Brian Harman dominates Open Championship to win 1st-career major

Brian Harman posted a one-under par 70 in the Final Round of The 151st Open Championship at Royal Liverpool Sunday to win the Claret Jug and the first major of his career.

Harman kept it steady through the rain as the field of competitors including past major champions Rory McIlroy and Jon Rahm, as well as Sepp Straka and Jason Day among others, failed to make up much ground. He finished 13-under par for the tournament, six shots ahead of Rahm, Straka, Day and Tom Kim. Harman became the first player since Henry Cotton in 1934 to lead by at least five shots after each of the final three rounds at The Open Championship, per ESPN Stats & Info.

In addition to being his first-ever win in a major, it’s Harman’s first overall win since the Wells Fargo Championship in May 2017. The University of Georgia alum is just the fifth left-handed golfer to win a major, joining Sir Bob Charles, Mike Weir, Phil Mickelson and Bubba Watson.
