Cory Melton Conquers Werewolf for $35,000
Mossy Oak Shootout Bonus Reset to $5,000
Due to a technical error in last week's Reno, NV BFTS Event, Cory Melton took the Mossy Oak Shootout ride he should have had in Reno tonight in Laughlin. He successfully rode Werewolf for a payoff of $35,000.
So the Mossy Oak Shootout bonus returned to $5,000. There was a tie for first place after the first round of the Laughlin Invitational between Mike White and Jason Bennet at 87.5 points.
Although the back judge had Mike White higher, placing him first, an injury prevented him from taking the Mossy Oak ride. Therefore Jason Bennett rode Reindeer Dippin but was bucked off in 3.9 seconds.
The Mossy Oak shootout bonus increases to $10,000 at the next BFTS event in Atlantic City.
