Austin Richardson was 2 for 2 and leading the event when a collarbone injury sidelined him and ended his weekend.  In what was assumed and reported to be a break Saturday night, X – Rays confirmed this morning and Austin will undergo surgery Wednesday to repair the fracture.  Dr. Tandy Freeman will perform the surgery, and he is confident that Austin will be ready to compete at the World finals.  The event began with him winning round one on the back of 2021 World Champion bull WooPaa with a career best 94.50 points.  He followed that up with a 6^th place finish in round 2 and the event lead.  But it was the awkward dismount from that 2^nd round bull and his contact with the ground which caused the fracture.  Austin finished 3^rd in the event and earned 78.50 world points.  He is currently 7^th in the PBR world standings with 549.50 points.
