Granbury, TX
– nearly perfect performance in Omaha at the PRCA Justin Boots Championships
earned Clay Tryan and his partner, Travis Graves, each $35,955 at the event.
The team won the first round with a rapid 4.3-second run, followed by a
4.2-second win in the second round. In the Semi-Final round, a 4.7-second
run was good enough to win second place. The team won the Final round with
another consistent 4.6, clinching the event championship, a fantastic follow
up to their win at the Justin Boots Playoffs two weeks prior in Puyallup,
Washington.
By Saturday, Tryan had surpassed Chad Masters’ year-old record for
regular-season earnings by a header with $145,524. Clay currently leads the
PRCA standings with $146,608 - $30,000 more than second place header, Chad
Masters; and $40,000 ahead of third place header, Turtle Powell.
“It’s always great to have a lead, because you don’t have to win as much as
the next guy” says Tryan, “But the fact is we still have to rope really well
at the NFR and that’s our goal.”
