Meanwhile, Berry was an excellent golfer, as he had a handicap of 2. And one day, they set up a match of nine holes, with Berry getting a shot on each hole. This sounds crazy, as Bryson’s friend had a handicap of 2, which means he was almost a scratch golfer. But the young Bryson challenged him with firm determination. 

“So I birdie the first three holes, said Bryson. He pars each of them, and we’re even. I eagle No. 4 and par 5, then birdied 6, 7, 8, and 9 to shoot a 27. I had a 4-iron into the last hole and hit it to a foot. I played the best I possibly could.”

“He shoots 37, bogeys the last hole, and I beat him by one. He had to give me a Reese’s afterward. That was the bet.” Moreover, he said, “That’s when I knew I could do it. That’s when I knew I could play out here, that I had the you-know-what that it takes to play out here.”

Currently, Bryson is one of the top players on the Tour, and he will be making a comeback to competitive golf at the Hero World Challenge 2021 in the Bahamas.
