The PRCA Extreme Bulls Tour Finale kicked off on Tuesday and finished last night.  Four cowboys earned over $10,000 during the Finale. Nobody made a qualified score in all four rounds. Two cowboys did have qualified rides in three rounds and earned money in all those rounds. 

Let's take a look at the top five finishers in each round and the overall average:

Round 1:

  1. Stetson Wright  -  $5,640
  2. Trey Benton  - $3,760
  3. TJ Gray - $3,760
  4. Josh Frost - $2,068
  5. Clayton Sellars - $1,316

Stetson Wright and Josh Frost, respectively number one and two in the world, would both earn money in the first round. Benton would also earn a paycheck to hopefully help him on his move towards the top-15 in the standings.

Round 2:

  1. Stetson Wright - $5640
  2. Josh Frost - $4324
  3. Creek Young - $3196
  4. Ky Hamilton - $1692
  5. Trey Holsten - $1692

Again, Wright and Frost earn a check, each taking the winnings from their respective spots in the world standings. Hamilton, number three in the world would earn money. And, Young and Holsten, both of whom are in the top-6 in the world would share in the earnings for the round.

Round 3:

  1. TJ Schmidt - $5721
  2. Parker Breding - $3277
  3. Hayes Weight - $2149
  4. Josh Frost - $1397
  5. Coy Pollmeier - $1021

Schmidt of South Dakota won the round. Breding, ranked number 26 in the world and from Montana, placed second. Josh Frost would continue making money in the third round. Weight, the number nine cowboy in the standings, would add some money to his year's earnings. Pollmeier, number 29 in the standings, rounded out the top-5.

Round 4:

  1. Stetson Wright - $6533
  2. Ky Hamilton - $5217
  3. Jordan Hansen - $4089
  4. Cullen Telfer - $2961

Wright made the ride in the fourth round and won the round with an 89 point ride.  Hamilton finished second with an 87 ride. Hansen, the number 13 man in the world standings would finish third and Telfer, ranked number 15 in the standings, would finish fourth.

Average

  1. Stetson Wright - $11,280
  2. Josh Frost - $ 8,648
  3. Creek Young - $ 6,392
  4. Ky Hamilton - $ 4,136
  5. Parker Breding - $ 2,632

As the dust settled in Pendleton at the Happy Canyon Arena, Creek Young would earn just over $10,000. Ky Hamilton would take home over $11,000. Josh Frost would add more than $16,000 to his annual earnings. But, in the end, it was all Wright, who won three rounds, the average and over $29,000.
