He also won aggregate titles in two events at the National Finals Rodeo – tie-down roping (1971) and bull riding (1972). Lyne quickly made a name for himself in the PRCA, winning the 1969 Overall Rookie of the Year and competed in five events – bareback riding, saddle bronc riding, bull riding, tie-down roping, and steer wrestling. In 1971 and 72, Lyne won world titles in both the all-around and tie-down roping. He also captured average titles in tie-down roping and bull riding at the 1972 NFR. Later in his career, Lyne proved what a versatile cowboy he was as he won the average at the 1983 and 1986 National Finals Steer Roping and in 1990, he claimed the PRCA Steer Roping World Championship. bit.ly/3PxpcgN
