LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A Louisville man accomplished a lifelong dream on Wednesday night.
38-year-old Matt Ogle won his first career Pro Bowling Association Tour singles title at the PBA Shark Championship, defeating Sam Cooley, of Australia, 204-191 in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin.
This is Ogle's second PBA title, winning the Mark Roth/Marshall Holman PBA Doubles Championship in 2019 with Sean Rash.
"This was a dream," Ogle told PBA.com. "This is what I wanted. This is it. I did it."
