This show was televised on CBS Sports Network. The USBC, PWBA, and CBS own the all the rights, I do not. This upload is for those that don't have the channel available and would like to watch the show.
Fantastic bowling from all four players. No 10-pins missed, great control of the pocket, could have gone for anybody. First time I see Maria. Excellent ball reaction, really like her style.
On Monday I showed up a bit late to the playoffs. So, I was scrambling to find a seat. I sat next to a couple of women and thought nothing of it until I looked at the brackets. The woman directly to my right was Maria Jose Rodriguez. Didn't know who she was (or if she was a player or just a spectator). I knew who Rocio was, but not her or Summer Jasmine (who I had a nice conversation with about turning pro). I did strike up a small chat with them. I'm horrible at that sort of thing, so I hope I did not bore them with it. All in all, Maria had to go through a lot to get to the finals. Monday, her and Rocio's match was delayed until Tuesday morning (because of the crazy weather we had outdoors). There after, she had to compete for the rest of the tournament all in one day. Its so cool to see her win. I hope, going forward, that 2 things happen. 1. The fandom can grow. Even if the weather was nice, not many people would show for the playoffs. Its a shame, really. These ladies are hella good, and this thing should be an event. 2. PWBA can find a way to promote these athletes better. (Shoutout to the couple from ATL (guy in black cap). They are superfans who watches the PWBA live when they are in the East Coast. They are so much fun to talk with.)
All the attention to O’Keefe I don’t get. She certainly has a nice set of pegs, but isn’t exactly a real looker with the raccoon eyes and very average facial features.
Thanks for sharing this, some very high caliber bowling by both champions. Kelly with a run put pressure on Maria, and Maria responds. Tough conditions, light hit rips the rack, but go high flush and the 10 pins stays.
Wow Shannon o keefe with a bad 9th frame shot if that didn't happen she would of won congratulations to Shannon on her player of the year she's so awesome
Maria: "Sport shot? Nah, this is a house shot. Just throw it somewhere to the right and watch it come back for the strike. Like shooting fish in a barrel."
It is very obvious that the commentators wanted for Kelly to win, but Maria is a very good bowler too. This is the 2nd time she beat Kelly Kulick. They are both great bowlers in my opinion.
I just want to know, if there is a way to watch a particular tournament sequentially on the same page. Because I love watching these but I get lost and can't find my way to the next tournament.
Sorry, the white lanes don't work on camera. It just doesn't. And there's precedence to this... Decades ago, boxing rings were always white, which was terribly bad when color television became the mainstream. By the 1970s, boxing tried different colors, and settled with blue for the most part. Blue looks good on camera, as does other bland colors like the color of wood. And for decades, the natural brownish color of wood on a bowling lane worked. And blue is the chosen color by the PBA for the TV pair's conditioner - it just works! Using a white-ish color for the bowling surface just does not work, just like gold didn't work on bowling pins. Stop fudging around with the sport, and keep the sport pure!
Does anyone know why Rodriguez was allowed to use an abralon pad between each shot on her ball? I'm not familiar with PWBA rules but in USBC and PBA you cannot alter the surface of the ball once official play has begun.
Without going back and watching the video again, I think she was using the Motiv pad which is round and one of the color options is red. It's made to clean the oil from the ball and does not alter surface. It's not legal to use Abralon pads during the game.
It's terrible how people rely on equipment to make them bowl "better". Like fuck the wrist guard and all the tape and shit. Just bowl with your clothes on,shoes on, and throw your damn bowling ball. Even the damn rags,like why are you constantly wiping the oil off the ball? I swear some people just go way too hard sometimes.

Love watching these women, amazing athletes!
Bowlers are not athletes. I’m a lifelong bowler, and I am certainly no athlete. Bowling and golf are not a sport, they are a game. I do both.
Thank you from the UK for the upload.
Great commentary by Stephanie Johnson. I always enjoy the pros' perspective on what they see going on.
Great show! Thank you for the upload.

I just woke up....and.....surprise! Thank you for posting. Hugs.
Cars
Excellent final match!
thanks for the upload!
Hoy volví a ver de nuevo está final y me emocioné igual que aquella primera vez; grande María !!
Saludos !!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
the 1st semi final and title matches of the Tour Championship provided the best finishes
There could be four pins left on the deck and he’ll still say, “all ten back”.
I love watching Maria bowl I’m in search of more videos of her physical game
i love the way every bowler smiles
Especially Shannon O'Keefe.....lol
All the attention to O’Keefe I don’t get. She certainly has a nice set of pegs, but isn’t exactly a real looker with the raccoon eyes and very average facial features.
Thanks so much for posting the show. That was exciting!!
Bueno que buena jugadora!!!!!
Maria sei brava e bella
They both bowled great. Winning and losing is determined by one ten pin.
USBC commentator Emil Williams had Maria Jose Rodriguez going to the final match against Shannon O'Keefe, but with Shannon defending her title.
Thanks much bosoares!

Not now
Congrats to Maria and the motiv bowling crew
Wao, nice game! thanks all.
Awesome bowling by Maria Jose Rodriguez!
GREAT match MARIA! Whoop whoop!
Now, that was a great match! Congrats to both Maria and Kelly.
Yesssssss
wow the carry is ridiculous so many lucky shots
She's Beautiful❤❤❤
懷念年輕時打保齡球的時代。
Wow Shannon o keefe with a bad 9th frame shot if that didn't happen she would of won congratulations to Shannon on her player of the year she's so awesome
Wow Maria & Motiv...M & M!!!
Thanks bosoares
Motiv !! All day !!

Yup little love from them to Maria😦
nakapaa kellys done, needs to retire
wow shannon kicks out everything
Go Colombia 😍
Roy - spoiler alert! Thanks for saying who won prior to having the opportunity to watch :(
Stephanie Johnson definitely knows a thing or two about luck after the last major lol
I was rooting for Kelly. Looked like she bumped her leg the first shot in the 10th
Maria has the best smile on tour. Both finalists required a little more power.
Was rooting for Kelly 😤
no range finder arrows(the ones there are 4 of) ? those kinda outdated ?
Sound is horrible, 1/2 of it cut out or there was odd noise from the mics
It's just a black screen but I can hear everything
I just want to know, if there is a way to watch a particular tournament sequentially on the same page. Because I love watching these but I get lost and can't find my way to the next tournament.
All ten back is apparently a pet phrase.
simpler times

Danielle McEwan is an incredible bowler but she'd be worth watching for those great legs.
If all your shots are strikes, do not ask the pins to be re-rack! That will change your luck as I noticed that all the time.
Most pros do it to slow themselves down especially when the 10th frame comes and they need to execute. Also, some do it when they see an off pin.
Does anyone else see that huge pin or did I smoke some bad grass?
LIKE FOR THE FORD MUSTANG
This can't be in Dunstable, England
The 2 commentators are pro Kelly,Maria deserved to win just as Kelly.
I felt the same way too!
Maria higher rev rate let her shots missed right still carry
does anyone know what ball danielle mcewan was throwing
bowling ball

@@bosoares That seems to be what it is. Thanks for the info.
Hu nkauj
Who or what is Hammer
Why does Mcewan reach down and touch her foot before she rolls the ball?
Not touching her foot. Making sure the bottom of her slide shoe is clean and dry.
How do you work 600 hours in 12 days?
@shepramsey6 Thanks for clearing that up lol. All i could think was there isn't 600 hours in 12 days haha.
The term I learned for this kind of thing in project planning is 600 man-hours
Easy you work out of this world...duh
Why did they have to build lanes for this event? They couldn't find a place to bowl there? Doesn't seem cost effective.
pipimp100 it can damage lanes to build stands on adjacent lanes in an alley
Dave Ryan. That beard isn't working dude. I don't even want to say what that looks like.
Jesus. Looks more forgiving than A house shot
It's terrible how people rely on equipment to make them bowl "better". Like fuck the wrist guard and all the tape and shit. Just bowl with your clothes on,shoes on, and throw your damn bowling ball. Even the damn rags,like why are you constantly wiping the oil off the ball? I swear some people just go way too hard sometimes.
And you probably wonder why your bowling game is not getting anywhere.
Why is Kelly allowed to wear pants , when everyone else wears skirts ?
Who gives a shit what they are wearing? Maybe not super feminine or comfortable in a skirt.
This is disgraceful that the cameras are filming the ladies from the back and below and they are wearing skirts, please stop this.
If they don’t film from the back, it’s hard to see the ball travel.

The white lanes suck to watch on TV.
