Playing as an individual in this event of High School Players from mostly Massachusetts, Connecticut & Rhode Island.
Bryson was the only VT player in the field of @179 players.
He was paired with Ryan Tomaso, Michael Thorbjornsen & Uttdom SowinKong
There was a steady and gusty wind blowing all day but the temperature was decent for April and he got off to a good start and played a nice round of golf shooting a 1 over 73, just 4 shots off the lead.
He had grooved his swing over the winter so it was just a matter of shot selection, judging the wind and of course as with anyone, draining the putts.

For the second round he was paired with Christan Sorenson and Joe Tucker,
Tucker was the leader after day one shooting a 69.
This was a more difficult day than the 1st day, it was drizzly and cooler, and a much stronger wind than day one with occasional strong gust's.
Bryson played pretty steady all day considering, until late in the round when he was in strong contention for the outright lead so on 16 and 17 he had a couple of hiccup's and dropped a couple of shots but managed to regroup for a par on 18 but due to the 2 prior bogie's had allowed himself to fall into a 4 way tie for the lead.
Score Card
So there would have to be a 4 man playoff starting on hole Number 1
between Bryson, Ryan Tomaso, Joe Tucker, and Andrew O'leary.
They tee'd off and all got on the green in regulation and all facing birdie putts, Bryson was away but sometimes thats a good thing because if you make your putt the hole shrinks for the other players involved.
Bryson drained his putt into the heart of the cup, and Ryan Tomaso made his putt, Joe and Andrew both missed and were eliminated.
On to the next hole which was an uphill par 3 with a good stiff breeze blowing, Bryson teed off first and hit a nice iron to about 8 ft, Ryan hit his about 20 ft left of the hole so Ryan was putting first but missed his putt.
Bryson proceeded to drain another solid putt for the victory !!
