Ryan "Rhino" Page (born July 10, 1983) is a left-handed bowler on the Professional Bowlers Association (PBA) Tour, and was the 2008 PBA Rookie of the Year. (See PBA Bowling Tour: 2007-08 season.) He is also a former U.S. Amateur champion, winning the event in 2005. A San Diego, California native, Page now resides in Dade City, Florida. Page attended the University of Kansas in Lawrence, Kansas. He helped the Jayhawks win the school's first-ever Intercollegiate Bowling Championship in 2004, and was named the MVP of the championships.
Page has won four PBA titles, including one in each of his first three years on tour. He began the 2007-08 season as a non-exempt bowler, meaning he had to bowl in the Tour Qualifying Round (TQR) every week just to make the starting field of 64 bowlers. He became the third player in PBA history to win a tournament out of the TQR when he won the Go RVing Classic in March, 2008. Along the way, he set a number PBA rookie records, including:
Page won the PBA Viper Championship on September 5, 2009 in Allen Park, Michigan, 268-246, over Tour rookie Ryan Ciminelli. This was his third PBA title to date. He finished runner-up in the 2008-09 Tournament of Champions, losing the final match to friend and Tour roommate Patrick Allen, 267-263.
Page also won the PBA Experience Showdown in April 2010. This was a non-title special event featuring the five winners of the 2009-10 oil pattern championships.
In the 2009 Dydo Japan Cup, Page made history by becoming the first bowler ever to roll a 300 game in the televised final round of this event. Although he did not go on to win the tournament, he earned a $100,000 bonus for the perfect game.
On November 9, 2012 Page was the first player selected by the new PBA League.
Through the end of the 2016 season, he had totaled 14 perfect 300 games in PBA events and had cashed over $570,000 in winnings. He also owns six PBA Regional titles.
