Wes Malott Enters His Son In
PBA Tournament
By Bill Vint
Wes Malott
finished fourth
in the PBA Xtra Frame
Greater Jonesboro Open
Sunday in Jonesboro, Ark.,
but the most interesting story
about Malott‘s participation in
the tournament had to do with
his 13-year-old son
Jordan
Malott
finishing in a tie for
74th place in his first PBA
tournament appearance.
―It‘s kinda funny,‖ father Wes
said. ―I signed (Jordan) up
and I didn‘t tell him. I don‘t think I even told my wife. He
didn‘t know he was bowling until we were on the road
and stopped to eat. He asked me why I brought his
equipment along. He told me he didn‘t want to bowl,
but he‘d been hounding me about entering local
events, so I signed him up.
―It was good for him; it got everyone talking.‖
Jordan Malott, Dad said, is already almost six feet tall.
―He‘s wearing size 13 shoes, just like me.‖
Jordan will bowl in USBC‘s Junior Gold Champion-
ships in July. The past two years he finished in the fifth
through eighth group in the U12 Division. This year
he‘ll move up to U15 but ―he‘ll hold his own,‖ Dad said.
Regarding Jordan‘s experience in Jonesboro, Wes
said, ―He‘s used to winning, so he had a hard time.
After three games, he was in third or fourth place. He
beat me the first four games, I know that. But in games
six and seven he shot 140s.
―He knows a lot of those guys,‖ Wes continued. ―He
watches them on TV. He has a lot of respect for them,
but I told him there‘s no reason to be afraid; just go out
and bowl, and he did.‖
Now the problem in the Malott household, Wes said,
is that middle son Camden is already asking when he‘ll
get his turn. Camden turns 10 in August. And ―Brooke
is seven, but she‘s already showing signs, too.‖ When
or if Jordan will bowl in another PBA event is an un-
known because now it‘s baseball season, Dad said,
and ―he‘s a very good baseball player, too.‖
Fans Choose Tommy Jones as Wes Malott’s Challenger
CHICAGO
--The fans have spoken and 18-time PBA Tour winner Tommy Jones will be next in line to chal-
lenge Wes Malott for the title of ―King of Bowling.‖
PBA fans were invited to help decide ―who‘s got next‖ in trying to remove Malott‘s crown in the renewal of the
PBA‘s exclusive Xtra Frame pay-per-view competition that will take place on Monday, June 26, at FireLake
Bowling Center in Shawnee, Okla., preceding the start of PBA‘s Grand Casino Hotel & Resort Oklahoma Open.
The results of the voting were as follows: Jones won with 26% of the vote followed by Chris Barnes (24%),
Sean Rash (24%), Pete Weber (20%) and Walter Ray Williams Jr. (6%). All of the players on the ballot were
former PBA Players of the Year in the last 10 years plus Weber, who is the reigning PBA50 Player of the Year.
The pay-per-view match will begin with a pre-game show at 7:40 p.m. EDT on Monday, June 26, with the
match starting at 8 p.m. Fans can sign up next week to watch the match for $2.99 on xtraframe.tv. All money
generated from PPV fees will be awarded as prize money to the winning bowler.
Malott, a 10-time PBA Tour winner, who dominated the original King of Bowling series held at Kegel Training
Center in Lake Wales, Fla., in 2009, successfully defended his throne – and kept his crown – when he won the
revival of the competition on April 12 in Portland, Maine, defeating reigning PBA Player of the Year EJ
Tackett
and Australia‘s Jason Belmonte, PBA Player of the Year the three previous years, with a 721 series.
Tackett had a 664 series and Belmonte a 640 in the three-game, total pinfall contest.
Fans were asked to pick Malott‘s next challenger through voting on pba.com or PBA‘s Twitter account which
started on June 12.
