Pete Weber tries to win his fifth U.S. Open title, which would be the all-time record, but has to get by Ryan Shafer, Jason Belmonte and Mike Fagan to succeed.
This is the event after which Weber exclaims these legendary words: "Who do you think you are? I am!"
Originally aired February 26, 2012 on ESPN from Brunswick Zone Carolier in North Brunswick, New Jersey.

But when Marshall Holman acted like that, he didn’t get away with it from his fans, they “Booed” him thru most of the matches. He stated later after his PBA career that it was a defense mechanism due to his nervousness during matches. You have to be a real pro to admit that IMO. He was one of the best of the PBA members.
There’s way to deal with those matters and then there are those who are just assholes who are full of themselves…I can just imagine Weber at a restaurant or checking into his hotel…I pity those who have to deal with him.
Unless they’re doing jumping jacks, you can’t stop a fan from moving his head. It’s the fans that are making him his money at the end of the day.
All-time classic match. Wow. Also, Gary Thorne was awesome as the play-by-play guy. I wish he did more bowling shows.
Gary Thorne made that as exciting as possible. Who would have known he would be involved in such an iconic moment.
Gary Thorne could make a 5 year old T-ball game sound epic.
Yeah man love Gary Thorne’s voice💯
This call is up there with…”After 22 years, Raymond Bourque!”
Telecast ruined by Randy Pedersen.
People to this day still don’t know who Pete was talking too. Some say it was a a guy, others say Pete was fighting with his inner demons. he’s crazy
@Meno Then why did people hate JohnMcEnroe for doing exactly the same thing? Both are great athletes…both were tools.
actually soon after he said it was some kid maybe 8-10 years old
It was mostly being pissed at himmself
@Aine Lawlor big difference in special Olympics n US OPEN
@Greg Amerson don’t care you don’t go around acting stupid just for TV 😡
1:17:19 is what we’re all here for
Thanks. You’re doing the Lord’s work.
So clutch
KING 😂
Who do YOU THINK HE IS??? HE IS!!
53:05 is pretty legendary.
Say what you want about Weber. He saved the sport on a pro level when it needed it. And he was present enough on TV every week that ratings took off. Plus he got even more clutch the older he got.
@ow my bones, owowoowowowowouchies It most certainly is a sport!
The sport is in the crapper right now.
so many people saying he’s bad for the PBA. Some people are just too boring. You need people like this in sports man. It’s brought my attention to bowling and all of a sudden I’m fascinated by the sport, just coz I saw this clip of Pete Weber. People need to lighten up. I just can’t believe he’s got so many haters.
@ow my bones, owowoowowowowouchies what???
Coke and alcohol are great
This was the only bowling event I ever watched live … I picked the most legendary bowling event of all time
Same here lol
Who was moving? Was it you! I bet it was you.
Same
@Julian Torres no you didnt
It’s a great moment, but the greatest? I’m sure Jason belmonte has one of those
The fact that *WEBER* won the *69TH* US Open is GOLD! 🤣🤣
I don’t know why, but for some reason at 56:43 the part where Randy says are we watching a bowling match or a boxing match. That part always gets me everytime. 😂
One of the greatest moments in sports history
Pete Weber what a legend!
Here for the 9 year anniversary of the greatest moment in the sport
And being this big of a Pete fan, you can’t lose a match in a more heartbreaking way than Fagan did. What a match.
Koivuniemi vs Duke, US Open 2011 Championship Match
so much to love about this. the fact that it’s on ESPN. it’s the 69th US open. Gary Thorne on the call. And of course Pete Weber. what a combination.
59:03

193 likes but no reply I’ma change that
the greatest ladder climb and clutch finish in all of bowling ever.
I never took bowling serious until some of my roommates started working at the bowling alley. Here I learned it’s a serious competitive game and compared to others, this game tests the mental resilience of its players like no other.
Pete talking with Belmonte after hitting the first strike of frame 10 is so wholesome, gotta love how respectful and encouraging he is to the other players, especially somehow who’s idolized him for years
