Needless to say, golf fans were impressed Harman's performance.

He came into the tournament determined to take the win. He was leading the 2017 US Open after the first 54 holes but soon lost his lead. He was not about to let that happen again. Therefore, he focused on winning and when he did, fans went wild.

One fan tweeted:

"Well earned. Chapeau!"

Brian Harman sets several records as he cruises to Open Championship victory

Not only did Brian Harman win with ease, but he also set a few records along the way.

After the first two rounds, he tied the 36-hole record set by Phil Mickelson and Rory McIlroy for the lowest score at the Open Championship at -10. He also became only the third left-handed golfer to win the Open Championship after Mickelson and Bob Charles.

Needless to say, Harman was thrilled to secure a victory and his first-ever major win. He said via CNN:

“I’m going to have me a few pints from this trophy, I believe. This golf course was a real test. It was set up so great, even with the weather. Tto all the fans, all the nice words and all the people that were back home rooting me on, I appreciate it - thank you so much.”

With this, he currently sits in third place on the Ryder Cup points board. The top six golfers after the BMW Championship will be a part of the 2023 Ryder Cup team.
