He would hold this distinction until 2016, when Anthony Simonsen won the USBC Masters at age 19 years, 39 days. George Pappas was the winner of the Firestone Tournament of Champions. In a rare feat, Pappas led this major tournament wire-to-wire, from opening match through to the finals. Marshall Holman won four titles on the season. With his win at the Seattle Open, the 24-year-old became the youngest PBA player to reach the career 10-title plateau (24 years, 274 days). (Pete Weber would take over this distinction by just 27 days when he won his 10th PBA title in 1987.)
