ARLINGTON, Texas - Mike Fagan won his first career major title Sunday at the 2012 Alka-Seltzer Plus Liquid Gels United States Bowling Congress Masters, and USBC Youth members in the Henderson, Nev., area had the chance to watch the final matches and to meet the new champion.
Fagan, a three-time winner on the Professional Bowlers Association Tour, trailed early in the title match against top-seed Chris Barnes. But Fagan managed to make a 30-pin comeback for a 246-213 victory at Sunset Station's Strike Zone Bowling Center.

Following his victory, the USBC Youth bowlers went onto the approach to have their picture taken with Fagan.
