Open Championship: Brian Harman earns Kirby Smart seal of approval


Georgia Bulldogs head soccer coach Kirby Sensible led his staff to back-to-back nationwide titles. Now he’s rooting for fellow Dawgs Brian Harman, or Sepp Straka, to shut the deal on the 151st Open Championship.

After Harman’s spherical on Saturday, Sensible tweeted him and Straka to present them some love.

“Good luck tomorrow to @harmanbrian and @seppstraka! We have to get the Claret Jug between the hedges this fall,” Sensible mentioned.

Harman held a 5-shot lead heading into Sunday’s spherical, and Straka sat seven photographs behind him. Straka might not chase down Harman, however having two Bulldogs within the high 5 can be fairly the assertion.

Sensible graduated from Georgia within the 90s and took over the pinnacle teaching job in 2016. The top coach can be an avid golfer who loves hitting the course as typically as he can.

Since attending to Athens, Sensible has led the Bulldogs to back-to-back nationwide championships in 2021 and 2022. Now he’s sending that good juju to England.

If Harman can pull it off, Athens would go loopy to see the Claret Jug this fall. Golf is a staple within the Peach State, and so many Georgia followers love following the PGA Tour “Dawgs.”

If Harman finishes the drill, he would change into the primary Georgia Bulldog to win an Open Championship and the second to win a significant. Bubba Watson has two Masters titles underneath his belt.

Athens is called the Traditional Metropolis, but when Harman wins the Open, it would give Georgia yet one more championship. So it may be time to go from Traditional to Championship Metropolis.
