GUYMON, Okla. – Since 2005, only three men have been crowned PRCA steer roping world champions: Scott Snedecor, Trevor Brazile and Rocky Patterson.

Over that seven years, Snedecor owns two gold buckles (2005-2008), while Brazile (2006, 2007 and 2011) and Patterson (2009, 2010 and 2012) own three each. They’re exceptional at what they do, and that’s why they own gold.

Those men also sit atop the average leaderboard at the Guymon Pioneer Days Rodeo through the first four rounds. Patterson leads with a cumulative time of 50.1 seconds, followed by Brazile’s 52.6 and Snedecor’s 52.8.

Also among the top eight are JoJo LeMond, a three-time Wrangler National Finals Rodeo qualifier in heading, and J.D. Yates, a 21-time NFR qualifier and 11-time National Finals Steer Roping qualifier. Yates and Patterson are alumni from the Oklahoma Panhandle State University rodeo team in nearby Goodwell.
