my lifetime. So many things came together for an insane show.

Kris Prather missing that 9 pin is so unbelievable, I'd think it was scripted if I didn't know any better. But I do, and the pros always have trouble shooting spares with this crowd so I'm not surprised.

Also, I did tear up seeing Norm throw that last shot. He's my all-time favorite, sad to see him retire

This was one of the craziest endings since Belmonte's two 7-10s to lose to Simonsen in a major.

[squarewheel]

How can you not Love Norm. He's one of the good guys. Love ya Norm, thank you for all of the great memories.

[spylife]

Best finish of all. Farewell norm will be missed but never forgotten great watching you and congratulations to all the great bowlers

[mantid]

Thank you, Norm! And Congrats to the Lumberjacks! What an amazing finish, and that ending was crazy!!!

[JasonEmerson]

That last 4 frames was absolutely bananas.
I think it is probably safe to say we won't see an ending like THIS again.

[davidframe]

The match was over so it didn’t matter, but Wes could nearly have opened the 10th with a pocket 7-10. Crazy game.

[SportGuyDMV]

Wow that ending was wild. The pressure got to the pros in the end....wow

[drwisdom]

Excellent job of Fox Sports in compressing this competition. That made it very watchable and fast moving. The last half of the final match was unusual, embarrassing, and exciting. It was a masterpiece in choking.

[myobacctsgirl]

I'm a Grandma watching from New Zealand. Wow what a comp ending. Watched you over the years Norm. Thank you for the entertainment!

I met Norm Duke and had dinner with him at a Bowl Expo around 2008. What a GREAT Guy!
