Riley O’Rourke hopes to ‘get even’ after successful rookie campaign

Riley O'Rourke had a highly successful rookie year in steer roping, winning Resistol Rookie of the Year in both steer roping and the all-around category. He narrowly missed becoming the PRCA Steer Roping World Champion, finishing second to Cole Patterson after a strong showing at the National Finals Steer Roping. O'Rourke is now determined to "get even" and win a gold buckle in the upcoming season, fueled by his near-miss.
