Former Team USA member Darren Tang of Las Vegas found success in three categories at the 2021 Bowlers Journal Championships, becoming the first person to do so since Craig Nidiffer of Dearborn Heights, Michigan, accomplished the feat in 2017.
Tang, a 28-year-old right-hander, has been on quite a run during the 2021 season.
After winning the 2020 Professional Bowlers Association West/Northwest Player of the Year award, Tang has yet to finish outside of the top-six in any of the PBA regional events he has participated in this year, claiming one title along the way.
