Here are the Round 2 day winners in each of the seven events:

Bareback Riding – Scott Montague
Steer Wrestling – Ronnie Fields
Team Roping – Shain Sproul / Kinney Harrell
Saddle Bronc Riding – Rusty Allen
Tie-Down Roping – Cade Swor
Barrel Racing – Shali Lord
Bull Riding – Zeb Lanham

After only two steer wrestlers put up sub-4 scores on Friday, six competitors accomplished this feat on Saturday – that’s some serious bulldogging. This led to some “businessman” rides later in the round, as those competitors shifted their focus from the day money to putting up solid (if unspectacular) runs to keep themselves in the 10-round average competition.

In the bull riding competition, after eight cowboys finished rides on Friday, only four riders were able to stay on the full eight seconds in Round 2. Zeb Lanham rode Fender Bender to a big score of 94.

Day one of the National Finals Rodeo is in the books. Here are the round winners in each of the seven events:

Bareback Riding – Wes Stevenson
Steer Wrestling – Garrett Nokes
Team Roping – Wade Wheatley / Kyle Lockett
Saddle Bronc Riding – Jeffery Willert
Tie-Down Roping – Cody Ohl
Barrel Racing – Denise Adams Fea
Bull Riding – Jarrod Ford

Cody Ohl moved up five spots in the Jack Daniel’s leaderboard with an impressive time of 7.4 seconds, but strained his groin in the process. Matt Austin continued to dominate the bull riding field with a fourth place finish last night. That puts him 92K ahead of the 2nd place competitor, Bryan Richardson.
