Lostroh world's best bull rider

Kody Lostroh won $1 million for his first Professional Bull Riders world championship Sunday, and JB Mauney took the last round to become the only rider ever to cover all eight bulls in the world finals.

Lostroh came 0.53 seconds away from also successfully riding all eight of his bulls, but was bucked off Voodoo Child in 7.47 seconds.

One rider earlier, Mauney scored 93.75 points on Black Pearl to secure his first finals aggregate title with 715 points. He earned $250,000.

Lostroh clinched the season title with a third-place ride in the seventh round at Thomas & Mack Center. He held the top spot for the last 20 events of the regular season and eight finals rounds, finishing with 16,640 points.

Mauney was second with 16,046, and 2008 world champion Guilherme Marchi, who was bucked off in five of the seven rounds, was third at 11,970.75.

Lostroh was second in the aggregate with 624 points, and Valdiron de Oliveira, who also covered seven bulls, was third at 618.5.
