Wes Mallot vs Michael Wilbon
April 15, 2009 by Bowl 900
Filed under Bowling Tips
After more than a month of friendly taunting and debate, ESPN’s Pardon the Interruption co-host Michael Wilbon accepted the challenge that 2009 PBA Bowler of the Year Wes Malott offered on March 4.
Wilbon traveled south to the Kegel Training Facility in Lake Wales, Fla., where he competed against Malott in a single-game, 10-frame match on Thursday. A casual bowler, Wilbon totaled an impressive 199. With Malott giving him a 57-pin handicap advantage entering the match, the PTI host surprised the crowd, Malott and even himself, defeating the PBA’s top kegler 256-248.
Wilbon said with a smile, “I now expect to go home and kick Tony Reali’s butt, Kornheiser’s butt, weekend hackers, I expect to kill them.”
Malott added: “We’ll see what Tony (Kornheiser) has to say. If he wants to come out, he’s more than welcome. Something like this is always good and as long as we have fun with it, it makes the season that much better.”
The Malott-Wilbon challenge will be aired as part of the five-week PBA King of Bowling Powered by AMP Energy series, Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET, April 22-May 20, on ESPN. The event took place April 8-10.

Wes Malott Wins PBA Player Of The Year!
April 15, 2009 by Bowl 900
Filed under Bowling News
The 2008-09 PBA Player Of The Year race came down to the final week of the tour as many thought it would. Wes Malott entered the final week with a slim margin over Norm Duke and Chris Barnes. Wes bowled well all week but finished just outside of the cut while Barnes and Duke finished as the number three and number one qualifiers respectively. Barnes was taken out by Mike Scroggins in the Semi-finals by the score of 200-199. Scroggins then moved on to defeat Duke by the score of 191-173 and Malott was crowned PBA Player Of The Year.
Wes recently sat down with Storm Products’ Multi-media Director, Louie Wemett.
Louie Wemett – Well, first of all, how does it feel? What a thrill…PBA Player of the Year.
Wes Malott – It really hasn’t sunk in yet. The race went right down to the last frame. I was headed to the airport when I got the news from Parker Bohn. He called me and told me I was Player of the Year. When Chris (Barnes) left the solid 8 to lose to Mike Scroggins, I thought to myself, “maybe it’s meant to be.”
