Thank You, Pete Weber

So, do you have great talent?

"Yes, I do."

Are you a better bowler than your father?

"Yes, I am."

Do you have goals?

"Yes. To win more titles than my father [Dick has 28], to win more than Anthony and to become the alltime money winner."

Pretty ambitious.

"I don't think so. I'm here on earth to please me, and that would please me."

Then he laughs. He knows he's cocky. But he also knows he has the numbers to go with the mouth. Weber has made the five-man playoffs five times this year, more than anyone else. He is the leading money winner for 1987, with $149,825.

What Weber also has is marquee value. Along with that grand name, he is colorful and flamboyant.
