Congrats to Brian Harman on winning his first major by a commanding 6 shots! At 5 feet 7 and 155 pounds he was easily the smallest man in the field. That is why golf is such a great game. You can compete and win against much larger stronger men with skill and mental toughness.

 
Gary Player was a little shorter and Ian Woosnam of Wales was only around 5 cms tall which is giant size to that tribe . Five feet four inches actually .
 
He is not a big guy, but he can out-putt everyone. And he did. Congrats to Brian Harman, I thought Rahm might make a run after he scorched the course on Saturday, but I think the weather changed that.
 
Speaking of having a clue, you didn't know that they merged with the PGA?

If this was a PGA event, it was a LIV event.

Go back to your sucking.
Still does not excuse your foul mouth and your role as premier site Troll-- excluding Winkle who has mental health problems .

He's 36 years old too. Lotta great perks came with the Claret Jug and 1st place prize money. Besides exemption from qualifying for future Open Championships, he got a 5 year exemption for the Masters, US Open and PGA Championships and exemptions for a number of Invitational tournaments next year.

I was happy to see an average length driver (at best) wax the field in The Open. Golf shouldn't just be about the guys bombing it 350 yards.
 
It's not like he came out of left field either. He played really good at the start of the season and in the last 3 tournaments before The Open.
He had an interesting comment during a post-victory interview. The question was after his second bogey of the final round, how were you able to refocus? He said someone in the gallery yelled "Harmon you haven't got the stones for this!" He said that was all he needed to get back on track. LOL.

He had a legitimate shot at winning The Players Championship yesterday too.
