Tuning Up Before The Action Begins!
ALLEN PARK, MICH.—ANTHONY SIMONSEN WON THE RACE-TO-TWO-POINTS CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH, 2-1, OVER KYLE TROUP TO WIN THE 2021 PBA TOUR FINALS AS SIMONSEN’S EIGHTH CAREER GUARANTEED RATE PBA TOUR TITLE. IN A REMATCH OF LAST SEASON’S PBA TOUR FINALS TITLE MATCH, SIMONSEN AVENGED HIS 2020 LOSS AND CLAIMED HIS FIRST TITLE SINCE HE WON TWICE IN 2019.
“I WANTED TO GET OUT AND BOWL WELL,” SAID SIMONSEN. “IF YOU BOWL WELL AND YOU LOSE, IT’S A LITTLE EASIER TO ACCEPT THAN WHEN YOU BOWL BADLY AND LOSE. I WAS ABLE TO JUST BOWL TODAY AND NOT HAVE TO MANIPULATE EVERYTHING.”

2018 PBA Tour Finals
Australia's Jason Belmonte wins PBA Tour Finals at Thunderbowl in Allen Park
May 5 is now much more than just Cinco de Mayo to the Professional Bowling Association's Jason Belmonte (known as "Belmo" to his army of fans).
It will also forever be the day that he won his eighteenth career PBA title, and it was a biggie. The PBA Tour Finals is like professional bowling's All Star Game: Only the top eight money winning bowlers over the past two years get invited to this special tournament. They were split into two groups, and each group bowled four games Friday on four different lane oil conditions, with cumulative pinfall deciding the order of each group's step-ladder semifinals on Sunday, with each group's winner squaring off for the overall championship.
