01Early life

Bryan attended Dutch Fork High School in Irmo, South Carolina. He played college golf at the University of South Carolina, winning two events.

02Professional career

Bryan played on mini-tours before earning his Web.com Tour card for 2016 by finishing T-9 at qualifying school. In his third event of the 2016 season, he won the Chitimacha Louisiana Open.

On April 16, 2017, Bryan secured his first PGA Tour victory at the RBC Heritage and earned a spot at the 2018 Masters Tournament.
