    Professional bowling career

Following college, Fach became a member of the PBA in 2016. He made a splash in just his second PBA Tour event, winning the Barbasol PBA Players Championship, a PBA major. In the final match over top seed Ryan Ciminelli, Fach rolled 11 strikes en route to a 279–244 victory, only a 7-pin in the seventh frame keeping him from a perfect game. This made him the first-ever Canadian player to win a PBA major, as well as the first to win a PBA title of any kind on the national tour.
Fach then went through seven seasons of struggles, making only four more championship round appearances through the 2023 season. In the 2024 season, he showed marked improvement despite not winning a title. He cashed 11 times in 15 events, finishing 14th on the Tour points list while earning a career-high $97,375.
In the opening event of the 2025 season, Fach finally ended his title drought, taking the championship at the PBA Delaware Classic. Climbing from the #3 seed, he rolled games of 249 and 256 before defeating top seed Jakob Butturff by a decisive 277–200 score. Fach had eight top-ten finishes and five top-five finishes in 2025, while ranking fourth in points and sixth in earnings with a new career-high of $147,925.
Fach has also won 16 PBA Regional Tour titles, and is a three-time PBA Central Region Player of the Year.
Since Fach's victory in January 2016, two other Canadian players have won titles on the PBA Tour. François Lavoie of Quebec has won six titles on Tour, his first coming late in the 2016 season, and Mitch Hupé of Manitoba earned one title in the 2023 season.
