Michael Haugen Jr. Wins Third Career Title in PBA Mark Roth Classic
By Bill Vint - PBA ALLEN PARK, Mich. Michael Haugen Jr. of Carefree, Ariz., was a man on a mission, and survived a battle that wasnt resolved until the final frame in defeating Scott Norton of Mission Viejo, Calif., 215194, to win his third Professional Bowlers Association Tour title in the Mark Roth Classic at Thunderbowl Lanes. Haugen, 46, won both of his previous PBA titles in 2008, but came into the 2012-13 season Michael Haugen without the support of a bowl- Famer Mark Roth ing ball company sponsor and felt snubbed because he wasnt one of the 48 players selected to participate in the new PBA League. He vowed it would take 10 quality shots by Norton to beat him for the Roth title, and Norton fell short, leaving back-to-back 46-7-10 splits in the ninth and 10th frames which turned a tight battle into an easy win for Haugen. Being able to stay in the moment and make the shot you need to make is very rewarding, and I was able to do that today, Haugen said. Scott and I both felt there wasnt going to be a 250 game on those conditions, so it was a matter of staying clean. I was just very fortunate today that Scott got a couple of bad breaks. You never expect a PBA photo guy that talented to make shots Jr. with Hall of like that. Being overlooked in the inaugural PBA League draft also provided incentive for Haugen. Ive been at this (PBA competition) for 14 years. Ive made a TV show every year, and done ok in stats, but I didnt get picked, he said. I dont know why, but that was motivation for me, too. It feels really good.
