Zane Hall has recorded his sixth win of the season at Saturday night's Monster Energy Coffs Harbour Invitational, moving into the No. 1 spot in the 2026 PBR Australia National Standings.
The 2-for-2 showing at the Showgrounds marked the Athol bull rider’s fourth win from six starts over the past 7 weeks, with a total score of 167.90 points and a $6,250 prizemoney payout.
Hall opened his night with a qualified ride aboard debut bull Gyppo (MC Bucking Bulls), finishing fourth in Round 1. The clock was initially stopped at 7.87 seconds, as the bull’s quick spin to the left gradually brought Hall unstuck. A rider challenge confirmed he had made the whistle, and an 81.70-point score was awarded.
The 24-year-old then became the first rider to conquer Road Rage (Dittmann Bucking Bulls), snapping the bull’s 19-out buck-off streak and adding 86.20 points to split the Round 2 win. The bull threw plenty at Hall - faking left, turning back to the right, backing up, and ramping up the intensity late - but couldn’t unseat him.
The performance boosts Hall’s season riding percentage to over 50%, with his recent form line reading 12-from-15 with an average ride score of 84.29 points.

Heywood’s Sam Woodall finished second at the event after he shared the Round 2 win with Hall. His 86.20 points came via BJ (K3F – Farley Bucking Bulls), with the bull backing out and continuing spinning into his hand at the gate.
Kurt Shephard finished in third place. The Mareeba champion responded to the pressure with a gem of a bull ride, matching Maisy Mouse (ST Bucking Bulls) jump for jump, and was marked 85.30 points in the second round.
Rylee Ward also did his job in Round 2, converting Little Scar Maker into 84.80 points. The Kiwi looked in great form, with the bull spinning away from his hand, finishing in fourth place.
The Round 1 win went to Dingo’s Bailey Woodard, whose 84.40-point ride on Mood Swing (Dunne Bulls) secured a top-five event finish.
Willow Tree’s Clint Glass finished second in the opening round, combining with Cohens Tequila (Dittmann Bucking Bulls) for 83.40 points, which placed him sixth overall.
Quirindi cowboy Ashton Sweeney finished seventh with 82.80 points for his ride aboard Holy Poly (MC Bucking Bulls), while Oberon’s Jack Rowlandson continued his solid run of form, finishing eighth with 82.70 points on Last Confession (Maynes Bucking Bulls).
