Going 2-for-2, Casper rode Shock Rock (Wild Hoggs Bucking Bulls) for 84 points to finish in a tie for second in Round 1. In the championship round he captured an 85.5 on F.O.A.D. (Thompson Rodeo) to finish fourth. Overall however his 169.5 points on two edged second-place man Kache Moosman (Price, Utah) by a half point.

For Casper’s work he earned $3,287.37, 270 Canadian and 60 world points. The world points move him up to No. 47 from No. 55 in the world standings and the Canadian points catapult him well inside the Top 20 in the nation.

For Moosman, his 2-for-2 performance was put together between an 83 on Finning Overhaul (Flying Four Bucking Bulls) in Round 1 and an 86 in the championship round on Blue Monkey (Girletz Rodeo Stock). For his efforts, the 28-year-old bull rider earned $2,348.12, 165 Canadian and 30 world points.

Third in Edgerton on Friday was Dakota Buttar (Kindersley, Saskatchewan) with his sixth Top 5 finish in the past month.

A total of $1,823.25, 165 Canadian and 20 world points were added to Buttar’s championship account bid moving him up to No. 32 from No. 33 in the world and holding him steady at the No. 5 spot in Canada.
