ST. LOUIS -- Brazilian young gun and last season's runner-up in the Professional Bull Riders (PBR) World Championship race, Kaique Pacheco went a perfect 4 for 4 to win the Built Ford Tough Series (BFTS) Bass Pro Chute Out, presented by Cooper Tires, on Sunday afternoon at Scottrade Center.

Pacheco was the only athlete to ride all of his bulls in St. Louis and capped the performance with a masterful 88.75-point ride on Lester Gillis (Folds/Strickland) in the Built Ford Tough Championship Round. Pacheco became the first man to ride Lester Gillis on the BFTS and was the only rider to record a qualified ride in the championship round.

The win is Pacheco's first BFTS event victory since September of last season when he won in Charlotte, North Carolina. Pacheco earned 640 world points and $44,500. He took over the No. 3 spot in the world standings and trails current world leader Eduardo Aparecido by 580 points. Jess Lockwood, who is sidelined with an injury, sits in second place and trails Aparecido by 337.5 points.

Fans can see all the action from Championship Sunday in St. Louis on CBS Sports Network starting at 8 PM ET.

Chase Outlaw led the three-day event heading into Championship Sunday and ultimately landed a second-place finish overall in St. Louis after a 3-for-4 performance. Outlaw rode Mr. Big Stuff (K-C Bucking Bulls) for 85.25 points in Round 3, but was bucked off by Bad Beagle (Jared Allen's Pro Bull Team) in the championship round in 5.04 seconds, opening the door for Pacheco.

Despite the disappointing end, Outlaw still picked up 460 world points and $20,945 to move up to fifth in the world standings.

Missouri native Mason Lowe closed out a 3-for-4 performance in his home state with a third-place finish. Lowe reached eight seconds on Hustle Man (Gene Owen Bucking Bulls) for 84.75 points in Round 3 but went on to be bucked off by Cooper Tires Brown Sugar (Dakota Rodeo/Rosen/Struve/Berger) in 3.12 seconds in the championship round.

Lowe moved to sixth in the world standings and earned a total 317.5 world points and $13,365 over the weekend.

BFTS rookie Cody Rodeo Tyler finished a career-high fourth in St. Louis after going 2 for 4 over the weekend. Tyler turned in an 84.75-point trip aboard Ante Up (K-C Bucking Bulls/TCB Ranch) in Round 3 before eventually being bucked off by Crossfire (Dakota Rodeo/Berger/Struve/H&C Bucking Bulls) in the championship round in 2.73 seconds. Tyler earned 137.5 points toward the world standings along with an $8,125 paycheck and leaves St. Louis the 23rd-ranked bull rider in the world.

Matt Triplett rounded out the top five after he won Round 3 with an 87.25-point ride on Coopers Comet (J.A.R.S. Bucking Bulls/Gene Owen). Triplett later went on to be bucked off by TLW's Big Cat (TLW Bucking Bulls/Kuhn) in 1.71 seconds in the championship round. For the finish, Triplett gained 110 world points and $7,480 and moved himself to 14th in the world standings.

TLW's Big Cat was named the YETI "Built For The Wild" Bull of the Event after recording a 45.75-point bull score for his 1.71 buckoff of Triplett in the championship round.

Guilherme Marchi also took another step towards history in St. Louis when he rode Dirt Road (K-C Bucking Bulls/Josie McElroy/Blythe Cattle Co.) for 81 points in Round 3. The ride was his 589th on the BFTS and leaves him 11 away from becoming the first and only man to reach the 600-ride milestone on the PBR's premier tour.

The world's best bull riders now move east to Jacksonville, Florida, for the Jacksonville Invitational on March 4-5 at Veterans Memorial Arena.

The action in Jacksonville starts at 6:30 PM ET on PBR LIVE and the PBR LIVE app on March 4, with Championship Sunday action starting at 1:30 PM ET on PBR LIVE on March 5. CBS Sports Network will broadcast Championship Sunday from Jacksonville starting at 8 PM ET on March 5.
