The 37-year-old just lifted his 25^th Professional Bowlers Association title after taking out the Chameleon Championship with a 232-202 victory over Brad Miller.

The accolade brings Belmonte to 10^th on the all-time titles won list as he's tied with Hall of Famer Brian Voss.

Winning a PBA event is impressive enough on its own but what makes Belmonte's triumph even more spectacular is that he'd only been in America for three weeks after missing a chunk of the season due to COVID-19.

He stepped into the arena for his first event back after a huge layoff and blitzed the competition.

After the victory, Belmonte reflected on the result and what it means to him.

"25 means a lot considering 11 years ago was my debut," Belmonte said. "To have won 10 years ago, it's surreal to reach a milestone like that."

And even though the victory is extremely significant in terms of overall rankings, Belmonte won't pay attention to that side of things until he calls it quits.

"I don't look at it as being ranked 10th all time in wins," he said.

Right now, with my drive and motivation this is just a peg along the way, another steppingstone. The stats and rankings are things I'll reflect on at the end when I am retired."

The Chameleon win, coming as part of the Storm PBA World Series of Bowling XI, was his third PBA title of 2020, including the US Open and PBA World Championship.

The US Open win in Nebraska in February completed a career Super Slam. The World Championship victory back in March in Las Vegas, also part of WSOB XI, added to his record 13 major championships.

Belmonte is locked in as the No. 1 seed for the upcoming 2020 PBA Playoffs as the PBA points leader, has the highest average on tour and advanced to the TV finals in both the 2020 PBA Players Championship and PBA Tournament of Champions.

In other words, a sixth Chris Schenkel PBA Player of the Year award seems a lock for 2020. Belmonte, who previously won the Player of the Year award in 2013, 2014, 2015, 2017 and 2019, would join the legendary Earl Anthony with six.

"Coming into these WSOB events, if someone was to win three animal patterns and win the playoffs, it was in back of your mind that a player could get on a roll like that," Belmonte said. "So, heading into today's show and before the final shot against Brad, I told myself, 'Give it your best shot and get as many points and titles as you can.' My case for Player of the Year will be very strong to deny."
