tournament for many years,” says Bryan. “I can’t think of a better
victory than this for my first PGA TOUR win. It makes bringing home the
trophy even more satisfying. I could not have gotten here without my
team, including Skechers Performance. This is a fantastic way to start
our partnership and I look forward to winning even more titles with the
brand.”
