HOYLAKE, England : Runaway Open leader Brian Harman spends his spare time hunting turkeys back home in Georgia, and his aim has been true and straight while bagging birdies and eagles at Royal Liverpool.
Starting with a five-stroke lead, he ended the day in the same position on 12 under after a round of 69, with compatriot Cameron Young his closest pursuer on seven under. Asked if the calmness needed to hunt animals helped him during his quest for the biggest trophy of his career, Harman said"patience and strategy" were common attributes.
Harman, who was tied for sixth at St Andrews last year, shook off his pursuers on Saturday with birdies at the fifth, ninth, 12th and 13th and then made several ice-cool par putts to dishearten those cheering on his playing partner, local favourite Tommy Fleetwood.
