Wesley Bryan wins 2nd Web.com Tour event in last three starts

It took Wesley Bryan but just six starts to guarantee he’ll have a spot on the 2016-17 PGA Tour.

Bryan, one half of a viral trick-shot duo with his brother George, won the El Bosque Mexico Championship on Sunday for his second Web.com Tour win in the first six events of the season. 

With a closing 5-under 67 at El Bosque C.C., Bryan won by four shots over Richy Werenski and last week’s winner Brad Fritsch with a 19-under 269 total. Fritsch started the final round in the lead at 16 under par, but shot 1-over 73 on the final day in search of a second consecutive win. Nonetheless, the split second-place money should be enough to also assure him a spot on the 2016-17 PGA Tour as one of the top 25 players on the Web.com Tour’s season-ending money list.

For his second Web.com Tour win, Bryan didn’t have his brother on the bag as he did when he won the Chitimacha Lousiana Open. Rather, he had Callaway Golf social media director Chad Coleman on the bag, influenced, in part, by a conversation on social media. No word if Coleman will get the customary caddie’s 10 percent for a win. If he does? Coleman pockets $ 11,700 of the $ 117,000 Bryan gets for the victory.

If Bryan can manage a third Web.com Tour win this season, he’ll earn what was once called the Battlefield Promotion, instantly picking up PGA Tour status.
