Brian Harman has only 1 concern while watching another open title

As the gray clouds arrived on Friday during the second round of the open championship, an ominous figure marched his way down 18 to Royal Portrush to place the ending touches in a Paursi, 65 years old. It was Brian Harman, once called “Haylake’s Butcher” games, 2023 open champion, methodically engraved another course of connections.

Two years ago, in Royal Liverpool, Georgia Bulldog shot 6th on Friday to win a five-shot lead. Here we were again. And Friday in Portrarian felt very similar. Harman found himself in real trouble only once-in-4 difficult-but he rose up e-pilgrimage for par and sailed to the club with the lead as the weather began to move.

“I think places like this force you to be a little more creative,” Harman said about his stellar game in link courses. “It’s not so much from an air attack. There are probably 10 different types of clubs, cuffs, drivers, forests you can hit out of your finger. There are different ways to attack in green, and there is almost always a hill that will kill a stroke coming to green. I don’t know, I just enjoy creativity and trying around.

Doing him on Friday “his way”, Harman made Royal Portrush, a course that has proven confusing, looks easy.

par-4 brutal first? Harman split the right road, hit his approach on three feet and made an open bird. Followed a bird in the PAR-5 second. He returned to the 3rd before making birds at 10 and 13. A bird locked in 18 put Harman in the club in eight under and in a position to win his second Claret container.

Harman’s victory in Haylake caught everyone by surprise. He was a heritage switch for a player who had been prevalent at every level before he arrived at PGA Tour. He had been a consistent professional, but lacked the big victory that many thoughts would always come during his impressive and collegial career.

When he finally split two years ago, Harman got a taste of who was always thought to be. Two years later, after a post and down victory, Harman is threatening another big title and is looking better than ever.

“I think I was quoted after saying that I would spend the rest of my life trying to get it able to feel this again because it is, it is the tip of our profession, great championships,” Harman said. “Whenever you can have a quarrel, have a chance to win, I mean, that’s what we’ve all worked on for our entire lives and you don’t get so much opportunity to do it.”

Harman has a victory under his belt this year at Valero Texas Open, but his latest shape has been scratched at best. He is the 26th in OWGR and 19 at FedEx Cup. Since his victory in Valero, he has completed T3 on RBC Heritage and eight in travelers. But he is not finished better than T36 in any of the diplomas and is going to a T50 finish in Scottish Open Genesis. Harman ranks 83rd in the blows won this season and is losing shocks in access this year.

But that Win in Haylake Harman gave something other than Claret south and a ticket back to the oldest golf’s major for decades. This allowed him to breathe and give himself a grace when things are not clicking.

“I really think it has probably made me more patient with myself, just knowing that you are capable of something like that,” Harman said. “Like you know it is there, and it would be really easy when things are not going to irritate. But it’s everything, hey, you start to see signs that things are going the right track and it’s okay.

When Harman left the field in Haylake, the British press developed a fascination with his love for hunting. This took Harman by surprise, but his love for hunting remains.

Over the weekend in northern Ireland, he will shoot a win that will get him from the unexpected category of the big winner to a twice champion golf player-is a win that will really change how Golf World Brian Harman views.

He will also be hunter and hunting this weekend in Portrait. This is a position with which the 38-year-old is pleased. He has only one concern after looking forward to a weekend that could change his golf heritage – his first Saturday.

“I’ll approach the weekend the same way,” Harman said. “The only thing I really worry about is the first ball of tee tomorrow, and then I will try to hit another near the flag. If not, go to the second hole. It is a very boring approach I take. I am not trying to be heroic or do anything crazy.
