In the first ride ever at the inaugural Cowboy Channel Rookie Roundup presented by Resistol, Waylon Bourgeois won the Long Round in the bareback riding with 83 points on United Pro Rodeo’s Jungle Cat.
“It was just a good horse, one to go show your stuff on,” Bourgeois said. “I’m just having fun rodeoing, I can’t thank God enough for giving me blessings like this. I’m just happy.”
Bourgeois, who entered the event No. 3 in the Resistol Rookie Bareback Riding Standings, won $1,329 for his round win on Friday afternoon. Money for the event counts for the Resistol Rookie Standings, but not the PRCA World Standings.
