After five days of action in Sin City at the 2018 PBR World Finals, Kindersley’s Dakota Buttar ends his season as the top-ranked Canadian in the Professional Bull Riders (PBR) world standings.

Entering the event ranked 14th in the world, Buttar finished a career-best 17th.

Going 1-for-5 at the PBR World Finals, he received the Glen Keeley Award for the second consecutive year. His qualifying ride for 82.75 points in Round 3 came aboard Milky Jones.

The 26-year-old came close to the buzzer in back-to-back rides, being bucked off in 7.65 seconds in Round 4 and falling just 0.01 seconds shy in Round 5.

Throughout the 2018 season, Buttar reached several career highs, including his first 90-point ride on the elite tour in Columbus and a new earnings best, winning just over $111,853.
