Ben Robinson won his first PBA Regional title on Sunday at the 2026 PBA Lucky Strike Manassas Open presented by KR Strikeforce.
The tournament was held at Bowl America Bull Run in Manassas, Virginia.
Robinson, a two-handed left-hander from England, defeated Deo Benard 216-206 in the championship match. The win gave Robinson the title and the $3,000 first-place prize.
Robinson started the event by finishing fourth in qualifying with 1,850 over eight games. The tournament had 100 players, with the field later cut to the top third for the next stage.
In the advancers round, Robinson moved up to second place. He then led the field through the Round of 16 and Round of 8 before reaching the title match.
Benard finished second and earned $1,300. Alex Glinski and Richie Teece placed third and fourth, with each earning $1,050.
The victory is an important career step for Robinson. A PBA Regional title also carries a practical benefit, as it gives a player entry into the PBA Tournament of Champions main field without needing to bowl the pre-tournament qualifier.
PBA Regional events are held in four countries: the United States, Sweden, Japan and China.
