Pennsylvania bowler records 300 at 2024 USBC Open Championships

LAS VEGAS – Robert Grexer Jr. of Lords Valley, Pennsylvania, didn’t shy away from the pressure of perfection at the 2024 United States Bowling Congress Open Championships as he connected for the 24th 300 game of the year at the South Point Bowling Plaza on Friday.

The 49-year-old left-hander kicked off his singles competition with 300, and he added 223 and 174 to finish with a 697 series.

Grexer worked well with the other southpaw on his pair throughout doubles and singles Friday to create some room to work with at the Bowling Plaza, and he started the day with games of 220, 267 and 218 for a 705 set in doubles.

He added 577 in team to finish with the highest all-events score of his 18-year career at the USBC Open Championships – 1,979.

Watch the video below to learn why this performance was a dream come true for Grexer and how some wise words from former NFL quarterback Boomer Esiason about pressure helped him focus in the moment at the Open Championships.



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.
