After a flush strike to start his 10th frame of the title match of the 2021 Guaranteed Rate PBA World Championship on Saturday, Tom Daugherty needed only one more strike and a 4-count to lock up his first major title.
The Specto graphic on FOX showed his &ldquo;ideal line&rdquo; to be 25.3 at the arrows and 6.9 at the breakpoint. As his shot traveled down lane 43 at AMF University Lanes in Tampa, Florida, Specto flashed 25.4 and 6.7 &mdash; numbers that should have produced a pocket hit....

The good luck Tom Daugherty enjoyed on a strike he might not have needed should not be what his first major title is remembered for: It should be the totality of a magnificent performance.
