Has anyone bowled a 300 on their first time on television? (pba)
-
I think the answer is "no".
I was discussing this with MWhite recently and I feel picking up a 7-10 split is more rare than bowling a 300-game. I've only ever seen (in person) one of each. And on TV, only 3 people have ever picked up a 7-10 split where as I believe over 20 have shot 300 games.
But Mike pointed out that 7-10 splits are less celebrated/awarded so they tend to go under the radar. And the folks on TV are only a sliver of competitive bowlers, at the top of their game thus more likely to throw 300-games and less likely to leave 7-10 splits.
Although...I've probably seen almost as many 7-10s watching the PBA as I've seen league bowling. I myself can count on one hand how many times I've left a 7-10 split since last August (4).

I believe in Bob Benoit's first TV show, he shot 300 to win the title.
All previous 300's on TV were shot in rounds before the title match.
