The victory and round win netted Correa 59 Velocity Global points.
Carlos Gomes Junior (Carmo de Minas, Brazil) went 1-for-2, finishing second.
After getting off to a strong start in Round 1 by topping Day Money (Carr Pro Rodeo) for an event-high 87 points, Gomes was unable to take advantage of his lead in the final round, bucking off Dirt Dobber (Carr Pro Rodeo) in 3.19 seconds.
The silver finish garnered the Brazilian 36 Velocity Global points.
The final spot on the podium belonged to Jake Dunham (Tucson, Arizona).
Locking in early, the Arizonan rocketed out of the chutes on White Trash (Carr Pro Rodeo) for 85 points in Round 1.
