Wesley Bryan competed in the Monday Qualifiers for the PGA Tour’s Sanderson Farms Championship, but his task was made harder by a four-stroke penalty as he had 15 clubs in his bag – one over the maximum permitted.
The 2017 RBC Heritage winner had been hoping to make the field for this week’s event at the Country Club of Jackson, but while he was battling for one of the four qualifying spots, a video posted to Twitter by the PGA Tour shows he had two 7-irons. A quick club count by his caddie confirmed there were, in fact, 15 clubs in his bag, meaning Bryan’s attempt to qualify immediately became harder.
However, far from being downbeat about the revelation, Bryan took the news in excellent spirits, laughing about his misfortune before saying: “You can go ahead and add four to my score, boys!” Bryan then prepared for his tee shot but not before saying: “Can you imagine if we were like 4 or 5-under at this point?” He then played a shot that left him distinctly unimpressed. The 32-year-old responded by saying: “Maybe I should have hit the other 7-iron.”

Bryan wasn’t the only person to see the funny side of the incident. One of the replies to the video came from his brother, George, posting under the name of the popular YouTube channel the siblings host, Bryan Bros Golf, who took a lighthearted dig at his brother and the caddie:
Hahahaahah fire the caddy!!! Typical crashkins 😂😂(To be fair Matt(crashkins) WD after 10 holes then came out to caddy for Wesley. So it was 100% on my smart brother!)September 26, 2022
It’s not the first time Bryan has made headlines for unusual incidents on the course. In March, he made the cut in the Valspar Championship after hitting a shot while on his knees, while in 2017 he broke the PGA Tour record for the fastest round,…
