Virtual British Open champ Harman says patience from hunting is key

HOYLAKE, United Kingdom—British Open runaway leader Brian Harman says hunting has taught him “patience” and “strategy” as he closes in on his first major win at the Royal Liverpool Golf Club.

The American, nicknamed the “Butcher of Hoylake” because of his fondness for hunting, is 12 under par after three rounds, five clear of compatriot Cameron Young.

The 36-year-old, a runner-up at the 2017 US Open, is a two-time winner on the US PGA Tour but has not lifted a trophy for six years.

Harman admitted after his two-under-par 69 on Saturday that he had envisioned becoming a major winner.

“I’ve thought about winning majors for my whole entire life,” he said. “It’s the whole reason

I work as hard as I do and why I practise as much as I do and why I sacrifice as much as I do.

“Tomorrow if that’s going to come to fruition for me, it has to be all about the golf.”

The world number 26 said hunting at home in America had taught him “patience and the strategy” for golf.

“When I go out turkey hunting I can spend all day out there,” he said. “Hunting is something else that I do that makes me lose track of time.

“We’ve been on some really cool elk hunts out in Colorado, really tough hunting, tons of elevation, and then after we harvest the animal.”

He added: “I enjoy putting meat in the freezer. We eat wild meat a lot at home.”

Harman, who comes from the state of Georgia, said he was taught how to hunt as a young boy. “My dad used to take me hunting,” he said. “We always made it a point that I knew how to skin a deer when I was eight years old... I enjoy it start to finish.” AFP

LEG winners TNT and Barangay Ginebra face each other early in the resumption of the PBA 3x3 First Conference Season 3 Monday at the Ayala Mall Circuit.

The Triple Giga and the Kings are bunched in Pool A along with Meralco, and are poised to tangle right in the opening day of Leg 4.

The TNT-Ginebra tussle is set at 1:50 p.m. in the sixth out of the 13 matches on board in the first day of pool play.

The Kings won the first two legs of the conference, but was denied by the Tropang Giga the distinction of being the first team to win three straight leg titles when they ousted them in the quarterfinals last week, 21-19. TNT proceeded to win the crown by beating Pioneer Elastoseal, 17-13.

The Triple Giga will return the trio of Almond Vosotros, Lervin Flores, and Samboy De Leon, but inserted Ping Exciminiano in the roster in liue of Gryann Mendoza.

The Kings tapped anew Kim Aurin, Ralph Salcedo, and Raphael Cu, and replaced JJ Espanoila with John Ubalde.

As runner up in Leg 3, Pioneer leads Pool B and is joined by Wilcon Depot, Blackwater Smooth Razor, and Northport.

Cavitex, third placer each in the first three legs, banners Pool C together with San Miguel, Purefoods, and Terrafirma.

The Beermen and Titans open hostilities at 10:30 a.m.

The top three teams in Pool B and C will advance on Tuesday’s knockout stage along with the top two teams in Pool A. Leg champion re- ceives the P100,000 prize purse.
