After three rounds, Bryan is tied for eighth place at 4-under, showcasing a renewed love for the game as he reflects on his career trajectory.

Bryan, who also co-runs the popular YouTube channel Bryan Bros, opened up about his mindset during the tournament’s press conference. “There’s a little bit of freedom that I’ve been playing with,” Bryan said. “Knowing that my playing time on the Tour is for sure coming to an end at some point, and the trajectory of the YouTube channel, which is going great, I’ve kind of found a new passion and love for the game in a way I never saw coming.”
