Steve Jaros

Steve Jaros, born in 1965 and living in Yorkville, Illinois, is an American former professional ten-pin bowler and a member of the Professional Bowlers Association. On the PBA Tour he won seven national titles, one of them a major, was runner-up ten times and made another 27 top-five appearances, and he also won 43 PBA Regional Tour titles, the third most of all time. On the way to the 1999 Chattanooga Open he rolled a 300 game against Ricky Ward, the fourteenth televised perfect game in PBA history, which made up for a 129 at the 1992 Brunswick World Memorial Open, the lowest game ever shown on a PBA telecast. His lone major was the 2005 PBA Tournament of Champions, where he beat Bryan Goebel 247-186 in the semifinal and Norm Duke 248-242 in the title match. He was inducted into the PBA Hall of Fame by the Veterans Committee in 2024 and earned just under 1.75 million dollars in his PBA career.
