Brian Harman does not overpower golf courses. He hasn’t collected a passel of major championships—in fact, he had won only three tour titles when the Open championship began at Royal Liverpool a week ago—but if you took the time to review past championships in the oldest golf tournament in existence, you would be moved to ask this question.
With the 54-hole lead, has any past champion played a more solid round of golf in the heralded British championship or any major, perhaps? Harman was as steady as Jack Nicklaus, Tom Watson, Arnold Palmer, Lee Trevino, Peter Thomson, and all the great champions of our time.
