More than half the cowboys competing at in the first round of the Madison Square Garden Invitational on Friday night rode their bulls the qualifying eight seconds.

That’s pretty incredible, especially in the Professional Bull Riders’ Built Ford Tough Series, where the riding percentage isn’t near that good most go-rounds.

Douglas Duncan of Alvin, Texas, won the round with an 89.5 on the bull My Space, owned by Dakota Rodeo/Chad Burger/Clay Struve. Duncan now leads the Built Ford tough Series standings. He also pocketed a check worth $3,580.

Not a bad way to start the new year.
