PBA TOUR

Of all the times Michael Fagan dreamed of capturing his first Denny's Professional Bowlers Association (PBA) Tour title, never in his wildest dreams could he have imagined it happening the way it did last Sunday in Las Vegas.
Fagan and his teammate Danny Wiseman watched as Joe Ciccone missed a spare in the 10th frame that would have tied the match, giving Fagan his first title and Wiseman his 12th with a 210-208 win over Ciccone and Ronnie Russell in the 2008 PBA Exempt Doubles Classic at Red Rock Lanes.
The crowd at Red Rock Lanes along with Fagan and Wiseman sat stunned when Ciccone missed to the left and missed both pins, giving Fagan and Wiseman the title.
Fagan and Wiseman split $40,000 for the win and each earned an exemption for the 2008-09 season.
Fagan was an outstanding collegiate bowler at St. John's University and makes his home on Long Island.
The Denny's PBA Tour this week is at El Paso, Texas for the 2008 Bayer Classic at Oasis Lanes. The finals will be televised by ESPN at 12:30 p.m. Sunday February 10.
