Paul David Tierney is now a three-time Cinch Timed Event Champion and has won a whopping $388,500 in his career at the Ironman of ProRodeo.
Tierney finished the three-day marathon with a time of 322.8 seconds on 25 head worth $100,000, winning second with a 58.7 in Round 2 worth $2,000, third in Round 3 with a 57.9 worth $1,000 and third in Round 5 with a 60.3 worth another $1,000.
“Last year, I got rushed in the heeling, and I took a 60 in the last round ’cause I got rushed,” Tierney, 34, said. “I thought back on what had worked before, and I just stayed true to it the whole time, finally, and it worked out.”
The Oklahoma City man is now the third-highest earner in the 40-year history of the Cinch Timed Event Championship, behind Trevor Brazile and his six titles that paid him a massive $811,000 in his CTEC career. KC Jones, with five titles, has won $493,500.
Tierney, who’s father Paul has four titles—one in 1987, one in 1991, another in 1997 and the last in 2000—winning $153,750 in his nearly three decades of competition.
Paul David had the help of Kollin VonAhn on the heel side, Logan Olson in the heading and Kody Woodward in the hazing. Tierney rode his own head horse, his dad’s stud in the heeling, his calf horse Macaroni in the tie-down, Woodward’s bull dogging horse and a tripping horse from Jate Saults.
