POLK COUNTY, FL — PGA Golf Champion, Barton Bryant, of Auburndale was killed Tuesday afternoon in a crash on State Road-33 in Polk City, deputies said.

 

Bryant, 59, died at a local hospital following the crash that occurred just before 12:20 p.m., deputies said.

 

Bryant's wife, Donna Bryant, 49, experienced minor injuries when a black 2011 Ford F-150 pickup truck smashed into the back of their white Volkswagen SUV, deputies said.

 

According to investigators, flaggers waved oncoming cars and trucks to stop in both northbound and southbound traffic on State Road-33 near Flanders State Drive. The Bryants were at the last of the stopped line.

 

A 21-year-old driver of Clermont did not stop and crashed into the Volkswagen, deputies said.

 

The pickup truck driver was uninjured.

 

Deputies said they do not know why the pickup driver did not stop.

 

“The PGA TOUR is saddened by the tragic passing of Bart Bryant and our hearts go out to his family and friends during this difficult time," PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan said. "The Bryants have been a part of the PGA TOUR family for over four decades and we are grateful for the impact and legacy he made on our organization and countless communities. Bart will be dearly missed."

 

Bryant won three events on the PGA Tour, his first coming at the 2004 Valero Texas Open, Bleacher Report said.

 

Bryant turned pro in 1986.
