Brian Harman's dominant Open win garners praise on Twitter - ESPN

Brian Harman is the 2023 Open Championship winner.

The 36-year-old American, currently ranked 26th in the world, dominated from Friday onward, grabbing a 5-stroke lead in the second round and never relinquishing it. This is Harman's first major title. He's also the oldest first-time major champion since Sergio Garcia (at 37) won the Masters in 2017.

Harman's surprising win provoked a lot of reaction on social media, including from his fellow Georgia Bulldogs alumni as well as football coach Kirby Smart.
