Brian Harman turned back every challenge in the British Open, from big names to bad weather, and took his place among major champions Sunday with a victory that was never seriously in doubt at Royal Liverpool.
Harman twice responded to a rare bogey with back-to-back birdies, leaving everyone else playing for second. He closed with a 1-under 70, making an 8-foot par putt on the last hole for a six-shot victory.
Masters champion Jon Rahm birdied his last hole for a 70 to make it a four-way tie for second place with Tom Kim , Sepp Straka and Jason Day ."He won by six, so there's nothing really any of us could have done," Rahm said. "I doubled down on my process and I know it's boring and it is not flashy," Harman said. "But, until hitting that last bunker shot, I have not thought about winning the tournament."
Harman drained a 15-foot birdie putt on the par-3 sixth, a 25-foot birdie putt on the next hole and he was on his way. McIlroy was one shot better each round -- 71-70-69-68 -- to tie for sixth with Emiliano Grillo . That wasn't nearly enough to match a performance like Harman delivered.
