Before you take it for granted that I’m talking about the Coronavirus pandemic, or the civil unrest that appears to be engulfing our entire nation, you can rest as- sured that this scribe is instead writing about the professional bowling exploits of a man from Little Elm, Texas. Anthony Simonsen, at the age of 23, has accomplished more than perhaps any pro bowler at such a young age, with 7 overall victories and 2 major titles, qualifications that essentially make him eligible for the Professional Bowlers As- sociation (PBA) Hall of Fame. The only customary requirements that Anthony is missing are at least 10 years competing on the pro bowling circuit, and the traditional minimum age of thirty-five. Needless to say, he’s a shoo-in for the Hall of Fame honor. As I looked forward to the second tournament to be aired by the PBA since the Coronavirus pandemic hit our shores, the Summer Clash promised to be an ex- citing event, pitting the top male and female bowlers in competition at the famed Bowlero Jupiter Lanes in Jupiter, Florida. I wondered to myself if Shannon O’Keefe or Danielle McEwan could dominate their male counterparts, just as Kelly Kulick had done ten years earlier, when she defeated Chris Barnes for the coveted Tournament of Champions title. However, it was young Simonsen that stole the show when he came out with both hands blazing a two-handed backup ball! Although Sean Rash eventually won the $20,000 first prize, there’s no question that Anthony stole the show for the first eight rounds of the event, utilizing his backup delivery from the left side of the lane as a compelling strategy that almost brought him to the PBA winner’s circle for yet another victory in his young career.
