Eugene McCune
Eugene McCune of Munster, Indiana is a right-handed American professional ten-pin bowler known for winning three PBA titles from 2002 to 2012. His father is PBA and USBC Hall of Famer Don McCune, and his son is 2023 PBA Players Championship winner, Kevin McCune. Thus, Eugene is the third son and fifth father to be part of a father-son duo of PBA Tour titlists. The other duos are Dick and Pete Weber, Don and Jimmy Johnson, and Guppy and Kyle Troup. The McCunes constitute the only three-generation family of PBA Tour title holders.
On Tour, Eugene was known as the "Human Rocket Launcher" for his ball speed. Being able to regularly roll the ball above 22 MPH, he holds two scoring records on the PBA's short Cheetah oil pattern. He toppled 3,647 pins in a 14-game qualifying block in 2005, and 2,468 pins during a nine-game block in 2010. Not surprisingly, two of his three PBA Tour titles were earned at the PBA Cheetah Open.
Eugene McCune also holds 3 PBA50 Tour titles, 24 PBA Regional Tour titles and 7 PBA50 Regional Tour titles.
