Australia’s Jason Belmonte and Dallas’ Mike Fagan, the leading contenders for Professional Bowlers Association Player of the Year, lead a field of four into today’s finals of the season-ending PBA Tournament of Champions.

The event airs at 10 a.m. on ESPN. First prize is $80,000.
Fagan and Ciminelli, who qualified third and fourth, will meet first, with the winner facing No. 2 qualifier Belmonte. Rash then gets the winner of that match for the title.
