THE GAME

Harman tames Hoylake to secure maiden Major

- Nick Bonfield and David Taylor

Congratulations on winning The Open. Did you always know you had a Major in you?

I've always had a self-belief that I could do something like this. It's just when it takes so much time, it's hard not to let your mind falter. I'm 36 years old and the game is getting younger. I think someone mentioned I've had more top-tens than anyone since 2017 - that's a lot of times where you're like, 'dammit man, I had that one.' I don't know why it happened now, but I'm very thankful.
