A.J. Chapman will bowl in in the Professional Bowlers Association Players Championship this weekend.
“I don’t really have words right now,” Chapman wrote on social media. “This is a dream of mine for as long as I can remember.”
Chapman, who graduated from Wichita State last year, placed fourth in the tournament’s qualifying round to advance to the step-ladder finals.
The finals will be televised on ESPN at 1 p.m. (ET) Sunday.
This is Chapman’s first time competing in a televised event. He averaged more than 226 per game to reach the finals.
He faces Connor Pickford, Martin Larsen, Anthony Simonsen and former PBA player of the year, Jason Belmonte.
