SCOTT GUENTHNER CLOVIS RODEO 4.0
Guenthner got to make a trip to his home country of Canada where he won round three of his pool with a 5.1 but before he headed north, he picked up nice checks at the Belt PRCA Rodeo (Montana), West of the Pecos Rodeo (Texas) and the Greeley Stampede (Colorado). Between those three rodeos, Guenthner added $4,571 to 2021 season earnings.
At the end of the season Guenthner hit a hot streak in the northern states. At the Kitsap Stampede (Washington), he was a 3.9 to be third and win almost $2,798. He went onto the Gem State Stampede (Idaho) where he won $2,294 after being a 4.1 to be second. He topped it off with the Magic Valley Stampede (Idaho) and a 3.8 to be third and collect $3,553.
Guenthner has placed in 12 NFR rounds and he has won two. He is behind No. 1 Jacob Talley ($117,256) by $42,303 but at the Wrangler NFR, $40,000 is not much.
