CAMROSE, Alta. – As the lone rider to go a perfect 2-for-2 in Camrose, Alberta, Jared Parsonage (Maple Creek, Saskatchewan) won the PBR (Professional Bull Riders) Canada Touring Pro Division’s Rose City Invitational, recapturing the No. 1 rank in the heated battle to be crowned the national champion and earn the accompanying $50,000 bonus.

Parsonage set the tone early in Round 1 when he delivered the fourth-best score, topping Bull Dozer (Skori Bucking Bulls) for 85 points.

The reserved Saskatchewan man then took on Wild Time (Vold Rodeo) in the championship round. Remaining in perfect time with the animal athlete, Parsonage posted the top score of the round, marked 86.5 points, clinching the event victory.

Compliments of the golden finish, Parsonage netted a crucial 124 Canadian points. He leap-frogged No. 1 Coy Robbins (Camrose, Alberta) for the No. 1 rank in the national standings, now 90.34 points out front.

Event-organizer Robbins tied for sixth via his 1-for-2 effort. Robbins’ 83.5-point ride aboard Big Easy (Skori Bucking Bulls) garnered him 20.66 points.

Round 1 winner Weston Davidson (Strongfield, Saskatchewan) was second, netting 78 Canadian points.

After posting the top score of the event in Round 1, dominating Times A Wasting (Thompson Rodeo Livestock) for 87 points, Davidson was unable to remain atop the leaderboard in the championship round when he was tossed by The Remedy (X6 Ranch Bucking Cattle/B2 Braithwaite Ranches) in a quick 3.66 seconds.

Davidson surged from No. 9 to No. 4 in the national standings, now within 145.5 points of No. 1 Parsonage.
