Brian Harman's fondness for hunting has garnered him the nicknames 'Brian the Butcher', the 'Butcher of Hoylake', and the 'Big Game Hunter' by a number of outlets this week.

Much like the patience and determination one needs as a hunter, Harman was able to stick to playing his game and kept the five shot lead he had over Cameron Young to win his first major at Royal Liverpool.

After coming up just short at the 2017 US Open at Erin Hills in Wisconsin, the 36-year-old Harman - the shortest player on the PGA Tour at 5-foot-7 - did not let his chance at writing his name on golf history slip away again.
