Kaique Pacheco was excused from the St. Louis event and he travelled back to Brazil to attend his now fiancé’s medical school graduation. He popped the question last week … and she said yes!

Kaique Pacheco finished third in the World Finals event, and Reserve PBR World Champion to eventual winner D. Swearingen in one of the most highly contested PBR World Championships in recent memory. Kaique rode 5 of 8 bulls, highlighted by a 4th in Rd.’s 2 & 3, a 1st in round 4, and top 7 finishes in Rd.’s 6 & 7. His event championship round buck off would prove to be the costliest of the season, where IF he had ridden for at least 91.25 points (and he had plenty of bull to score 91+) he would have elevated himself to the World Standings Lead, and force Swearingen to cover his last attempt. But it was not meant to be and Kaique finished second in the world standings for the fourth time (2022 – 21, 2015 – 16). If you remove Pacheco’s 2019 injury plagued season in which he finished 79th, from 2015 to 2022 his average season finish is a remarkable 2.8!
