Former Georgia golfer Brian Harman started Sunday with a one-shot lead at the U.S. Open and would play the final round well, but it wasn’t enough to hold off the red-hot Brooks Koepka, who would shoot a 67 and win his first major with a -16.
Harman finished with a final round of 72 and tied for second with Hideki Matsuyama at -12 overall in the tournament.
Paired with former Alabama golfer Justin Thomas in the final group, Harman gave Koepka a little breathing room with back-to-back bogeys on No. 12 and No. 13.
