HOYLAKE, England : Brian Harman, a keen hunter back home in Georgia, simply refused to allow himself to fall prey to the world's leading golfers as he showed nerves of steel to win the British Open on Sunday.
Rory McIlroy and Jon Rahm, the world numbers two and three, were among a pack of players who failed to reel Harman in, squandering opportunities when the world number 26 wobbled on a couple of occasions. Two more birdies followed on an error-free back nine to complete a round of 69 and restore his five-shot advantage.
The diminutive left-hander calmly chipped his ball out, however, and sank a par putt before hugging his caddy, removing his cap and acknowledging the applause from the packed stands.
