Robert Learn, Jr. (born April 4, 1962) is a former professional ten-pin bowler on the Professional Bowlers Association (PBA) Tour. He is nicknamed, "Mr. 300." He won five titles during his PBA career,[1] 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. The event was held in Learn's hometown of Erie, PA on April 6, 1996.
  • Setting the all-time PBA record for total pins in a four-game TV final at the same event. Learn shot games of 300, 270, 280 and 279 for a total of 1,129. This shattered the previous PBA record of 1,070 pins, set in 1995 by David Ozio. In the four matches, Learn recorded 44 of a possible 48 strikes.[2]

Learn's final PBA title came in 2001 at the Dydo Japan Cup.

Originally from Erie, Pennsylvania, Learn now resides in Macomb, Michigan.[3] He joined the PBA Senior Tour (renamed the PBA50 Tour) in 2012, and has three titles on that Tour to date.
