Open Championship 2023: Brian Harman chugs beer out of the claret jug, is officially the Champion Golfer of the Year now

Open Championship 2023: Diary from Hoylake on day four

Open Championship 2023: The ‘Moneyball’ driving strategy that won Brian Harman the claret jug

Harman has devised an entire strategy around what he can do best: win around the corners. It has led to 12-year career on the PGA Tour and wins at every level he’s played. And now, an Open championship victory.

Open Championship 2023: Brian Harman was due, and golf was due for a dud

Respect for Brian Harman, for who he is and what he did, is not mutually exclusive from the fact that this Open lacked juice.

Open Championship 2023: It’s the same story for Rory McIlroy at majors of late, and it’s starting to get old

Beneath that veneer of positivity, there must surely linger some doubt. What does the Belfast boy need to do to turn things round? It is obvious: he needs to putt better.

Open Championship 2023: Two mind-bending stats from Brian Harman’s win at Hoylake

Harman did not manhandle the course with brute strength or booming drives. Rather, he plodded his way around carefully, methodically, and masterfully.

Open Championship 2023: Brian Harman conquers waggles, rain and Royal Liverpool to capture claret jug

It was a week that every professional golfer hopes to have – one where you’re in control of all facets of your game during a four-day span on the game’s biggest stage where everything seems as easy as ever.

Open Championship 2023: The quirky feature behind Hoylake’s greatest holes

Hoylake is a venue known perhaps as much for its legacy of world-class winners as it is for its historically insidious holes where out-of-bounds plays a somewhat outsized role.
