Las Vegas—Graham Fach leads all players after the first eight games of qualifying in the 2022 PBA Regional Players Invitational (RPI). Fach averaged 244 to post a score of +352, 83 pins ahead of Carlos Granados, who sits in second place. “You can’t start a year off any better than this,” said Fach. “Leading already is great, but match play is a different animal. I want to be prepared for that as best I can.” The 120-player 2022 PBA RPI features the top 54 PBA regional players and 26 PBA50 regional players based on competition points earned during the 2021 season. The remaining 40 spots were earned through tournament qualifiers held in each region. Granados, who averaged 233.63 to get to second place, was one of many players honored at an awards reception following qualifying, earning the South Region Rookie of the Year Award. Each of the seven regions honored their Bowler of the Year, Rookie of the Year, Senior Bowler of the Year and Pat Patterson Award winners (see below for the full list). The Pat Patterson Award honors contributions to the regional program. The RPI resumes today with the final eight games of full-field qualifying beginning at 1 p.m. ET. The top 32 players will advance to match play, which begins at 8 p.m. ET. The tournament concludes Wednesday with the final rounds of match play starting at 11:30 a.m. ET and the championship match taking place at 3:30 p.m. ET.
