RENO, Nev. - Bob Chamberlain Sr. of The Villages, Fla., first gained notoriety at the USBC Open Championships as part of the 1980 Regular Team-winning, Stroh's Beer of Detroit.

Now, 31 years later, in his 44th consecutive Open Championships appearance, Chamberlain added another milestone to his list of accomplishments when he rolled the 32nd perfect game of this year's tournament during his final game of singles at the National Bowling Stadium on Friday.

The 62-year-old right-hander added games of 170 and 187 for a 657 total to go along with 652 in team and 589 in doubles for a 1,898 all-events effort. Matt Weggen of Muscatine, Iowa leads Regular Singles with 826 and Regular All-Events with 2,268.

"It's an entirely different feeling," said Chamberlain, who was inducted into the USBC Hall of Fame in 2005. "After coming here for 44 years and bowling all those games, it's unbelievable. This is a spectacle. You only get one shot a year, and you only bowl nine games, so it's a tough feat to do. I was a lot more nervous than normal. Usually, it doesn't bother me that much, but in this situation, there are a lot more nerves."

Chamberlain currently bowls on the Professional Bowlers Association Senior Tour, where he has won four national titles to match his four Senior regional titles. He also starred on the Lumber Liquidators PBA Tour, where he won two titles, including the 1984 PBA National Championship to compliment his four PBA regional victories.

Many of Chamberlain's Senior Tour counterparts joined him at the National Bowling Stadium this week, and as nice as it was to have his colleagues witness him reach perfection, it was extra special for Chamberlain because his son, Bob Jr., also joined him on the tournament lanes.

"It's pretty special, but I think what was more special was bowling with my son," said Chamberlain, who was the 2003 PBA Senior Tour Player of the year. "Those guys I see all the time, and we're always around each other, but I live in Florida, and my son lives in Michigan, so to get together and end up with something like this is pretty special."

Chamberlain also has his sights set on two other milestones at the Open Championships, the 50-year Club and the 100,000-Pin Club.

"This is my 44th consecutive year, and I want to get to 50," Chamberlain said. "I also would like to bowl long enough to get to 100,000 pins. I'm doing well. I've averaged about 206 for 44 years. Those are goals you never think of until all of a sudden you get there after all that time. Then, you look at the great bowlers who have already achieved those goals."

In 44 tournament appearances, Chamberlain has knocked down 82,546 pins for a career average of 205.8.
