McBride wins PBR world title, $1M bonus
Justin McBride won the season title and a $1 million bonus Sunday in the Professional Bull Riders' $3.2 million Built Ford Tough World Finals.
McBride, from Elk City, Okla., finished the season with 13,415.25 points, and had regular earnings of $479,230.99.
Brazil's Guilherme Marchi was second with 12,372.25 points, led the event standings with 523.75 points and topped the season money list with $488,867.83.
Jody Newberry of Conway, Ark., was third in the season standings with 9,361.5 points after finishing second in the rodeo standings with 517.75 points.
Brian Herman of Victoria, Texas, won the seventh round with a 91-point ride on Classic Pro Rodeo Company's Paleface. Brazil's Adriano Moraes was second with a 90.25 on Frontier Rodeo Company's Thunder River.
In the short round, Brazil's Helton Luiz Da Silva won with a 91 on D & H and Teague Bucking Bulls' Here's Your Sign. Marchi had an 88.75 on Roy Carter Bucking Bulls' Kidd Rock, and McBride scored 75 points on Paradise Farms Rodeo Genetics' Carno.
After Marchi became the first rider to cover his sixth bull - with his ride on Kidd Rock - in eight rounds, McBride ended the 15-rider championship round with his 75 on Camo, the sixth bull he covered.
McBride was hanging on to his rope while clinging to Camo's side when the 8-second timer sounded to make his ride official.
"That is the ugliest, worst ride I ever made since I was a calf rider," McBride said. "But, on the other hand, it was the best ride I ever made. Bull riding went out the window. That was pretty much about being a cowboy."
Marchi also was the first rider to cover his fifth bull when he tallied 89.75 points on Guess Who during the seventh round.
McBride, the final rider of the seventh round, then scored 86 on Little Lobo to set up a showdown for the world and event titles.
