Brian Harman’s first Open came at Royal Liverpool in 2014 courtesy of a win at the John Deere, now he’s in double figures under par and leading the Championship. The 36-year-old had a flawless round, with four straight birdies from the 2nd and then capping it all off with a closing eagle, all of which added up to a 65.
In the middle of all that there were some memorable par saves, most notably at the 12th when he had to play his second shot backwards from sand before chipping in for a four. At the 18th he put together his two best swings of the day – a driver and 5-iron – before rolling in a 15-foot putt.
