Ryan "Rhino" Page (born July 10, 1983) is a left-handed bowler on the Professional Bowlers Association (PBA) Tour, and was the 2008 PBA Rookie of the Year. (See PBA Bowling Tour: 2007-08 season.) He is also a former U.S. Amateur champion, winning the event in 2005. A San Diego, California native, Page now resides in Dade City, Florida. Page attended the University of Kansas in Lawrence, Kansas. ==PBA accomplishments== Page has won three PBA titles, one in each of his first three years on tour. He began the 2007-08 season as a non-exempt bowler, meaning he had to bowl in the Tour Qualifying Round (TQR) every week just to make the starting field of 64 bowlers. He became the third player in PBA history to win a tournament out of the TQR when he won the ''Go RVing Classic'' in March, 2008. Along the way, he set a number PBA rookie records, including: * Most times qualifying for a tournament out of the TQR (12) * Most match play round appearances for a non-exempt bowler (9) * Most TV finals appearances when starting from the TQR (5) * First non-exempt bowler ever to make the TV finals in back-to-back weeks. (The feat was matched in the 2009-10 season by Ryan Ciminelli.) * Highest rookie season earnings of all time ($84,811) * Highest 7-game pinfall ever in the TQR (1,883 at the 2007-08 ''Lumber Liquidators Championship'') Page won the ''PBA Viper Championship'' on September 5, 2009 in Allen Park, Michigan, 268-246, over Tour rookie Ryan Ciminelli. This was his third PBA title to date. He finished runner-up in the 2008-09 Tournament of Champions, losing the final match to friend and Tour roommate Patrick Allen, 267-263. Page also won the ''PBA Experience Showdown'' in April 2010. This was a non-title special event featuring the five winners of the 2009-10 oil pattern championships.〔Vint, Bill.

Although he did not go on to win the tournament, he earned a $100,000 bonus for the perfect game.〔"Allen Tops Malott in DYDO Japan Cup 2009 Finals." Article at www.pba.com, April 25, 2009.〕 On November 9, 2012 Page was the first player selected by the new PBA League.〔(news.pba.com )〕 Through the end of the 2014 season, he had totaled 13 perfect 300 games in PBA events and had cashed about $475,000 in winnings. He also owns six PBA Regional titles. After suffering injuries in 2014, appearing in only 11 events that season with little success, Page returned to prominence in the 2015 PBA season, earning the #1 seed in the prestigious Barbasol Tournament of Champions. He was defeated in the final match, however, by reigning TOC champion Jason Belmonte, 232-214. 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「Rhino Page」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
