At the conclusion of an adrenaline-charged night, it was rookie sensation Zack Brown (Chino Hills, Calif.) who stole the show in a commanding 90 point performance aboard Jack Simmons' bull Desert Storm. Brown failed in his attempt to cover Flying U Rodeo Company's Reindeer Dippin', the designated Mossy Oak Bonus Bull, and consequently the bonus money increases to $40,000 for the Laughlin Invitational.
As the BULLNANZA-Oklahoma City event champion, Brendon Clark (Morpeth, New South Wales, Australia) was eligible for the "Enterprise Ride with the Best" $5,000 first round bonus but failed to earn the incentive after his first go round draw turfed him. Clark has a chance at a second $5,000 during the second go round.
