Brian Harman
Joint sixth at St Andrews last July – good enough to guarantee an instant return to the Championship - represented left-hander Harman’s best finish in a major since the 2017 US Open.

Joint sixth at St Andrews last July – good enough to guarantee an instant return to the Championship - represented left-hander Harman’s best finish in a major since the 2017 US Open.

He led by one with a round to go at Erin Hills, but was then overtaken by Brooks Koepka and had to settle for the joint runners-up spot alongside Hideki Matsuyama.

That same season saw him win the Wells Fargo Championship and by the following January he stood a career-high 20th in the world. Was 2003 US junior champion and suffered only one defeat at the 2005 and 2009 Walker Cups.

His first PGA Tour victory was in the 2014 John Deere Classic, which gave him the final exempt spot in The Open at Royal Liverpool a week later.

Tied for third at the 2021 Players Championship, two strokes behind winner Justin Thomas, and two weeks later was a quarter-finalist in the WGC-Dell Match Play, where he beat Masters champions Bubba Watson and Matsuyama.

He was also only one shot behind halfway leader Justin Rose in the 2021 Masters, but slipped back to joint 12th. Also had top 20 finishes in the US Open and Open that season.
