GUYMON, Okla. – The Pioneer Days Rodeo committee continues to roll with the punches.

After a winter storm delayed the start of competition until Tuesday, steer ropers concluded three go-rounds. The committee, working with the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association, opted to keep the four-round format. The final round is scheduled to begin at 8 a.m. Wednesday.

The first rounds of the other three men’s timed events – steer wrestling, team roping and tie-down roping – is scheduled to begin directly after.

In Tuesday’s delayed start to the rodeo, Brian Garr of Belle Fourche, S.D., owns the lead with a three-run cumulative time of 41.0 seconds. That’s nearly two seconds faster than the runner-up, Shay Good of Midland, Texas. But it will come down to Wednesday’s final few rounds to decide the first champion of this year’s Pioneer Days Rodeo.
