Kevin Na, notoriously known as one of the slower players on tour, shot 70 in under 2 hours at last year’s Tour Championship had shared a comment on Bryan’s feat.
“I’ll tell you what – nobody’s going to break that record shooting even par or better,”
“If you go ahead and quick-hit it, yeah, you’ll break it.”
