After finishing tied for sixth at the previous World Wide Technology Championship, Bryan is now aiming for a strong finish in Bermuda to keep his FedExCup aspirations alive. “Nobody knows when a 61 will happen; it’s just a career day,” Bryan shared. “Hopefully, I’ll get into the mix tomorrow on the back nine. That’s the ultimate goal.”
Balancing Family, Digital Content, and Golf
Off the course, Bryan and his brother George Bryan have garnered a significant following with their YouTube channel, which boasts over 450,000 subscribers. Although family travel has slowed, Bryan cherishes the bonds he’s built on the PGA TOUR.
