Marshall Holman is one of the most popular and richest Bowler who was born on September 29, 1954 in Medford, Oregon, United States.
Holman’s first PBA title came at the Fresno Open on July 8, 1975, when he was just 20 years old. His last PBA title was earned at the 1996 PBA Ebonite Classic. This came eight years after he had last won a title. In this event, he defeated Wayne Webb in what turned out to be a very emotional battle that came down to the final frames. The first bowler on the PBA Tour to surpass $1.5 million in earnings, Holman won 22 titles (12th all-time) – including four majors (two U.S. Opens and two Tournament of Champions titles). He became the youngest winner in the Tournament of Champions, topping the field in the 1976 event when he was just 21 years old. Holman would hold this distinction until 2016, when 20-year old Jesper Svensson won that year’s Tournament of Champions. In 1979, Holman became the youngest bowler (24) to reach the 10-title plateau. That record would later be broken by Pete Weber in 1987.
Earlier in his bowling career, as once mentioned in the American Bowlers Journal magazine in the 1980s, Holman had a girlfriend from the state of New Hampshire. He would occasionally try the sport of candlepin bowling, popular in his acquaintance’s state of residence, while visiting there.
