Bart Bryant – here at Golfbidder, we love yer! Why? Because he gives us old guys hope – in fact he gives anyone hope who has struggled to make a breakthrough in any career – and is a lesson in why never to give up. Poor old Bart had been struggling on tour for almost 20 years, missing cuts and regularly having to return to the Tour Qualifying School to win back his right to miss more cuts. But his perseverance finally paid off when, at the age of 41, he won the Valero Texas Open. Suddenly, everything clicked into place and, incredibly, the following year in 2005 he added the Memorial Tournament and the season-ending Tour Championship - ending up 9th on the US Tour Money list with over $3m in the bank. This was more than he had earned in the previous 18 years! Hats off to you Bart. Our photo of Bart Bryant shows him using his TaylorMade r7 SuperQuad at the PODS Championship at Innisbrook, Palm Harbour, Florida in March 2007 where he finished a creditable 12th – and added another $112,000 to his coffers. |
