Brian Harman Playing The Dark-Horse Role Again At The Players
9 months agoDespite a year of phenomenal firsts for Brian Harman in 2023, the fanfare has not yet reached fever pitch for the Georgia Bulldog to this point in the New Year. Harman still feels like a man still on the precipice of breaking through the glass ceiling of superstardom, and weeks like this in Ponte Vedra present prime opportunities for him to raise that profile. Harman has recorded three top-10 finishes over his last eight starts here at Sawgrass, and his combination of precision off of the tee and touch on and around the greens make him one of the premier course fits on these positional venues. Couple that historic prowess on this layout with the best iron week he's had in eight months last week (+5.6 SG: APP), and Harman seems to be checking an awful lot of boxes for a guy coming into the week without much attention.
