Change for a Dollar?

“It’s going to come down to the wire. I think it’ll be 64 cents separating some people. In the timed events it’s always really tight and dollar for dollar, but usually ours (roughstock) is more spread out, but I think it’ll be tight in every event.” – ISAAC DIAZ

Saddle bronc rider Isaac Diaz found himself 64 cents outside the Top 15 of the PRCA | RAM World Standings as of Aug. 4.

who was injured Aug. 24, 2019, and hadn’t competed until Sidney, tied for the win with an 84.5-point ride on Fettig Pro Rodeo’s U B Rockin. Sundell took home $2,660, as did Logan Hay who equaled Sundell’s score while aboard Cervi Championship Rodeo’s Roller Coaster.
