Local Junior Jonathan Bryan Earns Top Five in US Kids

Local junior Jonathan Bryan placed 4th in a US Kids Golf event Saturday.  This gave him top 5 for the Tour.

Jonathan, 12,  carded a 94 at Mirror Lake Golf Club in Villa Rica, Georgia in the 8th and final event of the US Kids Golf Atlanta Spring Local Tour.  The score was good enough for a 4th place finish in the 12 year-old boys division (there was a 3-way tie for 2nd). 

Saturday's effort gave him enough Tour points to earn top 5 for the Tour out of a total of 18 juniors who participated overall.  In each event Jonathan placed in the top five, with a 3rd place win two weeks earlier.

In each of the four full Tours Jonathan has played in US Kids (dating back to the fall of 2010), he has earned top 5 overall.

Last summer, Jonathan earned Tournament Champion in the 10-11-year-old division in the 2011 Rome Junior Golf Tournament.
