Wesley and George Bryan made a name for themselves as the trick-shot duo, the Bryan Brothers. However, it was a different kind of teamwork that earned Wesley his first Web.com Tour win on Sunday.
In just his third Web.com Tour start, Wesley won the Chitimacha Louisiana Open, the first Web.com Tour event of the season on U.S. soil, by a shot with his brother George on the bag.
After a weather-plagued week, Bryan put the finishing touches on a final round of 3-under 68 that left him with a nervous wait to see if his total would hold up for the win. The 14-under total was enough for a one-shot win over Argentinian Julian Etulian.
“Dude I’m not going to lie. I went over to the range to prepare for a playoff and I was 55 times more nervous over there when the ball was out of my court and I had no control over the situation,” Bryan said. “That was a super weird feeling. I’m super relieved I guess would be the word.”
George himself had hoped to play in the event, but came up just a shot shy in Monday qualifying.
The 25-year-old Wesley, who calls Augusta, Ga., home, moved up to third on the Web.com Tour money list.
