As if roping isn’t exciting enough, add a tie-breaking rope-off for the world championship between AQHA Professional Horsemen J.D. Yates of Pueblo, Colorado, and Bobby Lewis of Overbrook, Oklahoma, into the mix. Both ropers scored 227.5 in the first goes of junior heading. It came down to one throw, one dally and one final score that decided who would be the 2008 world champion. In his own words, Bobby was lucky enough to come out on top.
