Anderson takes lead in Regular All-Events at 2025 USBC Open Championships
June 15, 2025
BATON ROUGE, La. – The big year for Team USA’s Andrew Anderson continued Friday and Saturday at the Raising Cane’s River Center, as the talented right-hander averaged more than 242 across nine games to take the lead in Regular All-Events at the 2025 United States Bowling Congress Open Championships.
Anderson, of Chesterfield Township, Michigan, put together sets of 763 in team, 754 in doubles and 667 in singles to post 2,184. Former Team USA member Cassidy Schaub of Ashland, Ohio, had led since March 14 with 2,158.
The 2018 Professional Bowlers Association Player of the Year needed 218 in his final game of singles Saturday to match Schaub’s total, and he delivered 244 to secure the top spot. Anderson had seven games of 224 or higher during his time at the River Center.
Anderson’s performance Friday during team competition highlighted his trip to Baton Rouge. It marked as the top individual series in the team event so far at the 2025 USBC Open Championships and helped Holly Lanes and Friends 1 into fifth place in the Regular Division with a 3,226 total.
Phat Kidz Crew of Pekin, Illinois, leads Regular Team at the 2025 event with 3,300.
During the team set, Craig Nidiffer of Dearborn Heights, Michigan, also put up a big number, finishing with 741. Anderson and Nidiffer own the two highest individual sets in team through the first 106 days of competition at the River Center.

In doubles, Anderson paired with his brother, Matthew Anderson, to also move into 10th place in the Regular Division with 1,422. Robert Clements of Plymouth, Minnesota, and Joey Robillard of Farmington, Minnesota, lead Regular Doubles with 1,494.
Anderson’s impressive run in 2025 started with a tremendous showing at the U.S. Open. He secured the top seed for the stepladder across 48 games and finished as the runner-up in February.
The 2018 USBC Masters champion claimed his fifth PBA Tour title in March with a win at the Mike Aulby PBA Nevada Classic, and earlier in June, he recorded his sixth victory at the PBA Tour Finals.
At the Open Championships, the 30-year-old already has built a strong profile across his 11 appearances. He won Regular Singles at the 2021 event in Las Vegas, rolling games of 269, 277 and 256 for an 802 series.
He's the owner of two perfect games on championship lanes, too. He connected for his first 300 in singles during the 2019 event and added the second in team competition in 2022.
