I never really have enjoyed the scoring pace being very high. It’s not something I pride myself on, being one of those guys that strikes all the time. It’s always been a grind for me and it’s something I really take into consideration when we come out on tour. I think the lanes are supposed to be a little harder. This week they didn’t play that way. It is what it is, we’ll go on to the Masters and the USBC will do the lanes there and hopefully they’ll be a little more challenging and have a better result.
“The week was a little disappointing. I felt like I came in to the week bowling pretty good, but just never really got comfortable trying to get the ball going through the pins. Everything was very high scoring this week, there were a lot of ups and downs, but I just never got anything going for 6 or 7 games in a row like a lot of the people out there.”
