CENTREVILLE, Va. – On a night with grueling lane conditions, some of the sport’s biggest names found their way onto the show at the 2020 PBA Chameleon Championship.
Jason Belmonte, EJ Tackett, Anthony Simonsen and Brad Miller will bowl for the title at Bowlero Centreville on a show that will air Sunday at 7:30 p.m. Eastern on FS1 (United States) and FloBowling (international).
The lane conditions were so brutal that Miller overcame a 162-125 loss to Pontus Andersson and rallied to win the best-of-five match 3-1 to make the finals.
Miller, who is looking for his first career title, won the next three games 224-155, 228-194 and 259-215 to advance.
Simonsen, meanwhile, had a similar path to the show, losing a low-scoring first game to Tom Smallwood, 181-176. Simonsen came back to win the match 239-211, 223-197 and 201-200.
In a Round of 8 matchup of international stars, Belmonte managed to get past Jesper Svensson, 3-1. Belmonte lost the opening game 246-232 and then won the next three by scores of 238-174, 212-210 and 247-203.
The Chameleon event capped off a big day for Tackett, who earlier in the day advanced to the PBA Cheetah Championship show.
Tackett took down Kris Prather, 3-1, winning the first game 190-169 before losing 206-201. Tackett closed out the match with wins of 214-200 and 215-209.
The PBA World Series of Bowling will continue with the PBA Scorpion Championship, which gets underway at 11 a.m. Eastern on Friday.
