WORST Parker Bohn III moments on TV ｜ PBA Bowling Rewind

Aside from Earl Anthony who was in a league of his own, Parker Bone III is arguably the next best left-handed bowler of all time. He owns 35 tour titles which places him in fifth on the all-time list and he had a very very long career. The only tiny negative thing you could say about his career is that he probably should have won a lot more major titles. He only won one major in his prime and then won two further majors towards the end of his career but as we shall see later in this video he had quite a lot of misfortune during title matches and could have easily won more titles. So in this video we're going to look at Parker's worst ever moments on TV and we will start today's list with number four the 2013 Cheetah Championship. We'll do it for the pattern that one cuts around two pin into the 610 open frame oh boy big four and and there's the storyline for Parker Bone III it's the troubles on the left lane We start towards the end of Parker's career where he was the one seed at the 2013 Cheetah Championship and he would play Wes Mallott for the title but an open frame in the fifth put him in a pretty big hole especially as Mallott had the front five. Bone then left the big four in the seventh frame to basically end his hopes of winning the title. It's always difficult coming in as the one seed but the left lane was Parker's nemesis in this match. Number three the 1996 Players Championship. On television not struggling too much today Parker Bones our champion one of the great clutch bowlers Parker did everything he could do it wasn't enough. Parker lost in four title matches at the Players Championship and this was the second one of those against Mike Albee. Both players were putting on a great showing and it was a high scoring match. Parker was working on four strikes and was down by nine heading into the tenth frame and to be fair he did everything he possibly could and put in a very clutch performance getting all three strikes in the tenth to force Albee to get a double in the tenth frame. Albee got the first strike but his second shot was very fortunate as he tripped the 710 to capture the title. The final score was 259 to 268. I felt that to lose bowling a 259 game especially with the fortunate break Albee got meant that this was deserving of a place on this list. Number two the 1999 Players Championship. Right now Marshall has to be the top choice for 1999 PBA player of the year and could not have had a worse break to open up the match a solid 710. This week bouncing off the backboard here it comes doesn't quite knock out the 10 pin but the kickbacks are very lively this week Gary today as well. Parker's made three shots he has not received one break yet not only before he won a super bowl to validate this man's career a major has got to happen and that was his third second place finish in the masters or you can go right between them he's going to the right gets all but the four pin Now we jump ahead to the 1999 Players Championship and this was the fourth title match that he had lost at this event. Once again he was the one seed and would face Steve Hoskins in the final and it was a bad start for Parker with two opens in the first four frames. Meanwhile Hoskins went strike spare and then six in a row to easily win this one 246 to 183. It was another disappointing final for Parker in this event and he just couldn't get lined up quickly enough to get himself into the match. However I should mention that Parker did finally get some revenge for all these title match losses when he finally won a Players Championship title in 2015. Number one the 1998 Masters. Right now Mike Albee 32 pins to the good over Parker with the strike. Won the 1995 American Bowling Congress Masters here that year and again looking for his third the first person ever to do that if he wins three. And there is the great break the break that the break that Norm Duke got last week when he made that bad shot and cut the deficit down to 11 pins really put himself back in this game and it's a solid seven solid seven pin for for Parker that Mike Albee stole the strike on previously and look at that now that's a brain cramp right there folks should not have happened just wasn't thinking. Mark of the ninth mark of the 10th he's your champion oh bad shot to get the ball to the right hand side of that six pin slide it over into the seven look at that folks there's a championship championship winning shot. Finally we come to the 1998 Masters and two years after their Players Championship matchup Bone and Albee would face off again. It was a bad start for Parker with two big splits to open the match and then he left the bucket which he did spare but he did rally after this with four in a row but then left a seven pin in the eighth which he missed. Just to add some salt into the wound he struck the frame after but now the advantage was firmly with Albee who would win with two closed frames. His ninth shot went high and he left the 6-7 but made the conversion and talk about a championship winning shot although of course he would still need a mark in the 10th too and while he did make a little bit hard work of it leaving the 2-4 he managed to make the spare. You could say Albee did deserve to win after picking up that split but the seven pin miss from Parker essentially cost him the title here and there we have it those were what I thought were Parker Bone the third worst ever moments on TV and perhaps you feel there should have been some other moments that could have made this list you can of course let me know your thoughts in the comment section below and let me know if there are any other players you'd like me to do a worst or indeed a best moments video for.
