Match 32: Simonsen def. Williams, 287-278 (USA 18, Europe 14)

The USA have done it, they’ve won the Weber Cup as Anthony Simonsen defeats Stu Williams, 287-278, to give Team USA an 18-14 victory.

The pressure was intense in the final match and Simonsen was absolutely clutch most of the match as he helped give the USA the victory.

Simonsen struck on his first eight shots in the deciding match and never trailed against Williams. His only misstep came in the ninth frame when he pitched the ball wide right and left the 1-2-4, which he made.

That leave by Simonsen gave Europe a chance and Williams delivered a pressure-packed strike in the final frame to put maximum pressure on Simonsen.

Simonsen was up to the task, however, as he absolutely buried the pocket for a strike to lock up the win for his side.

The USA has now evened the all-time series with Europe at 10-10 as the event heads back to Europe for the 2020 event.

Match 31: Barrett def. Butturff, 247-213 (USA 17, Europe 14)

Can Europe really pull this off? Dom Barrett has once again pulled Europe from the brink of a loss with 247-213 victory over Jakob Butturff as Europe pulls to within 17-14.

It was the first time today Europe has won back-to-back matches and it couldn’t have come at a better time. Europe must run the table and win four more matches without fault to win the Weber Cup.

Without even throwing a shot, Barrett instantly took the lead in the match when Butturff started off with a 7-9 split in the first frame.

Barrett returned the favor, however, when we left the 1-2-4 in the second frame and whiffed the headpin left for an open. Barrett would make another critical error in the fifth frame when he missed the 3-6-10 combination.

But down the stretch, Barrett was tough, striking the rest of the way from frames six through 10 to secure the win. Butturff ended his hopes with a Big Four split in the final frame. A strike would have forced Barrett to mark.

Anthony Simonsen bowls Stu Williams next in another must-win for Europe.

Match 30: Palermaa def. Barnes, 255-228 (USA 17, Europe 13)

Osku Palermaa kept Europe’s faint hopes alive of winning this year’s Weber Cup by defeating Chris Barnes, 255-228, to cut the USA’s lead to 17-13. Team USA remains, however, just one win away from hoisting the cup.

Bowling on a new oil pattern, Palermaa needed a mark in the final frame and delivered a perfect strike to shut Barnes out.

Barnes struggled early in the match but struck in the seventh, eighth and ninth frames to give himself a chance.

The matchups are set for the next three games. Jakob Butturff bowls Dom Barrett next followed by Anthony Simonsen vs. Stu Williams and Kyle Troup vs. Jesper Svensson.

There’s no room for error for Europe as they must win every remaining match. The second-to-last match would be an MVP match with the highest points winner from each team facing off.

If Europe can take it the distance, the deciding final match would be a Baker match.

Match 29: Simonsen def. Svensson, (USA 17, Europe 12)

Team USA is on the cusp of victory after Anthony Simonsen defeated Jesper Svensson, 267-232, to put the Americans up 17-12 in the race to 18 points.

Simonsen trailed by 11 pins after two frames but pulled even in the third frame and struck through the seventh frame to pull away as Svensson struggled.

Svensson started with a double but looked a bit lost after that and the match was essentially over after eight frames.

With the six scheduled matches for today now completed, the teams will now face a new pattern for the next batch of matches. Presumably, each team will get some practice on the new pattern before setting matchups for the rest of today.

Match 28: Svensson/Williams def. Troup/Simonsen, 267-256 (USA 16, Europe 12)

In a pressure-packed match, Europe kept Team USA from moving to within a point of the title as Jesper Svensson and Stu Williams combined for a 267-256 win over Kyle Troup and Anthony Simonsen.

In the final frame, Svensson delivered one of the most clutch shots of the tournament thus far. Needing a strike for the win, Svensson blasted the pocket with his urethane ball to pull Europe to within 16-12.

The crucial strike came after Svensson left a four pin and a seven pin on his previous two shots and allowed Team USA to have a little hope in the match.

Simonsen struck in the final frame for the Americans to force Svensson to do work but he was up to the task.

A singles match between Simonsen and Svensson is next.

Match 27: Barnes def. Palermaa, 288-244 (USA 16, Europe 11)

Team USA captain Chris Barnes put up the most impressive singles score yet as he routed Osku Palermaa, 288-244, to put the USA two points away from hoisting the cup. Team USA now leads Europe 16-11 overall in the race to 18 points.

Barnes started off the match by pitching the ball wide right and leaving the 1-2. He converted it and then tossed nine consecutive strikes. His 288 game was the highest singles score put up yet at this year’s Weber Cup.

Palermaa tossed six strikes in the first nine frames but it wasn’t enough to keep pace with Barnes, who had the match locked up before throwing a shot in the final frame.

Kyle Troup and Anthony Simonsen will take on Jesper Svensson and Stu Williams in the next match as the USA has a chance to pull within one point of victory.

Match 26: Svensson/Barrett def. Simonsen/Butturff, 267-256 (USA 15, Europe 11)

In a tough doubles match, Europe picked up a key victory to pull to within 15-11 as Jesper Svensson and Dom Barrett defeated Anthony Simonsen and Jakob Butturff, 267-256.

The Europeans got out to an impressive start with six consecutive strikes before Barrett left a solid nine pin in the seventh. That great start helped Europe lead the entire match.

Simonsen caught a couple tough breaks down the stretch as he left a shaker seven pin in the ninth frame and followed it up with a solid nine pin in the final frame.

That meant Svensson just needed nine pins on his first shot in the final frame to lock up the match win and he left a stone nine pin to get the job done.

Chris Barnes will match up against Osku Palermaa in a singles match next.

Match 25: Troup def. Williams, 267-245 (USA 15, Europe 10)

After looking solid in the opening doubles match, Stu Williams appeared to be the favorite in the next match but Kyle Troup had other plans. Troup beat Williams, 267-245, to put Team USA just three points away from the overall victory with a 15-10 lead.

Williams looked solid early on, striking in the first frame and then again in the third, fourth and fifth frames. However, disaster struck in the sixth frame when he left the Greek Church for an open to even the match.

Troup hit his stride down the stretch, striking in the seventh, eighth, ninth and 10^th frames, while Williams left a 10 pin in the seventh and a seven pin in the 10^th frame.

It’s back to doubles for Match 26 as Anthony Simonsen and Jakob Butturff join forces to take on Dom Barrett and Jesper Svensson.

Match 24: Williams/Palermaa def. Barnes/Troup, 289-246 (USA 14, Europe 10)

If the first match is any indication of how things will go today, Europe could be poised for a huge comeback on the final day.

Stu Williams and Osku Palermaa looked very tough as they defeated Chris Barnes and Kyle Troup, 289-246, to pull Europe to within 14-10 in the race to 18 points.

The European pair got off to a hot start, opening with five consecutive strikes before Palermaa left a ringing 10 pin in the sixth frame. They wouldn’t miss again as they put up the highest doubles game of the event so far.

Troup and Barnes also started strong with four strikes in a row before things started to unravel. Troup left a 10 pin in the fifth but things really went wrong when he followed it up with a 3-4-6-7-10 split in the fifth frame.

Next up is a singles match between Troup and Williams and based on ball reaction in the opening match, the edge has to go to Williams.

First six final day matches are set

There are currently six matches scheduled for today as Team USA, leading 14-9, needs just four more wins to secure the Weber Cup. Additional matches will be added as needed.

Kicking things off will be a doubles match between Kyle Troup/Chris Barnes and Stu Williams/Osku Palermaa. Troup and Williams will then meet in a singles match.

The third match of the day will feature Anthony Simonsen/Jakob Butturff battling Dom Barrett/Jesper Svensson. Another singles match follows with Barnes vs. Palermaa.

Should Europe win one of the first four matches to avoid being defeated, the fifth match of the day will be a doubles tussle between Troup/Simonsen and Svensson/Williams. That would be followed by Simonsen vs. Svensson.

Team USA has selected the lane pattern today and have gone with a 44-foot pattern with a ratio of 3.1:1.
