In front of a sold-out Saturday night crowd at The Well, Ezekiel Mitchell delivered a perfect 3-for-3 performance to win the PBR Pendleton Whisky Tour event in Greenville
When action got underway Friday night, Mitchell dominated Round 1, delivering the top score when he rode bull Bossed Up for a score of 7.
The charismatic Texan then solidified his position atop the event leaderboard when he delivered the second-best score of Round 2, riding Walk It Out for 85 points.
As the last man to leave the chutes Saturday night inside Bon Secours Wellness Arena, Mitchell then went head-to-head with Pocket Change in the championship round.
Marked 84 points, Mitchell’s third qualified ride in as many attempts clinched him the event win. Mitchell left the Palmetto State having earned a crucial 144 Velocity Tour points.
As the only other rider to go a perfect 3-for-3, Michael Lane was second, Lane rode Walk It Out for 86 points in Round 1, before making a business decision in Round 2, electing to keep his 57-point ride atop Smokin’ Hot (C Check Bucking Bulls) as opposed to taking his re-ride opportunity.
The veteran rider then punctuated his perfect performance with an event-best, 89-point ride in the championship round.
It was another sell out for the PBR Tour in Greenville which has become an annual tour stop and has seen a great response in recent years.
