Brian Harman, The Open Champion! The Bulldogs capture another victory as former UGA golfer and current St. Simons Island resident Brian Harman won the illustrious major by a remarkable 6 strokes.
Harman came into the tournament ranked 26th in the world and as a substantial underdog to lift the Claret Jug. By the end of the tournament, not only did the Savannah native win but did so by the largest margin of victory since Tiger Woods in 2000 when he won by 8 strokes.
The Bulldog alum posted scores of 67-65-69-70 across the four-day period, never allowing another golfer to pull within striking distance.
