Bowls career

[edit]

Brault came to prominence after winning the United States national championship pairs in 2008. He was later selected to represent the United States at the sport's blue riband event, the 2012 World Outdoor Bowls Championship in Adelaide, Australia, where he competed in the triples and fours events.[3]

After winning the national singles in 2015,[4] he represented the United States at the World Singles Champion of Champions[5] and the 2015 Asia Pacific Bowls Championships in New Zealand.

After missing out on selection for the 2020 World Outdoor Bowls Championship, which was cancelled following the COVID-19 pandemic, he returned to the US team to represent them at 2023 World Bowls Championship.[6] He participated in the men's triples and the men's fours events.[7][8] In the triples, his team reached the quarter final before losing to eventual winners Australia.
