​Hi, I'm Brinson

I  graduated from Duke University in 2013 with a Bachelors Degree in Psychology. While there, I was a two-time playing All-American as well as a COSIDA/Capital One Academic All-American.  
I received the Byron Nelson Award as the nation's top
graduating senior as well as ACC Scholar Athlete of the Year.  

Immediately afterward, I turned professional and started playing the Challenge Tour.  I tied for second in my pro debut at the Swiss Challenge in Lucerne, Switzerland and won my third tournament, the Le Vaudrueil Challenge in France.  Then, I advanced through Qualifying School in 12th place to earn full status on European Tour. Since then I've competed consistently on PGA Tours in Canada and Latin America. In August of 2020, I Monday Qualified for the Wyndham Championship on
PGA Tour making the cut and playing well on the weekend. 

In the evenings while traveling and competing around the world I studied business through William and Mary's online MBA Program.I graduated in May 2019.

I continue to compete aggressively with a goal of gaining status on PGA Tour!
