Bob Larson competed in 42 consecutive USBC Open Championships from 1969-2010 and collected four Eagles along the way.

Larson, a right-hander, was part of three Team All-Events champions and also collected a Regular Doubles title.

Two of Larson’s Team All-Events titles came in back-to-back years as part of the Kendor Corp. No. 1 team out of Milwaukee in 1982 and 1983. The 1982 event was held in Baltimore, and the team successfully defended its title the following year in Niagara Falls, New York.

Larson earned his last two Eagles at the 1986 event in Las Vegas. One of those championships came in the form of yet another Team All-Events title as part of the Faball Enterprises No. 1 team from Milwaukee. His other Eagle was a Regular Doubles title with partner Don Cook. 

Larson had three other top-five finishes at the Open Championships as he was part of the fifth-place team in Regular Team (1982) and also had a pair of third-place finishes in Regular Team (1985) and Regular Doubles (1996). He finished with a career average just shy of 200 (198.6) at the Open Championships. 

Larson also was inducted into both the Kenosha USBC (1976) and Wisconsin State USBC (2003) Halls of Fame.
