Leighton Berry capped an already terrific Texas Swing the only way he knew how - a win.

Berry was 88.5 in the Finals in San Angelo to tie for the title on two-head with rookie Andy Gingerich at 175.5.

In the five Texas Swing rodeos - Fort Worth, San Antonio, Houston, Austin and San Angelo - Berry had three wins and a second place finish. He made about $95,000 at those rodeos alone and for the season.

Through the entire Texas Swing, Berry was 17-for-19 with 12 rides of 85 points or more and an average score of 85.8.

With more than $115,000 earned already this season, Berry is currently No. 1 in the world by about $20,000.
