Duke Wins ESPY

Norm Duke of Clermont, Fla., won the 2008-09 “Best Bowler” ESPY Award for his third consecutive
ESPY win and fourth overall.

The ESPY Awards, presented by ESPN, represent the best in sports in a variety of categories. The
annual ESPY Awards ceremonies were held on July 15 in Los Angeles and aired on ESPN Sunday night.

Duke was the winner in fan voting over Wes Malott of Pflugerville, Texas, and Chris Barnes of Double
Oak, Texas. Duke was a three-time Lumber Liquidators PBA title winner and the Tour’s earnings
leader during the 2008-09 season. Winning the 2008 PBA World Championship gave him a record
three straight PBA major titles. Malott also was a three-time winner and edged Duke in the 2008-09
PBA Player of the Year points race. Barnes, a two-time title winner, was third in Player of the Year
points.

“The ESPYs is a chance for bowling to reside alongside all of the other sports,” Duke said. “Whether
you believe baseball, basketball and football are the top tier sports, for a week we’re all the same.
The ESPYs is a celebration of the greatest seasons in all sports. To be mentioned along with all of
those great athletes is really special. It’s a terrific experience. I have a lot of wonderful memories
from being a part of the ESPYs.”
