All scores from the 2021 Bowlers Journal Championships are unofficial and pending verification.
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.

Helen DiCarlo will celebrate her 98th birthday on Friday. She fondly remembers a different era in her favorite sport, but despite the many changes in the game over her last seven decades as a participant, she enjoys every minute of her weekly trip to the lanes.
DiCarlo and her daughter-in-law, Patricia, currently roll in the Thursday Morning Senior Mixed league, a spring/summer program at Sportsman’s Bowl. Every time Helen gets up to bowl, she gets a little help from “Patti” to line her up on the approach. Then, she focuses hard on her mark and delivers her shot with surprising dexterity from someone her age. Patti often lets Helen know which pins are left on the deck, since Helen’s eyesight isn’t that great any more, and after she gets lined up again, she concentrates on making the spare.
The confidence they earned while securing the Open Doubles lead at the Bowlers Journal Championships early in the week helped them also find the top of the Regular Doubles standings across town at the Open Championships.
The Bowlers Journal event, being held at The Orleans Bowling Center, features the same oil pattern being used for doubles and singles at the Open Championships, so many bowlers are able to use it as a warm-up and a chance to develop a game plan.
Team competition this year at the Open Championships is taking place at the South Point Bowling Plaza, and all doubles/singles squads are being contested at the South Point Bowling Center. It is the first time the 117 editions of the event that it has been split across two venues
