$125,000 ANGLE OPEN
Dick Weber Lanes, Florissant, Mo., Feb 6-11, 1984
Burton Angles Record
Nelson Burton Jr. bowled a record-breaking four-game series as he captured the $125,000 Angle Open. The PBA Hall of Famer and ABC-TV's expert commentator qualified fourth for the stepladder finals and averaged 262, totaling 1050 for the afternoon en route to the $20,000 top prize and his 17th PBA championship.
Burton's first victim was Paul Gibson, 278-218. Marshall Holman went down next, 279-217. The tightest match was against Pete Couture who pressured Burton to roll a 10th frame double, which Burton did, to record a 257-249 victory.
Top-seeded Pete Weber could not keep up with Burton's strike blitz, losing 236-184, in the familiar surroundings of Dick Weber Lanes. Burton's series surpassed the previous record of 1021 set by Larry Laub in 1972.

[@markrichmond2168]

In 1970 I was 14 years old and kept score at Westminster Lanes in Westminster California in Orange County California. I kept score during the 10 game marathon which started at midnight and usually ended around 5 am. One night the doors opened and a little entourage entered the place and in the middle was Bo Burton. Ohs and ahs went up all over the place. He proceeded to shoot 174 the first game and all the big house bowlers were saying under their breaths: " this guy ain't special we can whip his ass". He then proceeded to bowl 9 games never under 235. So much for that eh! That was the year he won Bowler of the Year in the PBA.

Bo was at his best that day, probably his last hurrah. I went out to Bob Simonelli at Brooklyn Bowlmart (long gone) and bought a Black Hammer within days after the show. First Time I averaged 190+ was with that ball. I had the ball for 3 years and shot some of my early honor scores and won my first tournament with it. The game was starting change and that ball started the transition IMHO.

Pete was always a punk. He was a druggie as a teen, and as big a jerk as you'll ever see. The only reason he didn't get his tail kicked was because his dad was Dick Weber, and the only reason he didn't become a bully was because he was a pipsqueak and posed no threat. As a junior, nobody liked bowling on the pair next to him, but few complained too loudly. If Pete complained to his dad you'd get the stink-eye and sometimes a request to leave.
