Barnes Wins in Second Chris Barnes Challenge
Back in December, Chris Barnes took on Derek Hartnell in the first Chris Barnes Challenge. Hartnell came from behind to beat Barnes and win the $3200 on the table. This time Barnes took on Shawn Lee from Centennial, Colorado. Lee didn’t have as much luck as Hartnell. Chris Barnes posted a 590 series to beat Shawn Lee’s 480 and win the $2000. Both bowlers had problems playing the lanes, saying that they had to play each lane differently. Barnes used this to his advantage and says that it was also good practice for next week’s U.S. Open.
