GREENVILLE, S.C. – In front of an electric Friday night crowd in Greenville, South Carolina inside Bon Secours Wellness Arena, Leonardo Lima rode a cut above the rest, winning Round 1 of the PBR (Professional Bull Riders) Pendleton Whisky Velocity Tour’s Greenville Invitational.

Lima delivered a sensational ride atop Pneu Dart’s Black Label (Mike Miller Bucking Bulls). Remaining in time with the animal athlete, the tough Brazilian reached the requisite 8 for a round-winning 87 points.

In addition to propelling Lima to the event lead, the score also earned him a crucial 28 Velocity Global points.

Grayson Cole (New Ringold, Pennsylvania) and Mauricio Moreira (Gaviao Peixoto, Brazil) tied for second in the opening round of competition, within a mere 0.5 points of the event lead.

Delivering matching 86.5-point rides to net 17.5 Velocity Global points, Cole covered Little N Loud (Lucas Manning Bucking Bulls), while Moreira topped Grinch (C Check Bucking Bulls).

During an evening which included 10 qualified rides, Carlos Garcia (Abingdon, Virginia) notched the fourth-best score to garner 16 Velocity Global points.

Garcia reached the whistle atop Rock Solid (C Check Bucking Bulls), marked 86 points.

Rounding out the Top 5 in fifth was Tyler Manor (Portland, Indiana).
