Bryan was disqualified at December's Alps Tour Q-School for inadvertently using a rangefinder in the first round at La Cala Resort.
But he could not have been more pleased to win, commenting on his Facebook account: "Nice to get the job done for my first professional win and always nice to see some good results from grinding away at it."
