The Open Championship is the oldest tournament in professional golf, and its list of winners is long and varied. From game legends like Harry Vardon and Bobby Jones to modern-day stars like Jordan Spieth and Rory McIlroy, Claret Jug has some legendary names etched in it.
On Sunday at Royal Liverpool, one lucky golfer will add his name to the list.
Brian Harman leads the way with five strokes in the 12-under, but there’s plenty of firepower in the chase. Cameron Young will play alongside him in the final duet, while John Rahm and Victor Hovland will star in the penultimate duet.
