Anderson records second 300 at USBC Open Championships
June 13, 2024
LAS VEGAS – Matthew Anderson has become very familiar with throwing strikes inside the South Point Hotel, Casino and Spa since moving to Las Vegas more than 10 years ago, and he was able to toss a few more Wednesday during his doubles set at the 2024 United States Bowling Congress Open Championships.
The 33-year-old right-hander became the 43rd bowler in tournament history to record multiple 300 games at the event with his perfect showing in Game 2 at the South Point Bowling Plaza.
The performance also allowed him to match his brother and doubles partner at the 2024 event – 2018 Professional Bowlers Association Player of the Year Andrew Anderson – with two perfect games at the USBC Open Championships.
On Wednesday, Anderson started doubles with 169 before making a ball change late in Game 1. The change resulted in 12 strikes in Game 2, and he continued strong in Game 3 with 236 for a 705 series. Andrew added 707 to their doubles score for a final tally of 1,412 to move into the top 20 of Regular Doubles at the 2024 event.
Shawn Evans and Nicholas Fisher of Palm Bay, Florida, lead Regular Doubles with 1,531.
Matthew’s first 300 at the Open Championships took place during his team event at the 2014 event in Reno, Nevada.
Andrew matched him with his first 300 during singles at the 2019 Open Championships, and he recorded his second perfect game at the 2022 tournament during his team event. Both the 2019 and 2022 events were held at the South Point Bowling Plaza.
At the 2021 event, Andrew rolled an 802 series at the South Point Bowling Center to win Regular Singles at the Open Championships.
Matthew has been a force at the Bowlers Journal Championships in recent years as well, and he joined Team USA’s Darren Tang to share the victory in Open Doubles at the 2021 event held at The Orleans Bowling Center in Las Vegas.
Watch the interview below with both Matthew and Andrew discussing Matthew’s performance and more from South Point.
Matthew closed his 12th tournament appearance with 679 in team and 649 in singles for a 2,033 all-events total. Andrew added 741 in singles and 629 in team for 2,077.
The 2024 Open Championships got underway Feb. 23 and will run through July 29 at the South Point Bowling Plaza. The tournament is scheduled to feature more than 11,000 teams and 55,000 bowlers making their way to compete in Las Vegas.
