November 12 is a day bowlers in Neillsville Wisconsin will likely never forget.

It’s when Marc McDowell, the PBA champion who is now in his second season of league bowling at Neillsville’s Strike Time Lanes, brought his Eagle trophy celebration to them.

McDowell had fired 795 in Baton Rouge, LA to win the singles event at the 2025 USBC Open Championships by two pins (https://apps.bowl.com/tournaments/usbcopen/National/results.aspx?evt=3&di=1&ty=2025) and become the oldest ever to do it. He was 62 at the time.

You’ll hear from Glen Luchterhand and Tim Nichols from the Neillsville USBC first, then Wisconsin USBC president Doug Sleaford before Marc himself speaks to the crowd.

After that, reaction from a variety of the aforementioned gentleman along with Marc’s friends and wife Keri about his special night.

The Agent Ong Open hasn’t left the attention of bowlers everywhere, even though the event just happened in October.

It was November 2 when Carl Ong announced (https://www.facebook.com/agentongopen/posts/pfbid02ghhtS3qgTL8b2su3xhYDRGYuTTana8BW6eoLhuG7SggJEW56y7jmZLttxkrKdBFBl) his tournament is moving out of Arizona for the first time on October 15-18 2026, and into South Point in Las Vegas.

The defending champ is Josh Kennedy of Blaine, MN. The first bowler who is NOT from Arizona to win an Agent Ong Open and, as of this recording, the newest Roto Grip staffer because of that big win.

Listen to what Kennedy had to say about it in this episode!
