Billy Murphy
Murphy began bowling at age 4 in Hutchinson, Kan., where his grandfather owned Countryside Lanes. His uncle founded the bowling program at Wichita State University, where Murphy competed before spending six years as a top amateur bowler. He is now a member of the Professional Bowler’s Association who has shot 22 perfect games. Under his guidance, Newman defeated WSU in the schools’ only head-to-head competition.
