NEWS, NOTES AND HAPPENINGS FROM THE WORLD OF BOWLING


AND THE WINNER IS...: Watch the PBA’s Xtra Frame live broadcast of the 2011-12 Chris Schenkel Player of the Year announcement.


2011-12 player of the year was chosen by vote among PBA Tour players and veteran members of the bowling media. Rash, who received 29.04


percent of the votes, narrowly edged out Australian Jason Belmonte (26.61 percent) for the honor. Rash and Belmonte have had well-documented clashes both on and off the lanes over the past year. Dallas’ Mike Fagan received 18.32 percent, making the 2011-12 race the closest in years. Rash was visibly emotional after


PBA Tour Commissioner Tom Clark made the announcement during a live broadcast on the PBA’s Xtra Frame.


7 USBOWLER JUNE 2012 “We all had great seasons,”


said the Montgomery, Ill., resi- dent. “I think winning the TOC put a stamp on it. “Jason and Mike and I have


bowled together in probably 15 different countries during the past year, and I think we made each other better.” Rash also credited his strong


fi nish to patience and a relent- less attitude. “It was a diffi cult year for me,”


he said. “The struggle of making all those TV shows and not win- ning was frustrating. Everything seemed so close. But through patience, hard work, dedication and a great team behind me, everything worked out.”
