Brian Harman Wins British Open at Royal Liverpool, Claiming His First Major Championship Title

Brian Harman has won the British Open at Royal Liverpool, claiming his first major championship title. Harman, 36, closed with a 1-under 70, making an 8-foot par putt on the last hole for a six-shot victory. He is the oldest first-time major winner since Sergio Garcia was 37 when he won the Masters in 2017.

Harman had gone 167 tournaments over six years since his last win in the 2017 Wells Fargo Championship. Despite the long wait, Harman was never seriously in doubt at Royal Liverpool, responding to a rare bogey with back-to-back birdies and leaving everyone else playing for second.

Harman is the 15th American to win the Open in the last 20 years. He is the first left-hander to win a major since Phil Mickelson won the 2013 Open Championship. He is also the first left-hander to win the British Open since Bob Charles in 1963.

Harman’s victory is a testament to his resilience and determination. After years of hard work and dedication, he has finally achieved his dream of becoming a major champion. He is an inspiration to all aspiring golfers and a reminder that hard work and perseverance can pay off.
