Learn became a PBA member in 1981, bowling mostly in
PBA Regional Tour events until joining the national
PBA Tour full-time in 1984. He won five PBA Tour titles during his career, including a major at the 1999
U.S. Open, but is most noted for: • Rolling the PBA's 10th televised
300 game in the opening match of the final round at the
PBA Flagship Open, earning a $100,000 bonus. This was easily the highest-scoring televised finals in PBA Tour history, as the four opponents Learn bowled against (
Johnny Petraglia,
John Mazza,
Parker Bohn III, and
Randy Pedersen) combined for 1,084 pins, 14 more than Ozio's 4-game record. Learn's fifth and final
PBA Tour title came in 2001 at the
Dydo Japan Cup. He also has ten career runner-up finishes on the PBA Tour, and has earned over $1 million in PBA events. He joined the PBA Senior Tour (renamed the PBA50 Tour) in 2012, and has three titles on that tour to date. He also has 25
PBA Regional Tour titles and four PBA50 Regional Tour titles.
