ANAHEIM, Calif. — Macaulie Leather didn’t just put up the biggest number of the night Friday at Honda Center. He delivered the highest-marked ride of the 2026 PBR Teams season—and helped push the Missouri Thunder into the No. 1 spot in the standings.

Riding King Tut in the fourth frame against the Carolina Cowboys, Leather stayed aboard for 93.35 points, giving Missouri the decisive score in a 272.65-89.5 victory.
The ride was Leather’s fourth 90-point performance of the season and the highest-scored ride of his premier-level career.
Missouri had already started strong. Paulo Eduardo Rossetto opened the game with 90.75 points on Fury, extending his ride streak to 11 consecutive games. Carolina answered with Thiago Salgado’s 89.5-point ride on King Cobra, but the Cowboys would not post another score.
Then Leather changed the temperature in the building.
Ednélio Rodrigues added 88.55 points on Dirty Honey after entering on a re-ride opportunity, giving Missouri three qualified rides and another win over one of the league’s top teams.
The victory moved the Thunder to 12-6, tied with the Nashville Stampede for the league’s best record. Missouri holds the top position on the standings tiebreaker, with 3,809.9 aggregate points compared with Nashville’s 3,803.75.
For Leather, however, Friday night belonged to one number.
93.35.
In a season already filled with big rides, the Australian bull rider raised the bar in Anaheim—and gave the Missouri Thunder exactly the kind of momentum a first-place team needs.
