2 Rounds Left On a night where five world champions took victory laps for the round's best rides and runs, tie-down roper Cody Ohl had the widest grin of them all. Already the owner of four tie-down roping world titles and another as the world's top all-around cowboy, Ohl will need to find room in his trophy case for another. He clinched the world tie-down roping title Thursday in winning style, highlighting Round 8 of the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo in front of 17,740 at the Thomas & Mack Center. Ohl (Hico, Texas) roped and tied his calf in 7.6 seconds, good for a share of the round title with Clint Robinson (Spanish Fork, Utah). The $14,342 in prize money gave Ohl an insurmountable lead with just two days remaining in the ProRodeo season. He also leads the lucrative 10-head average race by nearly seven seconds, giving him the potential to earn quite a payday when the rodeo ends on Saturday. Ohl wasn't the only one assuring that a gold buckle will be in his immediate future. Trevor Brazile, the three-time world champion all-around cowboy, wrapped up rodeo's most coveted title, while Will Lowe, the reigning and two-time world champion bareback rider, will become the first cowboy in his event to repeat as world champion since Marvin Garrett from 1994-95....This article will also give you links to all the results, round by round.
