Notably, the last two winners at Royal Liverpool, Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, also began with a two-round score of 132, providing an exciting historical precedent for Harman's performance. Brian Harman expressed his confidence in his putting performance over the past couple of days and aims to carry that momentum into the weekend. He acknowledged that there are still 36 holes to play, so he plans to rest and prepare for the upcoming rounds. Harman finds himself in an unusual position and admits he learned a tough lesson in the past. During the 2017 U.S. Open, he led the field by a stroke but couldn't maintain the pace, eventually finishing tied for second. Reflecting on that experience, Harman realized he might have overthought the situation and didn't prioritize rest and nutrition. This time, his focus for the weekend will be on getting enough sleep and eating well to stay on top. Over the past few years, Harman has consistently been near the top 10 in various PGA Tour events but hasn't won a tournament since 2017. He admits that he often thinks about this and finds it challenging to remain patient. Although he's unsure why he hasn't closed the deal, he remains determined and won't give up. Harman plans to keep working hard and hopes that one day, he'll secure another victory.
