Flawless Grady Young Wins in Yorkton, Saskatchewan to Clinch Big to 2026 PBR Canada National Finals

YORKTON, Sask. – As the 2026 PBR (Professional Bull Riders) Canada regular season wound to a close Saturday night in Yorkton, Saskatchewan, Grady Young (Leader, Saskatchewan) showed up and showed out, going a perfect 4-for-4 to win the Touring Pro Division’s Mazergroup PBR and clinch his berth to the PBR Canada National Finals.

Young began the event ranked No. 20 in the nation, 56 points outside of the nation’s Top 18 and a guaranteed berth to the 2026 PBR Canada National Finals on Nov. 13-14 in Edmonton, Alberta, at Rogers Place.

As action got underway, Young was quick to strike in Round 1, tying for the top score when he covered Where’s It At (Vold Rodeo) for 85.6 points. The young Saskatchewan rider continued his momentum in Round 2, delivering his second score in as many attempts when he outlasted Jerry (S&M Bucking Bulls) for 83.4 points.

Young then took on Red Rust (Vold Rodeo) in Round 3. Dominating the powerful animal athlete, Young won his second round at Westland Arena at Gallagher Centre courtesy of his 86.9-point score.

The reigning CPRA bull riding champion then clinched the win when he became the only rider to conclude the event a flawless 4-for-4, covering Moosomin Dodge Elk (Lazy S Bucking Bulls) for 86.4 points in Round 4.

Netting 81.5 points for the golden finish, Young surged from No. 20 to No. 17 in the Canadian national standings, clinching his berth to the year-end National Finals.

Lonnie West (Cadogan, Alberta) was second, collecting 63.5 national points.

West was the undeniable leader on the event’s opening day, sweeping both Round 1 and Round 2 via an 85.6-point score on Wild Time (Vold Rodeo) and 86.1-point effort aboard Bud Heavy (Vold Rodeo).

As Championship Saturday got underway, West continued to convert, outlasting Rip Dinger (Vold Rodeo) for 86.5 points in the third round.

The veteran contender’s hopes of victory, however, were extinguished by Rock Steady (Vold Rodeo) in Round 4 when he was bucked off in 2 seconds.

In the national standings, West rose from No. 11 to No. 7.

Third was Jett Lambert (Grande Prairie, Alberta).

Lambert began the event in less than ideal form, bucked off by Muffin Man (Vold Rodeo) in a close 7.87 seconds.

However, the Albertan was quick to rebound, covering Lord Fear (Vold Rodeo) for 84.1 points in Round 2, Bud Heavy for 86.4 points in Round 3 and Wild Time for 85.9 points in Round 4.

As the event’s lone double entry, Lambert also finished 11^th via a 1-for-4 showing, highlighted by an 83.6-point ride on Mean Jean (Outlaw Buckers Rodeo Corp.) in Round 2.

Earning a crucial 55 national points, Lambert rose from No. 22 to No. 21 in Canada.

Tanner Eno (Coronation, Alberta) was fourth.

Eno’s 83.9-point effort on That’s Joe (Rafter 8 bulls) in Round 1, 83.2-point score atop Kryptid (Rafter 8 Bulls) in Round 3 and 86.5-point trip on Batter Up (Lazy S Bucking Bulls) in Round 4 garnered him 40 national points.

In the national standings, Eno remained No. 13.

Rounding out the Top 5 in fifth was Lucas Dunand (Claresholm, Alberta).

Going 2-for-4, Dunand rode both of his bulls on Championship Saturday, marked 83.4 points on Way Back Jack (Rafter 8 Bulls) in Round 3, before winning Round 4 with the high-marked ride of the event, an 86.8-point ride on Muffin Man.

Collecting 32 national points, Dunand rose from No. 56 to No. 42 in the Canadian national standings.

In the bull pen, Super Fly (Vold Rodeo) bucked supreme, marked an event-best 43.3 points to be crowned the Bull of the Event. The powerful animal athlete delivered the head-turning marks for his 2.78 seconds of work against Lambert in Round 4.

The 2026 PBR Canada season will conclude in Edmonton, Alberta for the Command Tubular PBR Canada National Finals, presented by Edmonton’s Best Hotels, when the 2026 PBR Canada Champion will be crowned, earning the accompanying $100,000 bonus.

Action for the year-end event inside Rogers Place will get underway at 7:00 p.m. MDT on Friday, November 13 and Saturday, November 14.
