Chad Rutherford rode Big Rafter’s Minnie Pearl for 86 points to win Bracket 4, Round 1 of the bareback riding in Fort Worth.
Rutherford won $1,760 for his ride and currently sits No. 8 in the PRCA World Standings thanks to his tie for first at the Texas Circuit Finals on Jan. 1.
“This rodeo is home, it’s right down the road from my house, this is where I come to have fun,” Rutherford said.
Zach Hibler was second in the performance with 83 and Jacob Lees and Mason Clements split third place money with 82 apiece. The second performance of Bracket 4 is Friday afternoon and the Top 2 money earners advance directly to the Semifinals.
