Michael Fagan is an American professional bowler and an exempt bowler on the PBA Tour. Known for his high backswing, he is sometimes known as the "King of Swing". He has a high RPM rate, but also has a smooth release, so his style can be classified as either a cranker or a power stroker. Fagan owns four PBA Tour titles, including one major. He won the PBA Exempt Doubles Classic in 2008 with Danny Wiseman, and captured his first singles title at the 2010 One-a-Day Dick Weber Open. His doubles win came in his 108th career event. He beat all-time titles leader Walter Ray Williams Jr. at the Dick Weber Open for his singles title. His most recent victory came at the 2012 Brunswick Euro Challenge, a World Bowling Tour event, where he was credited with a PBA Title. In his first TV finals appearance, Fagan lost to Chris Barnes in the semifinals of the 2003 Empire State Open in Latham, New York, 247-195. But in 2012, he got his revenge on Barnes, overcoming a 30-pin deficit after five frames to win his first major championship in the USBC Masters. Fagan narrowly missed winning a second consecutive major in that season's U.S.
