The bulls were pre-selected for the challenge by PBR Livestock Director Cody Lambert; after a coin toss during which Clark made the call, Robinson faced Priest Creek Ranches’ 3 Spot, while Clark was up against Ryan McClure’s Hypnotic. Robinson earned 88.5 points for his effort aboard 3 Spot to edge Clark, who scored 88.25, by just one quarter of one point for the $25,000.
