Round number four of the 2014 Professional Bull Riders Built Ford Tough Series World Finals proved to be one that many of the top 35 cowboys in the world would like to forget very soon.  Going into Championship Sunday tonight’s round was the lowest riding percentage round of the entire 2014 event.  Only nine of the of the best bull riders of the modern era were able to conquer there opponents for the entire 8 second ride for a qualified score which really tightens up every race that is associated with the finals this year held inside the Thomas & Mack arena in beautiful Las Vegas, Nevada!

The first three sections of round four were what set the record straight as for how the night was going to be with only three riders making the whistle to receive a score to make sure their confidence was where it needed to be going into rounds five and six of Championship Sunday to determine who will be the next World Champion.  In section one only Josh Faircloth was able to make a qualified ride against Tar Heel to a tune of 77.50 points while in section two there were two riders to make the whistle and set the crowd on fire.  Ryan Dirteater was able to ride the same bull that J.B. Mauney covered in round one Wednesday night , More Big Bucks for a score of 87.25 while Lachlan Richardson scored 84.25 aboard Comfortably Numb rounding out the qualified riders for section two.  None of the contestants in section three were able to make the 8 second whistle for a qualified ride.
