NO. 1 DALTON KASEL REBOUNDS IN ROUND 3 OF THE 2025 PBR WORLD FINALS

FORT WORTH, Texas – On the third night of the 2025 PBR (Professional Bull Riders) World Finals: Unleash The Beast – Eliminations, world No. 1 Dalton Kasel (Muleshoe, Texas) rebounded after beginning the event 0-for-2, delivering the third-best score of Round 3 to extend his lead atop the World Championship race.

Much like Kasel, No. 2 Brady Fielder (Clermont, Queensland, Australia) also delivered his first score of the 2025 PBR World Finals, while No. 3 John Crimber (Decatur, Texas) bucked off for the first time at the season-ending event.

Round 3 of Eliminations marked the third consecutive sold-out crowd for the 2025 PBR World Finals with a capacity crowd again filling the iconic Cowtown Coliseum on Saturday night.

As the final rider to leave the chutes Saturday evening, Kasel prepared to take on The Kraken (Blake Sharp/UB Bucking Company). Remaining in perfect time with the powerful animal athlete, Kasel, who rides for the Austin Gamblers in the separate PBR Teams league, reached the requisite 8 with ease as the raucous crowd erupted in cheer. He was marked 88.75 points, the third-best score of the round, to earn 44 Unleash The Beast points.

Courtesy of the score, Kasel grew his lead to 157 points over No. 2 Fielder.

Fielder registered his first score of the 2025 PBR World Finals, finishing 11^th in Round 3. The Texas Rattlers star’s 86-point ride atop Bueno (Blake Sharp/Huff Bulls) netted him 13 Unleash The Beast points.

For the first time during the 2025 PBR World Finals, No. 3 Crimber was bucked off. Crimber was upended by Rorschach (Universal Pro Rodeo/Rachel & Dustin Powell/Delmas/Williams) in a quick 2.14 seconds.

The Florida Freedom’s Crimber slipped to third on the event leaderboard and now trails No. 1 Kasel by 419 points.

Two riders improved to a perfect 3-for-3 at the 2025 PBR World Finals – Eliminations on Saturday evening.

Carolina Cowboy Clay Guiton (Cherryville, North Carolina) remained first in the event by delivering what tied for the seventh-best score of Round 3. Topping Let’s Roll (Stoltzfus/Bob & Jerry Adams/BS Cattle Co.) for 87.25 points, Guiton collected 26 Unleash The Beast points.

Guiton remains No. 5 in the world, now 565 points back of the No. 1 rank.

Two-time PBR World Champion and member of the 2024 PBR Teams Champion Austin Gamblers Jose Vitor Leme (Ribas do Rio Pardo, Brazil) sits second. He logged his third consecutive qualified ride when he covered Triple Aught (Addi Drury/Nothin’ But Try/Diggers) for 89.25 points to earn 48 Unleash The Beast points.

Leme rose one spot in the standings climbing from No. 14 to No. 13.

Austin Richardson (Dallas, Texas) won Round 3 of Eliminations, registering just the second 90-point ride of the 2025 PBR World Finals.

The Nashville Stampede’s Richardson rode Rank Frank (Rafter G Rodeo) for a monster 90.75 points to garner 89 Unleash The Beast points.

Richardson’s first score of bull riding’s crown jewel propelled him from No. 16 to No. 12 in the standings.

During PBR World Finals – Eliminations, each of the 45 competing bull riders will attempt one bull nightly. Following the four rounds of action, the Top 15 in the Unleash The Beast standings and Top 5 in the Eliminations aggregate not already advancing will directly punch their ticket to the 2025 PBR World Finals – Championship on May 17-18 in nearby Arlington at AT&T Stadium, which will crown the 2025 World Champion and World Finals event winner.
