Brian Harman absolutely hammered the field at Royal Liverpool, winning by 6 strokes (-13). The win launched Harman to #10 in the Official World Golf Rankings, his first time entering the Top 10 in his career. Harman's Open win showcased his resilience and mental strength, overcoming hecklers and detractors.
After his second straight bogey on Saturday, Harman recalls hecklers yelling at him and he says he used their words to push through, telling himself, “I’m good enough to do this - I’m going to do this”. His determination and skill led to a stellar performance, leading him to his first major victory.
