Marshall Kent (born September 21, 1992) is an American ten-pin bowler from Yakima, Washington. He competes on the PBA Tour, and has been a member of Junior Team USA and Team USA. He has won multiple PBA titles and PBA regional titles.

Amateur career

Kent was a five-time member of Team USA, and was a two-time Collegiate Player of the Year (2011-12 and 2012-13) bowling for Robert Morris University Illinois.[1]

Kent won a gold medal in trios at the 2011 PABCON Youth Championships, and was the 2012 Russian Open Champion.[1] He won two gold medals (singles and team) in the 2012 World Youth Championships, and a team gold medal in the 2012 PABCON Championships.[1]

Kent won the 2014 Brunswick Euro Challenge as an amateur, and thus his win did not qualify for a PBA title.[1]

Professional bowling career

Shortly after his Brunswick Euro Challenge win in March 2014, Kent joined the Professional Bowlers Association. He was named the 2014 Harry Golden PBA Rookie of the Year.[1] Through July 2017, he had career earnings of $223,530.50.[1] In addition to standard tournament wins, Kent has four PBA regional titles and a runner-up finish at the 2016 U.S. Open.[1]
