What are these rookies eating? Because whatever it is, the rest of the Tourmight want to order the same. Austin Grammar, a 23-year-old from Ohio in his first season on the PBA Tour,came within a single pin of perfection at the PBA New York Classic. Facing two-time major champion Kris Prather in the title match, Grammar fired299 to secure his first-ever PBA Tour title, barely missing a perfect gamewhen the 2 pin refused to fall. Without a brand sponsorship behind him, and with all the perks it comes with (including a ball rep), Grammar trusted the Hammer Black Widow3.0 Dynasty and delivered the performance most of us can only dream of. With the victory, he joins Brandon Bonta and Spencer Robarge as the third rookiethis season to capture a PBA Tour title. Here’s how the rest of the stepladder finals played out at the PBA New YorkClassic. #4 seed Kris Prather vs. #5 seed Chris Via In the opening match between Kris Prather and Chris Via, both playersstruggled early. Prather failed to convert a 4-10 split in the opening frames,while Via had trouble carrying, leaving the 10 pin in three of his first fourframes. The two also approached the lanes differently. Prather stayed with a reactiveStorm IQ Tour A.I., while Via began with the urethane Storm IQ Tour 78/Ubefore switching to reactive equipment in the middle of the match. That changehelped Via strike and take a narrow lead into the commercial break. After the break, neither player found much rhythm, and the match remainedtight without a clear advantage. The turning point came in the tenth framewhen Via left a split and could not convert. Prather needed only good count toclose it out, and he did just that, advancing with a 194-171 victory to faceRiley Woodard in the second match. #3 seed Riley Woodard vs. #4 seed Kris Prather Match two, between 21-year-old rookie Riley Woodard and Kris Prather, beganwith a strike from the two-time major champion and a split from Woodard, whowas making his TV debut on the PBA Tour. However, the momentum shifted quickly. Woodard settled in, began striking withurethane, and built an early 12-pin lead heading into the commercial break. That advantage did not last. Woodard left splits in the seventh and eighthframes and failed to convert either one. Prather took full advantage,delivering a turkey to extend his lead to 34 pins. Woodard’s ninth-frame shot missed wide, and although he converted a difficultspare and added three strikes in the tenth, the match was already decided.Prather secured a 235-191 victory to move on to the semifinal. #4 seed Kris Prather vs. #2 Patrick Dombrowski In the semifinal between Kris Prather and Patrick Dombrowski, Prather came outfiring with a four-bagger to take early control. Dombrowski opened with adouble but then left back-to-back splits, handing Prather a massiveopportunity. By the time they reached the commercial break, Prather had builta commanding 47-pin lead. After the break, Dombrowski found his rhythm and began striking, but thedeficit was simply too large. Prather stayed clean and avoided any majormistakes, effectively locking up the match by the ninth frame. He advanced tothe championship match with a dominant 244-156 victory. Next on the schedule, the PBA Tour heads to Portland, Maine for the Owen’sCraft Mixers PBA Roth/Holman Doubles Championship, taking place April 14-19,2026 at Bayside Bowl.
