Dean Gorsuch did exactly what he had to in the 10th and last round of the National Finals Rodeo on Saturday night.

The steer wrestler from Gering, Neb., turfed his steer in 3.6 seconds to placed second in the round and lock up the NFR aggregate, giving him his first Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association world championship.

Gorsuch, 27, competing in his second NFR, made the pressure run to move ahead of 2004 world champ Luke Branquinho for the title.

"This means the world to me," said Gorsuch, whose hazer was Rodney Burk. "You can't imagine how much (it means) ... I mean second to the birth of my son. My little boy will have a dream one of these days to be a world champion. It's awesome to finally accomplish that dream."

A missed steer in the fifth round kept Branquinho from completing his comeback after he missed much of the 2005 season with a torn pectoral muscle.

• ALL-AROUND -- Trevor Brazile didn't win any go-round money in the last round, but in the aggregate standings he finished the year third in calf roping and 14th in team roping. He finished the Finals with $63,828 to further extend his single-season earnings record in all-around to $329,923.

Joe Beaver finished second all-around with $259,540, including $127,914 in the Finals.

• BAREBACK RIDING -- Bobby Mote of Culver, Ore.; Forest Bramwell of Pagosa Springs, Colo; and Kelly Timberman of Mills, Wyo., each scored 85.5 to tie for first in the go-round.

Mote rode Calgary Stampede's Grated Coconut, Bramwell was on Bar T Rodeo's Tiger Lilly and Timberman covered Class Pro Rodeo's Fancy Free.

Will Lowe, who clinched his third world title in four years Thursday, placed fourth in the round and locked up the aggregate title. He finished the season with a record $280,226 in the category.

"I felt I drew better than anyone else," the cowboy from Canyon, Texas, said of his pairings with bucking horses. "I plucked the really good ones each night."

• STEER WRESTLING -- K.C. Jones won his first go-round by turfing his steer in 3.5 seconds, finishing fourth in the world.

• TEAM ROPING -- Beaver and heeler Cole Bigbee of Stephenville, Texas, won their first go-round of the Finals and shared first in another.

Allen Bach of Weatherford, Texas, and Chad Masters of Clarksville, Tenn., were first in the aggregate to give Bach the world championship, while Masters finished the year second after starting the NFR 15th in the standings.

Matt Sherwood of Queen Creek, Ariz., won the world title for headers.

Logandale brothers Jason and Randon Adams caught their steer in 4.4 seconds, but placed one spot outside the money. They won a total of $20,156 each in the Finals and finished the year 15th in the world.

• SADDLE BRONC RIDING -- South Dakota cowboys Jesse Bail of Camp Crook and Bryce Miller of Buffalo each were scored 89 to tie for first in the go-round. Bail rode Wayne Vold Rodeo's MF4 and Miller was on Kesler Championship Rodeos' Cool Alley.

Chad Ferley of Oelrichs, S.D., placed third in the round to finish second in aggregate to go with the world championship, which he won Friday.

Ferley, 26, was competing in his first NFR and it couldn't have gone better. He won $94,320 in the Finals to finish the year with $237,582.

"I never, ever imagined this is where I would be," he said of the championship. "Finally, I didn't get hurt."

J.J. Elshere of Quinn, S.D., won the aggregate.

• CALF ROPING -- Cody Ohl of Hico, Texas, pulled the trifecta in the 10th round: he tied for first in the round and won the aggregate title a day after clinching his fifth calf roping world title. Ohl and Scott Kormos of Teague, Texas, each tied their calf in 7.5 seconds.

Ohl won one round and shared first in two others to earn $132,652 in the Finals and finish the season with $298,111, shattering the calf roping season record by Fred Whitfield with $237,638 in 2004.

Las Vegas resident and native of Chubbock, Idaho, finished out of the money Saturday, but placed second in the aggregate to earn a $33,335 bonus that put him second in the world standings with $159,070.

• BARREL RACING -- Mary Burger of Pauls Valley, Okla., placed second in the round to lock up the aggregate title and her first world championship. Burger, 58, finished the Finals by winning $78,557 and the year with $189,185.

Brittany Pozzi of Victoria, Texas, entered the Finals as the top money winner and gave it a valiant try by placing sixth in the last go-round and won the aggregate title.

She finished nine-hundredths out of fourth place, and a fourth-place finish would have given her the world championship.

• BULL RIDING -- B.J. Schumacher capped a phenomenal NFR by winning the round with a score of 92.5 on Growney Brothers' Cash Prize. He was one of only two cowboys to complete their rides.

Schumacher left with the aggregate title, his first world championship and an official total of $248,081.

Schumacher set the record for most won at a rodeo with an NFR total of $142,644, which does not ground money.
