San Antonio, TX (March 16, 2009) - The day began at the 27th Annual George Strait Team Roping Classic with the King of Country welcoming fans, thanking sponsors and introducing the Top 50 teams who would be competing for over $650,000 in cash and prizes including two Chevy Silverado Trucks provided by Cavender Chevrolet of Boerne, TX, two Strait X-treme 3-horse slant trailers by Bruton, Twister saddles and Gist Buckles.
The day came to an end with Header Chad Masters and Heeler Jade Corkill taking the coveted top position after roping a steer in 4.96 seconds. Corkill tried to beat that time as he roped the final steer of the day with Header Brandon Beers but with 5.43 seconds slipped into second place. Masters who also entered the classic multiple times with other partners placed 4th with Heeler Michael Jones and Corkill placed 6th with Header Jake Cooper.
Chad Masters, the 2007 World Champion Header originally from Tennessee finished 1st and 4th while his winning partner twenty-two year old Jade Corkill from Nevada finished 1st, 2nd and 6th. Masters and Corkill also roped a red wrapped steer to win an additional $10,000 each and placed in 1st and 2nd go-rounds on Friday's event. Total earnings for Masters was $125,493 and total for Corkill was $152,193.
"I want to thank George Strait and everyone who is a part of this event," said Masters. "I'm trying not to tear up."
"This deal here definitely makes your whole year!" admits Corkill, whose ride had left earlier for the next event. "I had planned to hitch a ride but now I have a new truck and trailer!"
