At South Carolina, Bryan was named the team MVP for his senior season and finished sixth in school history career stroke averages. In his senior season, he was the team’s No.1 player in 11 of their 12 matches and finished 17th in the SEC with 72.47 stroke average. Bryan finished 13th in the SEC Championship in his senior season.

Bryan now has a FedEx Cup ranking of 59 after finishing the 2016 season with a ranking of 196.
