Eugene McCune (born June 29, 1968) of Munster, Indiana is a right-handed American professional ten-pin bowler known for winning three PBA titles from 2002 to 2012.[1] His father is PBA and USBC Hall of Famer Don McCune, and his son is 2023 PBA Players Championship winner, Kevin McCune.[2] Thus, Eugene is the third son and fifth father to be part of a father-son duo of PBA Tour titlists. The other duos are Dick and Pete Weber, Don and Jimmy Johnson, and Guppy and Kyle Troup. The McCunes constitute the only three-generation family of PBA Tour title holders.[3]
