Brian Harman has a chance to win his first career major. It would be a massive career leap for Harman. What does Harman think of having a chance to win a major?
You’d be foolish not to envision, and I’ve thought about winning majors for my whole entire life. It’s the whole reason I work as hard as I do and why I practice as much as I do and why I sacrifice as much as I do. Tomorrow if that’s going to come to fruition for me, it has to be all about the golf. It has to be execution and just staying in the moment.
Harman has won two career PGA Tour events, but has remained consistent throughout the years. He has made the FedEx Cup playoffs for 12 consecutive years.
Harman is set to tee off in the final round at 9:15 a.m. ET.
