    Prior to 1982, the pro champion was based on the year end tournament, not points gathered during an actual tour. So, results from 1975-1981 the winner was the winner of NRC Nationals:

  • 1981: Marty Hogan d Craig McCoy 9,12
  • 1980: Marty Hogan d Mike Yellen 16,12
  • 1979: Marty Hogan d Mike Yellen 10,14
  • 1978: Marty Hogan d Charlie Brumfield 12,20
  • 1977: Davey Bledsoe d Marty Hogan 20,19

    In 1975 and 1976, there were competing Pro tours (NRC and IRA). So we'll list both champions here.

  • 1976 NRC: Charlie Brumfield d Marty Hogan 8,(1),8
  • 1976 IRA: Jerry Hilecher d Steve Strandemo
  • 1975 NRC: Charlie Brumfield d Steve Strandemo 9,11
  • 1975 IRA: Charlie Brumfield d Steve Serot (13),4,2

  • 1974: There was an NRC Pro tour but no year end Nationals tourney. Steve Serot had 2 wins, Steve Keeley 1 win, Charlie Brumfield 1.

    Prior to 1974, there was no pro tour. Listed below are the Amateur/IRA champs pre 1974 (per USRA website). Note there is a bit of disagreement about whether the 1968 title should count; it technically preceeded IRA and was not widely advertised as a "National" tournament.

  • 1974: Bill Schmidtke d Steve Serot 16,(8),13 (corrected 11/1/08 from si.com archive article 6/74)
  • 1973: Charlie Brumfield d Steve Keeley 8,(13),12
  • 1972: Charlie Brumfield d Ron Rubenstein 11,0
  • 1971: Bill Schmidtke d Craig Finger (15),9,14
  • 1970: Craig Finger d Charile Brumfield 17,12
  • 1969: Bud Muehleisen d Charlie Brumfield (18),20,8
  • 1968: Bill Schultz d Bill Schmidtke (14),12,18
