Bryan, caddie playing home game in first Masters
AUGUSTA, Ga. Its been a long 51 weeks for Wesley Bryan.The Augusta resident via Columbia, S.C., earned his first trip to the Masters with his victory at last years RBC Heritage, which was played the week after the 2017 Masters, and hes had just one thing on his mind ever since.Actually, its been on his mind since he picked up a golf club and learned the game essentially in the shadow of golfs greatest cathedral. He first attended the Masters in 1996 as a 6-year-old when his father gave him $20 for food for the day.I would spend it all up before noon on pimento cheese and egg salad sandwiches, and I would have to go walking back just to ask him for a little dessert money, he laughed on Monday.Bryans connection to Augusta National goes beyond the normal affinity players enjoy for the home of the Masters.
