With two rodeos down of the five-part Texas Swing comes the shuffle of the Top 20.
While the Texas Swing King, Rocker Steiner, reigns supreme this far over taking the No. 1 position, others are remaining consistent in adding to their season earnings and climbing higher in the standings to get a head start.
No. 1 Rocker Steiner, $48,250
Dubbed the Texas Swing King, Steiner has already made it clear that he is hungry for a RodeoHouston title. Until then, he still sits No. 1 in the World after cinching the win in San Antonio. An 89-point ride on Pickett Pro Rodeo’s Top Notch tied him for the Short Go win and the tie breaker went in his favor as he came into the Short Go with more money earned in San Antonio. He has won all of his money in Fort Worth and San Antonio, adding $17,750 in the latter.
No. 8 Cole Reiner, $30,021
Reiner has been hot on the heels of Steiner this Texas Swing and it was no different in San Antone. He tied for the Short Go win with a matching 89-point ride on Pickett Pro Rodeo’s Night Crawler. He trailed in the tie breaker by just over $1,000 to win it. But his tie for the Short Go added $12,500 to his earnings and pushed him from outside the Top 20 and into the Top 10.
No. 10 Weston Timberman, $27,854
Although the two-time Resistol Rookie Athlete of the Week has dropped two spots to No. 10, he has stuck with the big dogs at some of the biggest rodeos in the PRCA. Timberman won the Wildcard Round in San Antonio with an 85.5-point ride on Calgary Stampede’s Twin Cherry. His trip to Alamo City added over $8,000 to his earnings.
No. 14 Clayton Biglow, $20,886
Biglow is another veteran who has powered his way into the Top 20, a place we have come to know him, after his success in San Antonio. He left the final bracket, Bracket 5, with $6,000 already to his name before earning another $3,000 in the Semifinals. With just over $8,000 in season earnings coming into San Antonio, Biglow has found a boost of momentum that he can quickly climb the standings with.
No. 19 Bronc Marriott, $18,551
In between the first two rodeos of the Texas Swing, Marriott picked up a win at the Homestead Championship Rodeo (Florida) with a $2,600, 87-point ride. In San Antonio, he placed in two of three go-rounds in Bracket 1 before he finished fourth in his Semifinals. Short Go Saturday brought an 88-point ride that was enough for a third-place finish and another $5,000.
