“Watch Harman’s Winning Final Round at Royal Liverpool: The Open Championship Title Defense at Royal Troon”

American golfer Brian Harman is gearing up to defend his Open Championship title at Royal Troon in July, despite initially hating links golf. Harman, who won by six shots at Royal Liverpool last year, only went into two bunkers all week, showcasing his skill at avoiding sand traps.

Harman admitted that his first experience with links golf at Prestwick was a tough one, but he eventually fell in love with the challenging nature of the game. He emphasized the importance of being able to hit every type of golf shot and the strategic aspect of the game, which he finds refreshing compared to other tournaments.

During his winning final round at Royal Liverpool, Harman faced some hostility from the crowd, receiving abuse and boos from fans. However, he found the majority of fans at The Open to be knowledgeable and a joy to play in front of. Despite the potential for hostility at Royal Troon, Harman remains focused and ready for whatever comes his way.

With 10,000 fewer fans expected at Royal Troon this year, the 152nd Championship is set to be a sell-out with 250,000 spectators, a record for an Open staged in Scotland outside of St Andrews. Harman is looking forward to the challenge and is prepared to defend his title against the best in the world.
