Randy Pedersen (born 1962) is a professional bowler and color analyst for ESPN's coverage of the PBA Tour. During the present season, he has worked alongside play-by-play announcers Dave Ryan and Mike Jakubowski. Pedersen grew up in Southern California, but relocated to Clermont, Florida in the early 1990s, where he has resided ever since. He and his wife Becky have two children: a son, Chad and a daughter, Savannah. ==Bowling career== As a bowler, Pedersen has won 13 PBA titles, with his last coming at age 40 in the 2002 Pepsi Open. That title pushed him over the $1 million career earnings mark, making him the 24th millionaire in PBA history at the time. Most dominant from the mid-1980s to early 1990s, Pedersen captured the prestigious PBA National Championship crown in 1987. At the same time, he is also known for two of the worst breaks in PBA Tour history. He lost the 1995 Touring Players Championship to veteran Ernie Schlegel when, needing a strike on the first ball of the tenth frame to win, he left a single 8-pin standing on what appeared to be a perfect shot.〔(The worst break in PBA history! - 1995 TPC - Randy Pedersen ) www.youtube.com, retrieved 23 October 2014.〕 (The match is well remembered for Schlegel's extremely unprofessional reaction to his win.) He also lost the 2003 Tournament of Champions (and the PBA Tour exemption that would have come with it) by leaving a single 10-pin standing in the last frame. Randy was ranked #35 on the PBA's 2008 list of ''50 Greatest Players of the last 50 years''. He was elected to the PBA Hall of Fame in October, 2010, and was inducted with the 2011 class on January 22, 2011.〔Schneider, Jerry. "Randy Pedersen, Dale Eagle and Len Nicholson Elected to PBA Hall of Fame." Article at www.pba.com on October 20, 2010.〕 Randy joined the PBA50 Tour (formerly PBA Senior Tour) in 2013, and on May 16 of that year he won the very first tournament he entered: the ''PBA50 Dayton Classic''.〔(Randy Pedersen is Unlikely Winner in PBA50 Dayton Classic ) Schneider, Jerry at pba.com, May 16, 2013.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Randy Pedersen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
