"I'm very thankful that it was this week" - Brian Harman on winning the 2023 British Open
Brian Harman waited for over six years to get his third win on the PGA Tour. Despite plenty of top-10s, he was never able to cross the final line. As per Harman, he always had the belief that he could win again. However, it was taking a lot of time, and it wasn't getting any younger.
He told the media:
"It's just when it takes so much time, it's hard not to let your mind falter, like maybe I'm not winning again. I'm 36 years old. Game is getting younger. All these young guys coming out, hit it a mile, and they're all ready to win. Like when is it going to be my turn again."
Harman said it was hard to deal with the fact that he had the most top-10s since 2017 without a win until this week.
He added:
"That's a lot of times where you get done, you're like, 'Dammit, man, I had that one; it just didn't happen for whatever reason.'
"To come out and put a performance like that together, like start to finish, just had a lot of control. I don't know why this week, but I'm very thankful that it was this week."
