KANSAS CITY, Mo. ― A capacity Sprint Center crowd was treated to
a hometown victory when Raymore, Missouri's Luke
Snyder earned 91.5 points aboard King
Lopez (K-C Bucking Bulls) to win the 15/15 Bucking
Battle.
Snyder was the only PBR rider to make a qualified ride during the
battle and did so aboard a bull he had failed to ride twice before.
His 91.5 score is the highest recorded since the Winston-Salem,
N.C., Built Ford Tough Series event earlier this year.
"I felt awesome," Snyder said. "All these years I've come to
Kansas City and done OK, so to give all of my friends and family
something like that is just a good feeling."
The 15/15 Bucking Battle spelled victory for World Champion Bull
Bushwacker, as well. Earning 48 points, the
highest bull score of the 2013 Built Ford Tough Series season,
Bushwacker dumped Mike Lee after three jumps and
kept alive the longest buckoff streak in PBR history at 38.
"I think he's about as good as one can get,
but you never know."
The score tied Bushwacker's all-time best performance. He received
48 points during the 2011 World Finals on his way to becoming the
2011 World Champion Bull.
"I don't know if you can ask one to be much better," said Kent
Cox, who handles and hauls Bushwacker for Julio Moreno and Richard
Oliveira. "I think he's about as good as one can get, but you never
know. I'm sure not going to ask him for much more than he's giving
us right now. I think he is in his prime."
Bushwacker was the Monster Energy Money Bull tonight, carrying a
bonus of $57,000 for a successful ride. With the buckoff, the
Monster Energy Money Bull bonus will now be $63,000. The Built Ford
Tough Invitational continues Sunday afternoon when each of the Top
35 riders ride again during Round 2, beginning at 2 p.m. Round 2
and the Built Ford Tough Championship Round will air on CBS Sports
Network tomorrow night at 8 p.m. ET.
