It was a dog gone dominant weekend for former Georgia Bulldogs at Royal Liverpool.
Brian Harman hadn’t won on the PGA Tour in nearly six years, and entered the Open sporting 175-1 odds of hoisting the Claret Jug. But the Savannah native staked himself to a five shot lead through two rounds with an eagle on 18 Friday, then putted well all through the weekend to cruise to victory. Harman’s -13 total was six shots better than a quartet of pros that included fellow ‘Dawg Sepp Straka. I’m not Dan Jenkins, but I know a little golf history, and it’s the first time I’m aware of two college teammates finishing 1-2 at the Open Championship.
