PBA 60th Anniversary Most Memorable Moments

The largest pin differential in a PBA televised match occurred when Mika Koivuniemi defeated Tom Daugherty, 299-100, in the 2011 PBA Tournament of Champions at Red Rock in Las Vegas. Daugherty’s 100 remains the lowest score bowled on a PBA national telecast while Koivuniemi joined Don Johnson (1970) as the second bowler to shoot 299 in the TOC televised finals. He then defeated Tom Smallwood, 269-207, to become the first international player to win the TOC. The historical event featured the first $1 million purse in PBA history and a $250,000 first prize. It was the first live PBA event aired on ABC Television since 1997.

The record for biggest score differences between two opponents will never be broken.

[@jordanboteler8978]

emerald3331 unless someone gets 300 and the other 100 that be highest

[@mau88ize]

@@jordanboteler8978 Lower than 100 and the other makes 300, its impossible to happen but its the possibility

[@TommyWeiss-v2p]

I beat my sister 52-298

[@MillionaireWizard]

At first, we laughed at Tom Daugherty, for his 100 game. Now, we praise Tom Daugherty, for winning the 2021 PBA World Championship.

[@jah9253]

He certainly has made a decent career since that low point. One of the best spare shots on tour.

[@MusabJilani]

Studies have found that people who win bronze medals are happier than those who win silvers, because the silver medalist thinks about having missed gold while the bronze medalist is happy to have won a medal at all. The two players’ reactions to their 10th frames is the best example I’ve seen of this. One happy to have broken 100, the other sad for having missed 300.

[@151bar151]

Daugherty's celebration is ironic

[@pabloamador667]

I love that copium for being a loser

[@콩집합쥐]

It makes me think a lot.

[@youarebeingfooled]

Mika didn't set any records here, he just bowled a good game. Tom Daugherty's record still stands to this day.

[@ambiarock590]

@@151bar151 And to Tom's credit, he owns that 100 game. He has that ball on display in his pro shop

[@sxnchou]

I like how the audience goes like this when Tom bowls. “AaaAAaAaaaAAAahHH” “OoUoOoUOOuU”

[@andrewphillips1011]

The 100 that tom Daugherty shot broke Steve jaros score of 129

[@chili015]

All I know is one guy was clutch in the 10th frame, needing 2. The other one wasn't, falling short by 1.

[@perkeyser2032]

Now THAT'S a great audience. Knowledge and empathy. I'm impressed.

[@GamingFanactic911]

No doubt this is a memorable moment; I remember watvhing this LIVE and was stunned

[@FSUSean2112]

me too and i really wanted mika to get that 300 but i was upset about the 10 but hey 299 still very good

[@richlewis3304]

coincidentally this is the first bowling match I ever watched didn't realize it was such an historic one

[@blargy7283]

Greatest 100 game ever bowled! 😂😂

[@pamelacass9642]

After years of not bowling, I recently bowled 3 100+ games, and was happier than a pig in a sty. 🎳🐖😄

[@hotmojoe2483]

This is the most enjoyably frustrating game in history because it's a NEAR PERFECT GAME bowled coinciding with literally the least perfect game ever bowled on television.

[@jdracer111]

The big hook ball killed Tom. Straighter was greater this game.

[@good03boy]

james daniels Tom had 7 splits in this game. Only 1 non-split open.

[@hotmojoe2483]

By an amount some people will never bowl in one game in their lives, no less

[@iceman5117]

Not hitting the pocket killed Tom. It was his first TV appearance, guy was nervous as hell

[@Braden12107]

Ahhhh This never gets old

[@MagicJ337]

Anytime I’m feeling down because I’m not bowling well, I come back and watch this clip lol

[@AEC996]

14:05 almost left the 3-4-7-10 split

[@151bar151]

18:56 synchronized crouching LOL

[@JacHatesSports]

Best TV match of all time. If only buddy shot a 300!

[@doomusrlc]

Tom was a good sport about it at least. I mean what else can you do? Haha

[@JonesDylan874]

Exactly. To quote Brian Davis' 299 game, "What do you do when a guy shoots 299?"

[@JonesDylan874]

15:14 100 HYPE!

[@PinoyBowlerGS92]

This is where it happens when Tom Daugherty tries to call out Rob Stone 😂

[@thorstenwitt4417]

BEST Game EVER 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@thedenalski4038]

ive bowled a 43 at a high school bowling game before.

[@andrewphillips1011]

Mika koivuniemi came so close to getting a 2nd televised 300 game

[@doomusrlc]

Andrew Phillips I remember watching the first.

[@dlopezdlo11]

Yeah that 300 game vs Jason couch in Windsor locks Connecticut was crazy lol couches face when he was getting derailed by Mika was priceless what else could I do lol him and couch had some great battles on pba tour

[@akbubs]

dlopezdlo11 Couch’s*

[@PinoyBowlerGS92]

I wish the bottom of the 10 Pin was broken or uneven so it will tip over very easily, it happens when Pins get SO OLD

[@jasonmilly3320]

My high game is 256. Obviously I dream of bowling a 300 one day, I just hope IF it ever happens, I don't bowl a 299 first.

[@chuckontal9962]

Most of us had a few failed runs of 9+ strikes before getting that first one unfortunately haha

[@jamesqualls8125]

Yes,yes Rob. Let the bowler win, don't need 299

[@MPIEMDRailfan4]

13:00 "oh crap I need to double" LMAO

[@bachcottage-ck8tl]

Now someone needs to bowl a 0 score

[@NateCraven318]

Heh, just call my friend Shyanne.

[@Eon210]

Say what u want at least he was a good sport about it.

[@Jimdows98]

Can't imagine what he must have felt...

[@Andrux0821]

Wait wtf this was at Royal Lanes in Lutz? I swear I bowled there all of my childhood and it’s not there anymore unfortunately.

[@lazypredator6139]

Yeah TD bought the place out and had it torn down so he couldn’t be reminded of it

[@caseyhoyt9911]

from bowling a 100 on tv... to winning his first career major.

[@SCRATCHONEMORE]

This is incredible 🤣

[@chandlerb6728]

18:06 The messenger FAILS to take down the 10 pin on Major Mika Koivuniemi's 12th shot!!!

[@bakedpootetoo]

redemption, his got his first

[@R0adx]

Why showing all the unlucky stuff😭😭

[@hysterheister0947]

Leighton Guang unlucky is usually the most memorable in bowling

[@gregorytrapp334]

Life is like that. Some days you're the windshield. Some days you're the bug!

[@JohnAC4]

Rob stone is the Paul Allen of bowling

[@JonesDylan874]

This has to be one of the greatest games ever. The biggest deficit/lead ever. 199 pins.

[@barrettreynolds1530]

That’s sad. I remember I got 287 at Plano super bowl and I was 2 strikes away from 300 but I got a pocket 7-10

[@tmeo9712]

What is worse, the 100 or getting a 299! yikes.

[@Fluffyguy958]

If I couldn't find pocket I would probably throw plastic right into it just so my splits arent so bad

[@Mikey-1990]

Man if only that messenger didn't lose momentum heading towards the ten. Just needed a little bit more.

[@TheMossBomb]

Quarter of a million dollars for first? Now a days it's like $30k now how far has the pba fell

[@emerald3331]

They just did this for this one special tournament.

[@psychwardsandSCENE]

"The 2010-11 Tournament of Champions took place January 16-22, 2011, and featured a $1 million purse and $250,000 first prize, making it the richest PBA tournament ever." this was a one-off.

[@JonesDylan874]

18:09 WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?

[@BoiseState47]

I remember watching this live, in a bowling alley and said hey look I beat Daugherty!! Ohh i didn't beat Koivuniemi

[@fiddleronthecube7835]

Daugherty had four balls. He should have switched to a harder ball. I guess the lower the hook rating the less it hooks. This info is new to me.

[@dkintana]

18:03 July 12 2023

[@tmeo9712]

If the 1 pin hadn't turned, it would have torpedoed it over. Sorry man.

[@tygunn8183]

7 splits of which 6 were through the nose. Why didn't he make an adjustment. He still would have lost but probably would have eclipsed the previous standing low score all time on TV.

[@iqbaltrojan]

Nobody: Url: yyxvvvypY i like weird lowercase letters

Y'all need to watch how bad a$$ Tom's game is when he wins the 2012-2013.

MR. 299 MIKA KOIVUNIEMI AND MESSENGER FAIL 18:05 18:08

[@Steve.Orland]

OKAY

[@redjacket7177]

Tom could have just changed ball earlier or lessen the axis rotation or just threw it harder but he basically didn't.

[@joepod]

It was all over after the first frame anyway.

[@tmeo9712]

With all due respect, I think his style is entirely illegal. He cradles the ball on his forearm and releases it. It should be cradled and released in the hand, not released from the forearm, which acts like a slide. I am surprised any records count for him.

[@winser21]

Bruh you can two hand it

[@millypoo7713]

My low game is a 13. And no bumpers 🎳
