Tie-Down Roper Tuf Cooper Gets Elusive San Antonio Title

Tuf Cooper has won just about every big rodeo in his storied career, but never San Antonio, until Saturday.

Cooper registered a time of 7.2 seconds, the second fastest of the entire rodeo, to win a Short Round that had four times of 7.9 seconds or faster.

“Oh my goodness, this is the coolest thing ever, that was so much fun,” Cooper said. “San Antone has been a close one for me for a lot of years.”

Also placing in the Short Round was Cooper Martin with a 7.5, Haven Meged with a 7.8 and John Douch with a 7.9.

With the win, Cooper moved from No. 14 to No. 3 in the PRCA Tie-Down Roping World Standings.
