‘Quite phenomenal’: Australia’s Jason Belmonte makes more tenpin bowling history

Australian tenpin bowler Jason Belmonte has further cemented his place in the record books after becoming the first PBA Tour player to roll three perfect 300 games on live TV.

A 300 game is achieved by scoring a strike in every frame – the highest score possible in tenpin bowling – and having one aired live is a goal for most professional bowlers.

Belmonte has 25 300 games in his PBA Tour career, with his first televised in 2012 and second 10 years later in 2022.

The 29-year-old hails from the New South Wales town of Orange, where his parents built a tenpin bowling alley just weeks after he was born. He rolled his first ball when he was 18 months old.

Belmonte’s third televised 300 game came at the PBA Tour finals in Washington on Sunday.
