The match roping at the Cinch Roping Fiesta in San Angelo saw the reigning World Champion Shad Mayfield face off against three-time Tie-Down Roping World Champion Tuf Cooper.
Cooper, who was coming off of hand surgery, won the 12-head match and the $20,000 winner-take-all prize.
Both of their fathers, Roy Cooper and Sylvester Mayfield, were in attendance. Those two have both been to the Wrangler NFR and have matched at San Angelo in the past.
“This year marked 68 years of calf roping history at the San Angelo Roping Fiesta,” Cooper said. “Pretty cool to have our dads there coaching us through our match.”
Cooper defeated Haven Meged, the 2019 World Champion, in last year’s Roping Fiesta match.
