## Resource

Jason Belmonte or "Belmo" is widely considered one of the greatest bowlers in the history of the sport. However, if you ask him, he's not done yet. With 15 major championships and records that may never be broken, he is methodically chasing a legacy that would put the debate to rest once and for all. In this conversation, Kavitha talks to Belmo about the invisible playing field that makes professional bowling so brutally unforgiving, what it felt like to chase history in real time, life on a grinding tour that doesn't get nearly enough respect, and what he still has left to prove.
