Bryant's lightning in a bottle uncorks hole-in-one
The American entertained the fans at Golfclub Munchen Eichenried when he recorded the 12th hole-in-one of the DP World Tour season with an ace at the 166-yard par-three 12th, his third hole, en route to his brilliant 63.
He added nine birdies and two bogeys to set the halfway target of 12 under par, moving two clear of Norway's Kristoffer Reitan.
"I don't really know what happened today. I think the ace kind of jumpstarted things," Bryant said.
"I don't feel like I've played my best golf since Q school to be honest. I had some time off over the holidays, played some HotelPlanner Tour events to start the year and feel like my game is starting to get back to where I want it to be.
"Just super pleased with last week's finish, the first two rounds here and then today, catching lightning in a bottle and just rolling with it.
"Not really thinking too far ahead. Everyone in the field can win this event. We've still got two rounds to go."
Reitan rolled in seven birdies in his flawless 65, while English pair Jordan Smith and Daniel Brown sit at nine under alongside Japan's Yuto Katsuragawa.
Scotland's Scott Jamieson is one shot further back in a tie for sixth, but defending champion Ewen Ferguson missed the cut by one shot despite a four-under 68 on Friday.
Australia's Elvis Smylie is on 139 after going round in an eye-catching 66. Compatriot Daniel Gale is on 142. David Micheluzzi, two shots further back, missed the cut.

Report – Inter Milan Strike Partners Make Peace After Public Outburst Causes Tension
Inter Milan strikers Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram have 'made peace' after some tensions caused by the captain's public outburst. This according to today's print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews. They report that the pair have messaged each other to get back on the same page. Advertisement Inter Milan captain Lautaro Martinez made plenty of waves with comments he made last week. Speaking frankly after Inter's Club World Cup exit against Fluminense, the Argentine implored 'whoever wants to leave, leave.' This was a thinly-veiled dig at teammate Hakan Calhanoglu. However, the Turk was not the only player in the Inter squad who took Martinez's words harshly. Lautaro & Thuram 'Make Peace' After Public Outburst Causes Tension MUNICH, GERMANY – MAY 31: Marcus Thuram of FC Internazionale looks on during the UEFA Champions League Final 2025 between Paris Saint-Germain and FC Internazionale Milano at Munich Football Arena on May 31, 2025 in Munich, Germany. (Photo by) It is no secret that Martinez's strike partner Marcus Thuram also did not respond well to the way that Martinez spoke about the team after last week's loss to Fluminense. Advertisement Most notably, the Frenchman liked a social media response by Calhanoglu calling Martinez's comments 'divisive.' That brought about worry that there could be a rift between Martinez and Thuram. It might be manageable to have bad blood just between Martinez and Calhanoglu. Particularly if the latter is set for an exit. However, Inter certainly do not want to see the personal relationship between Martinez and Thuram deteriorate. After a team meeting with coach Cristian Chivu in midweek, Martinez and Thuram reportedly spoke directly and shared a coffee before leaving for their respective vacations. That was a sign that the two strikers were starting to mend fences. Advertisement Furthermore, according to the Gazzetta, the Argentine and French internationals have been messaging each other on their respective vacations. The aim of these messages has been to 'make peace.' Obviously, there are still some hurt feelings. Both players are frustrate after the horror-show manner in which Inter's season ended. However, Martinez and Thuram have found common ground. Both are determined to have a better season with Inter next time out.
