Martin Larsen is 2011-12 Steve Nagy Sportsmanship Award Winner
Larsen, a veteran member of Team Sweden at age 32, earned the right to bowl as an "exempt" PBA player during the 2011-12 season after two quality seasons as a part-time international player. The six-time European Bowling Tour titlist finished third in the Dick Weber PBA Playoffs presented by Hammer and fifth in the PBA Cheetah Open presented by Ebonite.
"It’s an honor to be included in the list of some very worthy bowlers," Larsen said. "Some guys back home will say they’re not surprised I got the award, but I am. This year I’m the "nice" bowler of the year, maybe next year I can be Bowler of the Year."
Larsen joins 2009-10 winner George Lambert IV of Canada as the only two international players ever to win the Nagy Award.
*The 2002 awards where based on the 2001-02 season, marking a transition from calendar-year to seasonal.
