ASBATY, FAGAN CHOSEN

AS 2012 IBMA BOWLERS OF THE YEAR 

  

Asbaty, a 32-year-old Chicago right-hander, topped the women's voting after her victory in the 2012 USBC Queens at the International Bowling Training and Research Center in Arlington, Texas. She also won the Australian Masters, and a gold medal in the team event of the Pan American Confederation championships. The runner-up in the 2012 QubicaAMF World Cup, she also earned a spot on Team USA for the 13th consecutive year with a fourth-place finish in the 2012 Team Trials.

Fagan, of Grapevine, Texas, used a win in the USBC Masters in Henderson, Nev., as the key factor in leading the men's voting. The 32-year-old right-hander also captured the Brunswick Euro Challenge, was runner-up in the U.S. Open and Brunswick Ballmaster Open, third in the World Bowling Tour men's final, fourth in the Professional Bowlers Association Tournament of Champions and Viper Open, and fifth in the PBA Pepsi Elite Players Championship and Qatar Open. His achievements in 2012 also earned him a spot on Team USA 2013.

The awards will be presented during the IBMA Awards Dinner Sunday, June 23, in conjunction with International Bowl Expo, June 23 – 27, 2013
