Wes Malott Wins PBA Player Of The Year!

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.”
