Eli Vastbinder came into the PBR World Finals as a rookie and he made a statement in Round 1.
Round 1 was nothing short of spectacular for the cowboy. He went for 91.75 points on Manaba to win the Round. It was Vastbinder’s first 90+ point ride on a bull that was previously unridden.
Vastbinder is a rookie in the PBR Unleash The Beast Tour but is far from a rookie in the sport of bull riding. He has competed in Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association, competed at the Wrangler National Finals and he is now making a run at a PBR World Title.
Vastbinder is now ranked No. 13 in the standings and is taking home $35,000. The race is tight for the World Title at the PBR World Finals in Las Vegas.
