Brian Harman just had an Open Championship win to remember at a rainy Royal Liverpool. Not only did the veteran golfer win his first-ever major, he also did so by winning a dominant six strokes over Sepp Straka in second place. Per ESPN, he’s the first American golfer to win The Open by at least six strokes since Tiger Woods … over 20 years ago!
For someone with an unconventional waggle and place to store his gloves, Harman had a delightful weekend.
It’s a weekend that seemingly almost none of the betting market saw coming in advance. How, you might ask?
A mere ONE PERCENT of the pre-tournament tickets were on Harman to win The Open. Because it bears repeating: ONE PERCENT.

Congratulations if you’re one of the lucky few who saw Harman prevailing. If you’re licking your wounds and getting your bearings, rest assured — you’re not alone.
