I don't care if it was cocky or not. It's just really nice to see somebody doing a little talking on the lane. It's bringing a little life to the telecasts again!
After reading through the comments, I feel compelled to share my experience of having been around the bowlers and everyone else involved in this event. I was there all week bartending and I initially expected some of the "arrogance" that others talk about, but I was pleasantly surprised at how very down to earth and approachable everyone was. We had legends (such as John Petraglia-a real gentelman, and Pete Weber) of this sport going out of their way to thank and to show appreciation to not just me, but to other employees and volunteers. I worked long hours but had an awesome experience! I do hope they continue to have the Tournament of Champions at Riviera Lanes! I also wanted to share a neat little side note-during the last match, I had given a customer change and one of the bills (unbeknownst to me at the time) had the word "grady" written on it. Shortly after that transaction, O'Grady won ( the customer came back to me to show me the lucky bill that seemed to predict the winner-that he then had autographed ). I guess it's true what they say- money doesn't lie!
mmerriman thank you for sharing your experience! It's great to see that after reading so many of these keyboard warriors mouth off and speak poorly of these professionals of bowling.
Here's the thing about O'Grady. Back in this time period, he was a stuck-up, selfish jerk. I don't know much about his attitude now, and I do know that he's a good bowler, but being great at something doesn't make it okay to be an asshole.
One heck of a tournament! Congrats to the winner. I just barely found out about PBA and these tournaments days ago but watching these has been super cool and entertaining.
Shame to see lots of O'Grady bashing here. He made good shots all day under a lot of pressure and I didn't hear him say anything that would have upset a maiden aunt, let alone a tough pair of pros like Belmo and Jesper. Well done, not an easy pair by any means. He got the breaks, notably the Belmo chop of course, but hey, Belmo would be the first to say, "I made a crappy shot there which left a choppable spare". I bet he has already resolved to throw a back up at that one for the rest of his career!

@@NateCraven318 So it goes! Bowling can bring out the best and the worst in all of us! However, I would say that what you see is not always the whole truth.
I mean, when you say stupid shit like "hard work beats talent every time", youre implying that your opponents aren't hard workers, which is a pretty shitty (and inaccurate) thing to say. It's also just a tired cliche that shouldn't be said in 2018 anyway.
I can't believe people are complaining that the audio is literally less than a half second behind. It's still perfectly enjoyable. If you hate it that much, set your DVR to record it next time.
I just watched how Matt made made the show. He shot a 156 in position round (final game) and made it in by just 10 pins. He parlayed that into this stepladder run
Thanks for posting this video. Really enjoyed it. Belmo relaxed a little after his opponent missed his spare and missed a really easy spare by his standards. Wow, just wow...
Robo Cop can’t agree with you on that one. A nine time major winner doesn’t worry about what his opponent does, they worry about what they do. If anything, he missed the spare because he missed left on the first ball.
stryx247 Then why do Belmo often miss after his opponent misses? Ive seen him done that on several occasions. I think it may be because he loosens up and loses focus sometimes when he sees opponents get open frames. It doesnt matter if you disagree. I have stated my opinion so thats that.
@@samm.7957 He did win congratulations to him. What I'm saying is if ' hard work beats talent all the time". Where was he when belmo won his 13 majors.
@@sulemagutierrez working a full time job in a pro shop, now currently a rep for Dexter. He bowls part time on tour... Love Belmo to death, but not everyone has the red carpet rolled out to them early on in their career because of a gimmick technique (at the time, not currently) that turns into one of the greatest bowlers in the history of the PBA.
Always remember Johnny Petraglia winning the Springfield, VA stop in 1972 when he averaged 233 to qualify, including a 300 en route. I was 16 and hung out at the lanes to watch the entire tournament. 233 average in 1972 was monstrous given the conditions and equipment. JP was incredible.
For everyone saying Matt is rude and what not his quote has always been a true statement. Hard work does beat talent when talent doesn't work hard. That's how life is and he is just proving he has worked hard on his game and wants to say that and it shows how passionate he is
Liam Barron I get what you're saying but in my opinion he worked harder. Yes Jason lost weight before. But Matt practiced and worked out all the time. And he is right tho. Hard work will beat talent every time. It all comes down to practice and physical game
Shaun McIsaac I’m sure they work on their game, just not as hard as O’Grady did this week. If by beating Belmo and Jesper in a major doesn’t prove that, then I don’t know what to tell you.
RE: Hard work vs talent... Not really. Work on your game all you want, you're not going to ever beat an NBA player 1 on 1. Not with 20 years of working on your game. Same for Chess grand masters, etc. Bowling is one of the few sports/games where lower skilled players can win semi-regularly due to variance. It's a single game format in the stepladder finals. Bowling scores are mathematically constrained (e.g. only 12 frames rather than a timed game like basketball or recorded outs like in baseball or cricket). On the plus side, it makes the telecasts less predictable. I can't imagine watching a college football game like Alabama or USC vs some random "schedule filler" school, who you know they will beat by damn near 80, is fun.
How is he rude? What the fuck?? just because he screams out all the adrenaline rushing thru his chest on a major title he hasn't been to. No shit you are going to get pumped. Did he do anything to distract his competitors? No. Fuck off
Everyone hating on O'grady, you got to realize the guy laughs through life and doesn't take anything too seriously. He has always been like this even since juniors, he is just bringing a little bit of light and comedy to an otherwise overly serious world.
If you haven't met a person in real time yourself and got to know them outside of the game you shouldn't have too much to say in these comments. The O'Grady I know is a awesome person with a great personality and a true passion for the game!
I grew up bowling juniors vs guys like Corey Husted, Cameron Weir and Dean Richards in the PNW, and yea I could avg 200 at a young age but I couldn't compete with the elite juniors. However, I used to get this bowl.com junior magazine every now and then and inside it would show how many 300's were shot state-by-state by juniors for a portion of the year and id always see guys like Matt O'Grady and John Szczerbinski with multiple 300's. I didn't shoot my first till I was 17, on July 06'. Im 29 now and O'Grady is 31. Im pulling for him. The junior scene in the early 2000's was bringing high caliber players along.
Either people are yelling at Matt for helping his mental game or salty belmo didn't get his 1000th lucky messenger. Matt O Grady climbed the ladder and his victory was well deserved. great job Matt!
to all you bowlers who think Jason just GAVE HIM THE MATCH...how many matches did bolwers give to Jason????don't act like he was not on the receiving end of some luck in his title wins!!!
No. I say that by what we saw. The last two matches were quite hard to watch. Lots of bad shots that had nothing to do with the pattern. Belmonte was the only one that was really consistent, and thus would have easily won the tournament if not for the spare he missed.
I'm actually not a big Belmo fan. I'm just saying that he would have easily won the tournament since Anderson and Svensson had no idea what to do and were throwing bad shots. Belmonte would have easily beaten them, but that unfortunate chop spare cost him the chance for an easy major title. I appreciate the defense, though.
Considering how much the urethane that Anderson threw messed with the outside of the lane, there's not guarantee that it wouldn't have made Belmo develop over/under reaction. Never know what'll happen until it plays out. Belmonte is prone to making plenty of mental mistakes himself in pressure situations.
I think Belmo had a good look, so with the way Jesper looked in the final if Belmo was fortunate enough to get there ya, I think He wins Major # 10. That being said, I don't think the chop is going to "haunt him forever". Guy's 9 Majors deep, he's failed before. It's not a big deal, get back up and get the next one. It would only haunt him if he's a guy that doesn't get to those situations often.
Matt O’Grady: 219 B.J. Moore lll: 174 Matt O’Grady: 229 Jason Belmonte: 225 Matt O’Grady: 194 Andrew Anderson: 185 Matt O’Grady: 207 Jesper Svensson: 193 O’Grady Wins!
People are saying Jason should have won and the messenger should have hit the 10 pin but it didn't hit it and he didn't win. People saying "it should have hit" "he should have won" shouldn't be saying that because if the pin should have hit it would have and id like one of these people to elaborate on why it "should have hit".
After the first ball that ogrady throws in the 3rd frame against Andrew Anderson, Randy literally states that his tour nickname was "TRASH PANDA!" HAHAHAHAHAHAH😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Directed toward those who indicate his arrogance. I am not sure that it was directed toward anyone but himself, if you watched the interview at the end. He clearly indicates that because of his life change, he knows what hard work can do to change his personal outcomes.
Amazing sportsmanship from Jesper, he had a terrible game (for him anyway) and he simply was out bowled, but still applauded and congratulated his opponent, lot of respect to Jesper, and congrats Matt!
Congrats to O’ Grady that he won but... “Hardwork beats talent every time baby”. That’s just ridiculous, the other pros are more hardworking than him after he won the TOC.
So many idiots calling Matt rude or whatever. Guys like him, Pete Weber, Tom Daugherty, and others make bowling fun. Trash talking is a part of sports. Nobody wants a bunch of boring zero personality guys like Francois Lavoie on every episode.
Not at all. Rudeness really affects their rival's performance on the lanes. Half of the people on my league trash talk and roast while bowling and they win almost every time.
Guys the man said nothing bad "hard work beats talent" is not meaning anyone is less than him or even implying anything directly towards anyone his point is hard work pays off every time which is true. Everyone works hard some work harder than others but the fact is you earn every step nothing is given to you. I've met him before at some tournaments I bowled in he is one of the nicest guys you'll meet out there, Guys like him naturally have to work harder than the top dogs on tour he worked his ass off and earned it just like everyone else who fought for it. People are way too sensitive these days I mean you blink the wrong way and your the worst human being ever give me a break.
sIcK nIcK it was still not the best thing to say. It sounds like he's implying guys like Jesper and Belmo don't work or that they take titles for granted. And that's far from the truth.
Dead wrong man that was my point with the comment it wasn't towards anyone at all nothing was directed towards anyone he's not talking down to anyone or taking anything away from anyone, He also wasn't speaking about himself he's talking in general that anyone that works hard pays off and it does. EVERYONE works hard to be out there no one is less no one is more everyone is fighting for the same thing. Honestly I take that comment as inspiration to always work as hard as possible keep pushing yourself to new levels and never stop moving forward that's what that comment means in my opinion.
sIcK nIcK I gotta disagree because acknowledged Belmonte multiple times during the telecast call him the "world's best". And "you gotta beat the best to be the best." That was all directed at/referencing Belmo.
What does that have to do with the comment he made after he won? I'm talking about the "Hard work beats talent" comment. Jason has made those comments several times in the past to hall of famers so what a lot of those bowlers say that. Plus what the hell is bad about that comment anyway? that's a compliment to that person as far as I'm concerned how's that any kind of disrespect? I love Jason he's one of my favorites I'm not taking sides here I'm just saying the comments that were made were not disrespectful or out of place especially when a lot of guys on tour including Jason makes those comments as well.
I agree that the haters are 2 handed fan boys. Much deserved for O'Grady. Was routing for him during the qualifying rounds. If I could ever model a form it would be his.
I think o’Grady said those things because he felt disrespected after belmo walked away from his shot. I think he felt that belmo was basically saying you don’t have a chance against me.
TheIntrinity Or...or Belmonte was trying to concentrate on his game. I know he (Belmonte) has been on TV a lot, but you will be more focus on yourself rather then your surroundings. Believe me, sportsmanship is of course key, but while in a title match, it’s individual.
I know someone who was there and is personally good friends with O’grady. During the commercial breaks Belmo would play mind games and intrude on O’grady’s personal space (walk over to his side of the lane and hover/“test” his shoes) and what we saw here was O’grady’s response
Matt O'Grady is my new favourite blower. He's actually got a personality! & He gives hope to the little guy. Shame about the out of sync sound. Sort it out PBA!
I don't care if it was cocky or not. It's just really nice to see somebody doing a little talking on the lane. It's bringing a little life to the telecasts again!
It is nice to be able to watch this on the actual pba channel first instead of another.

45:14 That Messenger Was So Close!
Thanks for posting this video. Really enjoyed it. Belmo relaxed a little after his opponent missed his spare and missed a really easy spare by his standards. Wow, just wow...
If he puts his thumb in the ball and uncups his wrist he makes that spare. Yanking it left twice isn't relaxing, it's choking.
stryx247 You misunderstood... He let his focus off because his opponent missed his spare! If he was behind there he probably woulda picked it off.

Awsome match
Jesper’s 9th frame was a 4-pin, not a 6
Directed toward those who indicate his arrogance. I am not sure that it was directed toward anyone but himself, if you watched the interview at the end. He clearly indicates that because of his life change, he knows what hard work can do to change his personal outcomes.
Matt did an amazing job; he climbed the ladder and beat the odds. Congrats to Matt; heartbroken for Belmo. That was a bad and unlucky messenger.
Would love to see PDW in this.
joe s he would fking fight with o Grady
joe s weber will fucking smack him down using only the tip his nose
He would have gotten his old butt whipped!
Hard work beats talent. What he meant by that is that Jesper is more talented but Grady worked his ass off so that’s why he won.
Except Jesper's got 7 titles and a major. I gotta disagree that "Hard work beats talent" every time.
Also, Matt's comments imply that jester and belmo didn't work hard as well. And that's bullshit.
Everytime i watch this im like “sooo Matt didnt work hard after this tournament???” Lmaoo we dont even see him anymore but Congrats to him tho lmao
Sending my congratulations wishes to Matt O'Grady on his first PBA title and major championship! Great bowling, Matt!
That was a backhanded comment towards Belmo. would have liked to see Svensen get it. oh well.
Bloody hell Adam Sandler won a bowling tournament 😲
Amazing sportsmanship from Jesper, he had a terrible game (for him anyway) and he simply was out bowled, but still applauded and congratulated his opponent, lot of respect to Jesper, and congrats Matt!

I am Belmo's fan but something about him felt off :( he looked irritated after something ... what happened to him?
Manu Dauphin Maybe he chopped the 6,10 spare and that brutal messager that missed the ten pin. Or was more focus on his game.
Yo anybody catch that tinder reference that Randy made at 37:47? 😂😂
I wanted Jesper to win but congratulations to o Grady
Yes
Omgggg I meet Andrew Anderson at the masters at bowl one omggg
Absolutly amazing bowling
i think yall need to reupload. delayed audio
Guys the man said nothing bad "hard work beats talent" is not meaning anyone is less than him or even implying anything directly towards anyone his point is hard work pays off every time which is true. Everyone works hard some work harder than others but the fact is you earn every step nothing is given to you. I've met him before at some tournaments I bowled in he is one of the nicest guys you'll meet out there, Guys like him naturally have to work harder than the top dogs on tour he worked his ass off and earned it just like everyone else who fought for it. People are way too sensitive these days I mean you blink the wrong way and your the worst human being ever give me a break.
sIcK nIcK it was still not the best thing to say. It sounds like he's implying guys like Jesper and Belmo don't work or that they take titles for granted. And that's far from the truth.
Dead wrong man that was my point with the comment it wasn't towards anyone at all nothing was directed towards anyone he's not talking down to anyone or taking anything away from anyone, He also wasn't speaking about himself he's talking in general that anyone that works hard pays off and it does. EVERYONE works hard to be out there no one is less no one is more everyone is fighting for the same thing. Honestly I take that comment as inspiration to always work as hard as possible keep pushing yourself to new levels and never stop moving forward that's what that comment means in my opinion.
sIcK nIcK I gotta disagree because acknowledged Belmonte multiple times during the telecast call him the "world's best". And "you gotta beat the best to be the best." That was all directed at/referencing Belmo.
What does that have to do with the comment he made after he won? I'm talking about the "Hard work beats talent" comment.
Jason has made those comments several times in the past to hall of famers so what a lot of those bowlers say that. Plus what the hell is bad about that comment anyway? that's a compliment to that person as far as I'm concerned how's that any kind of disrespect?
I love Jason he's one of my favorites I'm not taking sides here I'm just saying the comments that were made were not disrespectful or out of place especially when a lot of guys on tour including Jason makes those comments as well.
sIcK nIcK exactly. Talent=Belmo
Everyone is complaining about O Grady and how belmo should have won and im here complaining about the sound delay
1:33:37-1:33:40
“Hard Work BEATS Talent EVERYTIME” 👍
Discerning King which makes no sense at all lol 😂
@@seymourbutts563 sure it does, dude is an arrogant butt hole.
I agree that the haters are 2 handed fan boys. Much deserved for O'Grady. Was routing for him during the qualifying rounds. If I could ever model a form it would be his.
Svensson, the ninth frame, that was a four pin, not a six pin.
I think o’Grady said those things because he felt disrespected after belmo walked away from his shot. I think he felt that belmo was basically saying you don’t have a chance against me.
TheIntrinity Or...or Belmonte was trying to concentrate on his game. I know he (Belmonte) has been on TV a lot, but you will be more focus on yourself rather then your surroundings. Believe me, sportsmanship is of course key, but while in a title match, it’s individual.
I know someone who was there and is personally good friends with O’grady. During the commercial breaks Belmo would play mind games and intrude on O’grady’s personal space (walk over to his side of the lane and hover/“test” his shoes) and what we saw here was O’grady’s response
To think I used to look up to this guy. Wins one toc doesn’t know how to act afterwards 😅
Did anyone notice Connor Pickford and Anthony Simonsen in the background?
Rocky of the lanes
Cant believe that belmonte was using drive
Lawrence Tucay why not? It looked pretty good out there.
Lawrence Tucay storm designed it with him
제이슨벨몬트 정말로 아깞다
why a tight thumb hole? I thought the thumb exited the ball first, making it necessary to have a *loose* thumb hole.
Audio/video out of sync. Terrible job on this PBA/ESPN. Why would you even post this?
At the end of round 2 of qualifying I said to my dad Grady was gonna win and I was right. I impressed myself with that lmao
Over under on how many Pitch Blacks Jesper owns??
the Augusta national of ten pin bowling alleys Riviera Lanes @ Fairlawn, Ohio.
Matt O'Grady is my new favourite blower. He's actually got a personality! & He gives hope to the little guy. Shame about the out of sync sound. Sort it out PBA!
Bowler*🤦😂
What was the music when they did the player intros anybody know
