After two rounds of the Tour Championship, I thought Retief Goosen would take over. Was I ever wrong! Bart Bryant dominated the toughest field in golf by winning the Tour Championship by 6 strokes.
If you asked me 5 days ago who Bryant was I would not have known. He has never made golf headlines that I can recall, but he led the entire tournament and built up a big lead on Sunday afternoon. Goosen started Sunday only 3 strokes back, but quickly fell off the radar. Tiger Woods was 4 strokes back, but couldn’t string anything together. Check out Bryant’s scorecard to see just how dominating of a win it was. He ranked 1st in birdies, eagles, driving accuracy, and greens in regulation. He was also 3rd in putts/GIR, 7th in putts/round, and tied for 13th in sand saves.
The Tour Championship is a field of the top 30 golfers on the PGA Tour money list and I’m really surprised Bryant was even in the list. Who is this guy? Check out his player profile for a few unknown details.
Bart Bryant is one of the reasons I love the game of golf. On any given day, a virtual no-name can dominate the best players in the world.
