In front of a sold-out crowd inside the Nutrien Western Event Centre, three-time Glen Keeley Award winner Dakota Buttar delivered a flawless 3-for-3 performance to capture his career-first PBR Canada Monster Energy Tour event win, victorious at the Calgary Classic.

Marking the season-launch event for the 2020 season, Buttar began his march to victory when he recorded the fourth-best score of Round 1, logging an 85.5-point ride aboard Scarecrow.

In Round 2, Buttar then faced a familiar opponent.

Drawing Mish Mash, the Saskatchewan man had previously ridden the bovine athlete to a Round 1 win at the 2019 PBR Canada Finals, scored 86 points.

In Calgary, Buttar again reached the 8-second whistle, this time marked 85.5 points.

Sitting atop the aggregate entering the championship round, Buttar architected his second rematch of the night, drafting two-time PBR World Finals selection Tykro Pound Sand for the championship round.

Bringing the record-setting crowd to its feet, Buttar recorded an 87.5-point ride to cement his victory.

Courtesy of the win, the four-time PBR World Finals qualifier earned $5,373.70, in addition to 535 Canadian and 30 world points.

Remaining the No. 1-ranked rider in the nation, Buttar extended his lead atop the Canadian standings, now 582.5 points in front of No. 2 Brock Radford of De Winton, Alberta.
