The inauguration of the ESPN and Professional Bowler’s Association (PBA) television contract kicked off this month. The airing of this year’s GEICO PBA World Series of Bowling IV began Sunday, starting with the first showing of the Bayer Advanced Aspirin World Bowling Tour men’s finals match. The event took place last month at the South Point Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.
Chris Barnes and Missy Parkin were both crowned champions after, respectively, defeating Mika Koivuniemi (244-228) and Liz Johnson (238-190) to win this season’s $20,000 pot.
