Zane Cook and Zane Cook Professional Bull Rider
FRESNO, Cali. –After two action-packed nights inside Fresno, California’s Save Mart Center, Zane Cook (Fort Gibson, Oklahoma) secured his first event win of the 2026 PBR (Professional Bull Riders) Pendleton Whisky Velocity Tour (PWVT) season.
The 32-year-old first put himself on the leaderboard in Round 1 on Friday night when he was paired with Captain, making the 8 for 84.9 points for a third-place finish.
Hoping to hit the gas as he entered Saturday night, Cook was paired with Up and Up. To the California crowds delight, he scored 84.4 points, and the Round 2 win.
Entering the final round for the weekend, the Oklahoma cowboy launched from the chutes aboard July. Unfortunately, he was no match for his powerful bovine partner, hitting the dirt at 2.58 seconds.
For his 2-for-3 weekend, Cook earned 125 Velocity Global points and moved to No. 12 in the Velocity standings.
Velocity Global points contribute to the Velocity Global Standings and determine which new riders are added to the elite Unleash The Beast throughout the season. The Top 3 Velocity Global riders who have not already qualified are also invited to the PBR World Finals in May.
