PUNTA CANA, Dominican Republic. (AP) — Wesley Bryan chipped in for eagle early and for birdie late, giving him a 9-under 63 on Thursday for a three-shot lead in the Corales Puntacana Championship, a PGA Tour event held the same week as a place he’d rather be.
Bryan birdied his last two holes to stretch his lead to three shots over five players, a group that includes former PGA Tour winners Charley Hoffman and Troy Merritt, along with tour rookie Parker Coody.
The tournament is held opposite the RBC Heritage, site of Bryan’s only PGA Tour victory. The South Carolina native even took part in Harbour Town’s promotional day last month.
But with injuries to his left shoulder and his wrist, his game has suffered and Bryan has spent more time delivering YouTube content with his brother, George. They first gained fame with their trick shots.
