NAMPA, Idaho - Riding Dark Shadow for 90 points in Round 2, followed by Charlie Bullware for 90 points in the Built Ford Tough Championship Round, Luke Snyder won the Professional Bull Riders event at the Idaho Center on Sunday.

Snyder, who began the day tied for 12th place, finished with 263.25 points, and earned $38,250 for the win. He originally scored 69 points in Round 2, but was given the option of a re-ride. He accepted, and on the final ride before the championship round, reached 8 seconds on Dark Shadow (Wolf Creek Cattle Company). He finished second in Round 2, and moved up to fourth in the average, selecting Charlie Bullware (Julio Moreno/Chadwick) in the draft for the championship round. His 90-point ride won the championship round, and his finish allowed him to climb from 15th to 11th in the Built Ford Tough Series standings.

2004 PBR World Champion Mike Lee finished second in the championship round with 88.5 points on Curveball (Flying U/Cindy Rosser Bucking Bulls), and second in the average with 260.75 points. L.J. Jenkins was the only other rider to cover three bulls, finishing third in the championship round with 88 points on Class 6 Kat (Julio Moreno/Chadwick), and third in the average with 254.75 points.

Harve Stewart, who was the leader heading into the championship round, finished fourth with 174 points, and Ryan Dirteater finished fifth with 173.75 points. Dirteater won Round 2 with 90.75 points, which was the highest score of the event. Valdiron de Oliveira finished sixth with 173.5 points, and Silvano Alves finished seventh with 172.5 points.

Oliveira remains No. 1 in the BFTS standings with 7,442 points, and increased his lead over defending PBR World Champion Alves to 656 points. Jenkins remains third in the standings with 6,701.25 points, followed by Guilherme Marchi with 6,073 points, and J.B. Mauney with 5,913.25 points.

Oliveira was stepped on after being bucked off by Rockie Smooth in the championship round. The incident was similar to one two weeks ago in Uncasville, Conn., where he was face-down in the dirt after a successful ride, stomped on in the back, and pile-driven into the arena floor, suffering a fractured eye socket. Oliveira, who did not compete last weekend, is also competing with a broken foot suffered four weeks ago at Indianapolis.

Rockie Smooth (D&H Cattle Company) won the Pabst Blue Ribbon Bull Award as high-marked bull of the event with 45 points out of a possible 50.

CBS Sports Network will broadcast action from Round 2 and the Built Ford Tough Championship Round at 10 p.m. ET on Sunday, and at 2 a.m. ET on Monday, May 14.

The BFTS will travel to Pueblo, Colo., next weekend for the Pueblo Invitational at the Southwest Motors Event Center.

Idaho was the 18th stop on the BFTS, which opened the 2012 season on Jan. 6-8 with capacity crowds at Madison Square Garden in New York. The BFTS will make 28 stops in 23 states before the Built Ford Tough World Finals in Las Vegas on Oct. 24-28.
