Whitehorse’s walk-off 90 secures first Ty Murray title

Keyshawn Whitehorse dominated the PBR Albuquerque Ty Murray Invitational, going a perfect 4-for-4 and sealing his first Unleash The Beast event title of 2026 with a walk-off 90-point ride in the final. The victory, which also marked Whitehorse’s first Ty Murray Invitational title, came at The Pit in Albuquerque, New Mexico, during Stop No. 15 of the 2026 PBR Unleash The Beast Series. Whitehorse, a Navajo Nation native from McCracken Spring, Utah, captured the win with a dramatic final ride that clinched the championship.

Whitehorse was the only rider in the arena to post three separate 90-point rides over the three-day competition, underscoring his domination of the field. He captured Round 2 on Saturday with a 90.15-point ride aboard Magic Hunter, entered the finale atop the event leaderboard and then used his 90-point final ride to overtake his remaining competitors and secure the title.

The competition unfolded over a championship-caliber weekend that felt like a World Finals short round, with opening-night draws featuring elite bucking bulls that raised the overall level of competition. Surging performances from Leme and pivotal rides from Kasel helped shape the leaderboard, and coverage of the event presented Whitehorse’s perfect record and win as a long-sought dream fulfilled amid top-tier Unleash The Beast competition.

Whitehorse posts perfect 4-for-4 at Ty Murray Invitational

Whitehorse went a flawless 4-for-4 to capture his first Ty Murray Invitational title at The Pit in Albuquerque. The perfect weekend stood out in a tightened, late-season title race and provided a major boost as riders chased crucial points heading into the World Finals.

The three-day Ty Murray Invitational, Stop No. 15 on the Unleash The Beast Series, carried an expanded points total that magnified the importance of every ride and out. The timing and format gave top contenders a chance to separate themselves and on-the-bubble riders an opportunity to make decisive gains; observers noted performances there were likely to have an outsized impact on who advances to and how riders are seeded for the PBR World Finals in Fort Worth.

The event opened with a draw of elite bucking bulls that raised the level of competition and produced an electric atmosphere inside The Pit. Whitehorse’s perfect run dominated the field, while support performances — including a surge from Leme and pivotal rides from Kasel — helped shape the leaderboard as the tour heads toward the World Finals.
