Now, they&#8217;re making up for lost time in a big way.<br \/>\nThe pair won their second round in three nights during Round 3 action at the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo presented by Polaris RANGER with a 4.0-second time.<br \/>\nIn 2014, Tsinigine and Motes didn&#8217;t start roping together until the spring, and as a result, Tsinigine roped with seven-time World Champion Team Roper and ProRodeo Hall of Famer Clay O&#8217;Brien Cooper at the WNFR.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I watched the first five rounds from home last year,&#8221; said Motes, who&#8217;s making his fourth WNFR trip this year. &#8220;It was upsetting not to be here, but all my friends were competing out here. So I flew out here to be with all my friends. I told Aaron I was going to show him how to get to the South Point (for the nightly go-round buckle presentations), and he won the first round (with O&#8217;Brien Cooper) after I got here in Round 6 last year.&#8221;<br \/>\nThis year, Tsinigine and Motes are spending quite a bit of time at the South Point together. They won Round 1 with a time of 4.1 seconds, and now will receive another pair of go-round buckles.<br \/>\n&#8220;Two out of three rounds is everything I&#8217;ve always dreamed of,&#8221; Tsinigine said. &#8220;Winning two out of the first three rounds blows the roof off for me. It&#8217;s what I was pretending to do when I was a little kid roping the dummy. I was roping at the NFR, and I was winning rounds. This is fun, and so far so good. But the main thing is I&#8217;m going to try and catch 10 head here.&#8221;<br \/>\nThe team has moved from fifth to second in the world standings, and trails the two-time defending world champion duo of Clay Tryan and Jade Corkill by less than $9,000.<br \/>\n&#8220;It&#8217;s always good to get off to a good start,&#8221; Motes said. &#8220;The first round was great, now this. Aaron said he was going to back off a little tonight to try to stay in the average. But he got a good start, and he just couldn&#8217;t help himself. He stuck it on him good, and it was easy heeling back there.&#8221;<br \/>\nBareback rider Steven Peebles also came to Las Vegas on a mission, and through three rounds he&#8217;s accomplishing it.<br \/>\nFor the second night in a row, Peebles took the victory lap. This time, it was after an 86.5-point ride on Andrews Rodeo&#8217;s Cool Water.<br \/>\n&#8220;I feel awesome, mentally and physically,&#8221; he said. &#8220;After riding through pain all season and barely making it into the Finals, to be able to do all of this has me speechless. I&#8217;m trying not to overthink it, and don&#8217;t want to change a thing. I want to keep spurring every horse jump-for-jump until this is over.&#8221;<br \/>\nIt was the second time in three years Peebles won Round 3, as he did the same in 2013. He&#8217;s earned a check all three nights, and now has a total of $71,875 in WNFR earnings this year. He&#8217;s moved to within $7,000 of world standings leader Kaycee Feild and is first in the WNFR average race.<br \/>\n&#8220;People asked me before I got here if I thought I had a chance coming in 14th, and I really wanted to come in here the first few rounds and be able to win and get caught up to Kaycee,&#8221; Peebles said. &#8220;I wanted to be caught up by the middle of the rodeo and have a clean slate, so this feels great.&#8221;<br \/>\nThe win also moved Peebles to the top of the RAM Top Gun standings, the award which goes to the competitor who earns the most money in a single event during the 10 nights of the WNFR. He leads barrel racer Cassidy Kruse by $8,144 for the RAM Bighorn 3500 Cummins Diesel truck that goes to the winner.<br \/>\nIt was a big night for tie-down roper Tyson Durfey and his wife, country musician Shea Fisher-Durfey.<br \/>\nAfter Shea sang during the opening of the rodeo, Tyson went out and split the round win with Caleb Smidt when both posted a time of 7.5 seconds.<br \/>\n&#8220;It&#8217;s a blessing,&#8221; Tyson said. &#8220;I get more nervous when she performs than when I actually compete. When I&#8217;m watching her, my hands are sweating, but what a blessed night this was.&#8221;<br \/>\nShea says if there&#8217;s a correlation between her singing and her husband winning, she&#8217;d like to be invited back more often.<br \/>\n&#8220;It couldn&#8217;t get any better,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I knew he was going to be good today. If he keeps winning rounds when I sing, I should be singing every night.&#8221;<br \/>\nFor Smidt, the win was big for his pursuit of a world title, as he moved to sixth in the world standings and is now tied for third in the WNFR average race.<br \/>\nHowever, he&#8217;s happy just to be competing in Las Vegas after he dislocated his ankle and broke his tibia and fibula in three spots in May 2014 during a steer wrestling mishap in the practice pen. He missed the majority of the 2014 season, but has come back in a big way this year.<br \/>\n&#8220;I never expected to be here at this time after that kind injury,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I thought it was career-ending for me. I had great doctors, great surgeons and therapy, and it brought me back to where I was. It dang sure made me more determined and put me back in my place where I need to be, and I&#8217;m going to keep trying and never give up.&#8221;<br \/>\nClayton Hass entered the WNFR the leader in the steer wrestling world standings, but failed to earn a check in either of the first two rounds, falling all the way to sixth.<br \/>\nHowever, he rebounded in a big way Saturday night when he grabbed the round win and $26,231 with a 3.6-second run.<br \/>\n&#8220;It was awesome, so hopefully I can kind of get on a roll here and break the ice and win a little bit of money and keep bearing down every night,&#8221; the Terrell, Texas, cowboy said.<br \/>\nMaking it even better was the fact that his traveling partner and friend Ty Erickson took second in the round with a 3.8-second time. With the $20,731 he earned, Erickson moved to the top of the world standings &#8211; the third different world standings leader in as many nights.<br \/>\n&#8220;Ty and I rodeoed all year together and pushed each other to do better and win,&#8221; Hass said. &#8220;It didn&#8217;t matter if he won first and I won second, or if I won first and he won second, we were tickled to death about tonight.&#8221;<br \/>\nHass moved back up to third in the standings, and trails his buddy by less than $12,000.<br \/>\nCody Teel, the 2012 world champion bull rider and 2013 WNFR average winner, is the only bull rider with two qualified rides after the first three nights.<br \/>\nHe covered Pete Carr&#8217;s Classic Pro Rodeo&#8217;s Lineman for 86.5 points, and not only earned a big check, but some revenge.<br \/>\n&#8220;He bucked me off in Round 10 last year, so this feels really good,&#8221; Teel said. &#8220;I&#8217;ve had good luck with him; I&#8217;ve been 90 on him to win Lovington (N.M.) in 2014 and was 85 in the short go at Cheyenne (Wyo. Frontier Days) in 2012 and got a nice check.&#8221;<br \/>\nIn his quest for another gold buckle, Teel now leads the average with 164.5 points on two head &#8211; he took third in Round 1. He&#8217;s third in the world standings.<br \/>\n&#8220;With all the added money here, it really doesn&#8217;t matter where you are until the end, and I won&#8217;t look at the standings until then,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I&#8217;ll just try to stay focused and show up every night.&#8221;<br \/>\nThe first two rounds of the WNFR didn&#8217;t go the way barrel racer Taylor Jacob would&#8217;ve liked. She knocked barrels over both nights and failed to earn a check. However, it all turned around Saturday. Jacob maneuvered around all three barrels and clocked a winning time of 13.77 seconds on her horse, Bo.<br \/>\n&#8220;Well, I got around them all so that was the best thing about tonight,&#8221; she said. &#8220;Actually, I haven&#8217;t been worried even with the barrels that went down. I knew that Bo was feeling good in those first two runs and working it as hard as he could, so I knew it would come around.&#8221;<br \/>\nJacob is currently 13th in the WNFR average, and now is hoping to collect as much money as she can each night.<br \/>\n&#8220;I am just going for go-round checks and I&#8217;ll have to let the average take care of itself,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I knew what the rounds paid when I came, and I have a total amount in my head for what I think I can win here.&#8221;<br \/>\nFive-time Reserve World Champion Cody DeMoss retook the world standings lead in the saddle bronc riding Saturday night with a round win thanks to an 84-point ride on Summit Pro Rodeo&#8217;s Big Fork.<br \/>\nDeMoss and Jacobs Crawley &#8211; who was second in Round 3 &#8211; are the only two saddle bronc riders to earn checks in all three rounds so far. DeMoss&#8217; lead is roughly $6,000 over Crawley.<br \/>\n&#8220;It feels pretty good,&#8221; DeMoss said. &#8220;I&#8217;m back to turning it loose and having fun. My brother (Heith) and I were together tonight, and that&#8217;s a great thing.&#8221;<br \/>\nThe 57th annual Wrangler NFR continues Sunday with the fourth round at the Thomas &amp; Mack Center.
