Their are quick ascensions in the world of golf, and then there is Wesley Bryan. The PGA Tour rookie and South Carolina native went from an unknown in professional competitive golf just over a year ago to a PGA Tour winner, top 40 player and 2018 Masters invitee in the span of 16 months.

Bryan won the RBC Heritage in South Carolina on Sunday by one stroke over Luke Donald after firing a final-round 67 that included a 33 on the back nine. He had two straightforward putts on the final hole for what he knew would be the win even though there were still golfers in the course when he finished.

So he was denied a proper celebration, but Bryan did not sound like a man who cared much about that at all.

"This is as good as it gets," said Bryan. "It's one that I grew up dreaming on the practice green late at night when I was a kid, like this putt's to win the Heritage. And to get it done here is one of the coolest experiences ever."

Bryan made just two bogeys in the final 54 holes at Harbour Town and finished second in the field in strokes gained on approach shots. For all the attention his putter gets -- and rightfully so -- it was ball-striking that won him this golf tournament. Well, that and scrambling. 

"I hit a lot of really, really bad shots out there," said Bryan, who made just five bogeys on the week. "Even today, I hit some of the worst I've hit in a long time. But was able to stay composed and had a couple good up-and-downs for bogeys this week. They're going to be bogeys on the scorecard, but they were kind of the momentum keepers, so to speak."

Bryan was a three-time winner on the Web.com Tour last year before getting his PGA Tour card with that third win. Now, in just his 18th start on the big-boy circuit, he has once again entered the winner's circle. 

"Will Farrell said it best, '[That] escalated quickly,'" said Bryan when asked about his meteoric rise. "Honestly, I've got no idea. It's still kind of surreal. Maybe one day I'll wake up and kind of realize what's gone on the last, I don't know, 15 months or so."

Here's to hoping he doesn't. The affable Wesley and his brother George were emailing me trick shot videos less than three years ago. Really, I still have the emails. This is what they became known for before their success in the professional ranks.

They both played golf at South Carolina (George was the All-American there) and were carving out a nice niche for themselves (and a little bit of cash) by becoming YouTube sensations with their trick shots as they tried to make it professionally. 

Wesley qualified for the Web.com Tour at the end of 2015 at Q-School. From there, it was three wins and a jump to the PGA Tour. And now here he is -- a PGA Tour winner and a Masters invitee. 

Despite all the attention Bryan has received along the way, he still told CBS Sports' Nick Faldo and Jim Nantz he could not have been more nervous on the final two holes. 

"I wasn't nervous at all all day," said Bryan. "Then on No. 17 I got up and honestly just threw up a little bit in my mouth and was like, 'Shoot, I guess this is what nervous feels like.' That's how it went down."

How it also went down is that Bryan went from underground golf star to PGA Tour champion with an incredibly bright future ahead of him. On Sunday in Hilton Head, he rocked a blue shirt with pink pants and was asked if he thought the red tartan jacket given to the winner would look solid with those pink pants. 

"I think it's going to look terrible," said Bryan. "But I'm going to still be cheesing ear to ear." Grade: A+

Here are the rest of our grades for the RBC Heritage.

Jason Dufner (T11): Big Duf shot a 76 on Sunday after playing his way into the final pairing. He made just one birdie and played the final 16 holes in 6 over. He lost four strokes to the field with his putter. This sums it up. Still, it was another solid overall week from Dufner. He now has four top 15s in his last seven events and is looking more like the Dufner of old. Grade: B+

Ian Poulter (T11): Everybody's favorite Ryder Cup golfer needed to be one stroke better to keep his PGA Tour card. Poulter is playing on a major medical exemption and came up $30,000 short of what he needed to make to keep the card. He'll have one more opportunity to retain his card next week at the Valero Texas Open where he will have to finish around T30 to keep his status. Otherwise, it could be back to the European Tour or Web.com Tour for Poulter. Grade: A-

Luke Donald (2nd): The Englishman finished in the top three for the seventh (!) time here in nine tries, and yet he still does not have a win. That's almost impossible to do. Donald was undone by an early double bogey, but this was still a good outing for him. The former No. 1 player in the world did not have a top 10 coming into this week's event. Grade: A
