OT: British Open Sunday

Terrible weather at Royal Liverpool for the last day of the British Open.  American Brian Harman has a five-stroke lead with six holes to play.  Barring an epic collapse - even worse than Adam Scott's in 2012 - it seems like it is his for the taking.

Despite it being “boring” I personally was glad to see Harman dominate.  It sounds like locals in the crowd were harassing him all week.

My guess is they were not happy with an American coming in there and dominating their asses.  Especially a 5 foot 5 bald lefty from Georgia.

Either way, Harman seems like a good dude and I was happy to see him win.

Harman's post tourney interviews and comments were great.   His play was excellent throughout the week - and, he putted "beyond belief".   His accuracy off the tee was ranked first this week - with an average driving distance of 285.   On the greens, he averaged 1.5 putts / hole - which was second among all players who made the cut.

He's quite an example of a journeyman - that had a lot of success as an amateur - some early success on the Tour - and, has had to "fight" against the younger players coming up - that are much bigger - and hit it longer. 

Exceptional course management across the pond.   And, I think a reporter asked Rahm if he thought Harman was "lucky" - or something similar.   Rahm replied - "He won by six strokes.  No, it wasn't luck.  He won by six - he played better than everyone else."
