BANGOR, Maine – After three days and four rounds, Kase Hitt rallied from a buck off in the first round, riding three straight to overtake Grayson Cole in the Championship Round to take home the PBR Pendelton Whisky Velocity Tour event buckle in Bangor.
Despite bucking off Conductor in 5.19 seconds on his first out of the weekend, the 21-year-old cowboy rode Jillian for 85.90 points and Schizzo for 83.50 points in the second and third rounds respectively to advance to the Championship Round. Once there, he recorded the highest score of the short round with 88.30 points on Cash Goblin to move ahead of Cole for the win.
The score, a personal best for Hitt, clinched his fifth career win overall in PBR competition and his first on the Pendleton Whisky Velocity Tour.
Grayson Cole moved to the lead early with a round one win Friday night, with 89.80 points on Dinero – the high score of the event. He was the lone rider to score on the first three bulls attempted for 252.20 points heading into the Championship round. Cole also bested My Buddy Taco for 74.8 points in the second round and Chumley in the third round for 87.60 points. In the end, it was Gene’s Best who bucked off the young cowboy in 4.21 seconds, leaving the door open for Hitt to leapfrog him on the scoreboard.
Cash Keeling, the bronze finisher, won the second round in Bangor with an 87-point ride aboard Snake Oil to qualify for the Championship Round. Once there, he accepted a re-ride attempt to face All In for an 88-point ride to elevate him to a third-place finish.
