Dominic Barrett

Dominic Simon Barrett (often called Dom Barrett) (born 30 July 1985 in Cambridge, England) is one of England's leading ten-pin bowlers.

He competes in world events and on the PBA Tour, where he has won ten titles.

Barrett was the EBT ranking runner-up in 2008.

In the first stage of the World Tenpin Masters, Barrett won 2–0 against Guy Caminsky from South Africa.

In the second stage of the tournament, Barrett won 2–0 against Paeng Nepomuceno from the Philippines.

In the third stage, he defeated Finnish bowler Osku Palermaa 2–0.

He then beat Chris Barnes in the semifinals with a two-game score of 490.

In the end, Barrett won the World Tenpin Masters at the Barnsley Metrodome with a 505 over two games, beating his opponent Jason Belmonte of Australia.

Barrett would also win the Weber Cup with Team Europe this year.

He has been the ranking winner on the European Bowling Tour (EBT) in three seasons (2010, 2012 and 2013) and is also the only player to have been named as ‘World Bowling Writers’ bowler of the year three consecutive times.

He is nicknamed "The Dominator".

For much of his PBA career, Barrett was sponsored by the Track division of Ebonite International.

Barrett was Ranking Winner on the EBT for the 2010 season.

On November 19, 2011, in his American television debut (broadcast February 19, 2012), Barrett defeated American Sean Rash of Montgomery, IL, 247–204, to win the Professional Bowlers Association Scorpion Open at the South Point Casino and Hotel in Las Vegas.

This was his first PBA Tour title.

While unable to win a PBA title, Barrett was Ranking Winner on the EBT for the 2012 season.

Barrett won the Weber Cup XIV with Team Europe teammates Mika Koivuniemi, Martin Larsen and Stuart Williams.

This total includes three PBA major titles: the PBA World Championship (2013), the U.S. Open (2018) and the Tournament of Champions (2022), which makes him one of nine triple crown winners in PBA history and the first European player to accomplish the feat.

He captured the 2013 PBA World Championship for his second PBA Tour title and first PBA major.

He then won the 2013 Qatar Open in Doha, Qatar, which qualified as his third PBA title in addition to a World Bowling Tour title.

On the EBT, Barrett was Ranking Winner for the third time in his career in 2013.

Barrett successfully defended his 2013 Qatar Open championship by winning the event again on 27 November 2014.

He defeated Stuart Williams 395–388 over the two-game final in an all-England title match.

This was his fourth PBA title.

Barrett finished runner-up at the 2015 Bowlmor AMF U.S. Open, defeating three opponents in the stepladder final before losing to Ryan Ciminelli in the final match, 236–223.

In December, 2015, Barrett was the #1 seed for the PBA World Bowling Tour Men's Finals, held in Reno, NV, and defeated Mike Fagan in the final match.

The three finalists for this non-title event were chosen and seeded based on a rolling points list of PBA International-World Bowling Tour tournaments held over the previous two years.

Barrett made a career-high nine championship round appearances during the 2015 PBA season.

As one of the top eight PBA Tour money leaders from the start of the 2015 season through the 2017 USBC Masters, Barrett was invited to participate in the inaugural Main Event PBA Tour Finals in May, 2017.

He placed seventh in the event.

Despite not winning a PBA Tour event in 2016, Barrett still had PBA earnings of almost $117,000 (USD), thanks to a third-place finish in the PBA World Championship and a second-place finish in DHC PBA Japan Invitational.

Barrett topped a 345-player field at the Brunswick Euro Challenge on 26 March 2017, defeating Thailand's Jojoe Yannaphon in the final match to win the €12,500 first prize and his fifth PBA title.

On January 28, 2018, Barrett won his sixth PBA title at the DHC PBA Japan Invitational in Tokyo, topping American Kyle Troup in the final match.

On October 31, Barrett won his seventh PBA title and second PBA major at the U.S. Open, defeating top seed Jakob Butturff in the final match by a single pin, 207–206.

Following this win, Barrett is now title-eligible for the PBA Hall of Fame (having two major championships with at least five total titles).

Barrett was announced as a finalist for the 2018 PBA Player of the Year award, but the award was given to Andrew Anderson.

He is now a member of the Brunswick pro staff after Brunswick purchased Ebonite in late 2019.

He is also sponsored by Turbo 2n1 grips and Dexter shoes.

To date, Barrett has bowled 65 perfect 300 games in professional competition, including 18 on the PBA Tour.

Barrett has 13 European Bowling Tour (EBT) titles to his name as of the end of the 2019 season, plus ten PBA titles as of 2022.
