earnings, putting him more than $40,000 behind Riley Webb for the top spot. In San Angelo, Mayfield took run ner-up in the opening go with an effort of 7.7 seconds, then missed out earning round money in the second with a time of 8.5 seconds. That created the narrow margin be tween Mayfield and Yates heading into the finals. With the victory hanging in the bal ance, Mayfield and his horse, Lol lipop, got the job done. Mayfield's time of 7.7 seconds was second in the short go, just behind Yates at 7.6. But his narrow buffer going into the final round proved to be enough, allowing him and Lollipop to secure the average title. "She's phenomenal," Mayfield said. "She's an amazing horse. She makes my job easy. She does every job every time." Despite two World Championships buckles already in his trophy case, San Angelo had proven to be a difficult event for Mayfield since his first runs at the event in 2019. He failed to loop his calf in the first go last year and missed both tries in 2023. In five previous appearances, Mayfield has only managed to catch both his first and second-go calves twice, resulting in just one trip to the short go in 2021 where he missed his last throw. After years of frustrating finishes, Mayfield finally has another rodeo average title to add to his resume. "It means a lot. I've always wanted to get a win here at San Angelo but never really had the best of luck here," Mayfield said. "So to come out here and pick things back up, they've been a little bit slower late ly, it means a lot."
