Snodgrass Wins 2026 PWBA Barbara Chrisman Classic
Jordan Snodgrass of Adrian, Michigan, won the 2026 PWBA Barbara Chrisman Classic presented by Storm in Columbus, Ohio, defeating Sin Li Jane 250-198 in the title match at HP Lanes. The victory gave Snodgrass her seventh PWBA title and the $20,000 top prize.
Snodgrass put together a dominant tournament from start to finish, rolling a plus-742 total over 24 games of qualifying to earn the No. 1 seed for the stepladder finals. Sin Li Jane led after the first two qualifying rounds, but Snodgrass surged late and took control heading into match play.
The stepladder finals also featured Shannon Pluhowsky, Seo Yeon Ryu, and Olivia Risen, giving the event a strong championship lineup. Snodgrass entered the finals as the top seed and converted that position into a win with a composed, high-scoring performance.
In the title match, Snodgrass recovered from an early miss by striking out with three straight shots before closing the game with authority. She finished with 250, while Sin Li Jane ended with 198 to claim second place and $10,000.
The win was especially notable because the Barbara Chrisman Classic was the inaugural edition of the event, making Snodgrass the first champion in tournament history. Her performance also reinforced her status as one of the elite players on the PWBA Tour. It showed how strong qualifying, smart adjustments, and calm execution can carry a bowler through the pressure of stepladder finals.
