BRANDON, Man. – In front of a sold-out Saturday night crowd in Brandon, Manitoba, Weston Davidson (Strongfield, Saskatchewan) rode supreme, going a perfect 2-for-2 to win the PBR (Professional Bull Riders) Canada Cup Series’ Mazergroup Chute Out inside Keystone Centre.

In what proved to be a perfect pairing, Davidson remained in perfect time with the powerful animal athlete, reaching the requisite 8 with ease for 86 points. The score not only won him the championship round, but also clinched Davidson the event win.
