Where are you getting all that from ?



“It built a deep respect for animals,” Harman said. “What they provide. They are a renewable resource. Being able to know where your meat comes from is important to me, being able to take care of the animal once you’ve killed it shows immense respect to the animal.

“I am not a fan of people who kill for sport. I enjoy hunting but I also enjoy taking care of the animal after the fact and helping to feed my family with it.”

Ha ha ha that is just hilarious. He clearly glorifies in the kill by his posturing and sharing of images. He has zero respect as he chooses to use a weapon that has the risk of inaccuracy.

I know you like to believe everything you read on the internet that fits your narrative, but really...

What a day.

Verstappen runs away at the F1.

Harman is running away with the Open.

It's never stopped raining.

And here you are trying to start yet another argument on yet another thread.

And you are definitely stalking Mel Smooth.

Since the Open became a fully contested major in 1960, it would have had the reputation of being the best at finding great champions. And few journeymen 'spoiling' a major. The USPGA was the undisputed champion for finding the one hit wonder jumpers from the field winners. But. Have those roles reversed somewhat ?

I don't have emotional investment in any professional golfer, I don’t know them to form any emotional bond.

I am a fan of golf and love to see golf played well on difficult courses and potentially difficult conditions.

Harman has done what every golfer set out to do this week but he just done it better than the others.

There are over 50 golfers out there (or been out there) so there’s got to be a fair few you aren’t “emotionally invested in”.
He's played well but generally speaking I'm more emotionally invested in European golfers than American ones.
I'm perfectly happy that the golfer who has played the best golf this week is winning but it is a lot less interesting than most Opens because of the lack of uncertainty in the outcome.

The tragedy is, that the chasing pack was densely packed full of high quality options. If it werent for Harmon, it would have been a hell of a shoot out.

Does nothing but 21 in the world and won multiple events

Anyone that doesn’t win is a bottler ?!

Pretty pathetic don’t you think
He really hasn't won much given how overrated he is by most people. Never won in America. One win in the last 3 and a half years. Yet every time a major comes round people act like he's one of the favourites. Nice guy, but too nice I think - nice guys finish last and all that.

Harman deserves the win, absolutely no doubt about that. He’s been 4-5 shots clear for 2 days and nobody else come close to mounting any sort of sustained challenge.

However, he’s a …. for choosing to hunt and kill animals for fun. Yes he eats them, great, no waste. But it takes a certain type of weirdo to take pleasure in killing an animal when you can just buy it like everyone else does.
