MULVANE, Kan. – Trevor Brazile, the $7-million cowboy became an eight-time steer roping world champion in dramatic fashion Saturday night.
Brazile needed to rope a steer in Round 10 to win the world title and the average – and that's exactly what he did like he's done so many times before in his legendary career.
The Decatur, Texas, cowboy clocked a 12.4-second time in Round 10 to win his record 26th career gold buckle at the 2020 Clem McSpadden National Finals Steer Roping at the Kansas Star Arena.
Brazile finished with $117,459 in the PRCA | RAM World Standings to edge runner-up Scott Snedecor's $110,779. Brazile earned $69,072 at the NFSR.
"If you don't go do your job and you don't execute, somebody else is the world champ," said Brazile, 43. "Once they told me what I was doing, that was it. I just went and made my run. This is awesome. I want everybody to know that my thanks goes to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He blessed me so much. I'm just thankful for the opportunity and the blessings that have come my way, and we were able to capitalize on this."
Brazile placed in six rounds at the NFSR and won the average with a time of 124.5 seconds on 10 head to capture his eighth steer roping gold buckle to go with the ones he won in 2006-07, 2011, 2013-15 and 2019.
Brazile's eight steer roping gold buckles are second on the all-time list behind only ProRodeo Hall of Famer Guy Allen's 18.
