The Professional Bowlers Association (PBA) has announced Anthony LaCaze of Melrose Park, IL, as the 2009-10 Harry Golden PBA Rookie of the Year.

In the ninth tournament of the season, he won the PBA Earl Anthony Memorial Classic in January to earn an exemption for the 2010-11 season.

LaCaze ranked 27th in earnings with $42,570 and 38th in average with 211.94. He made match play in five tournaments and his other top finishes included a 17th in the Etonic Don Johnson Eliminator, 19th in the PBA Tournament of Champions and 24th in the Motor City Open.
