SAVANNAH, GA (WTOC) - Savannah native Brian Harman wins the Wells Fargo Championship.
The Savannian has been looking for his first PGA Tour win in two years. He found himself in a three way tie for the lead with the world number one player in the World, South Carolina's Dustin Johnson.
"Yeah it's a lot of emotion for sure," said Harman. "I have been fighting really hard. I thought I had a good chance a couple weeks ago at Harbour Town. Really wanted that one and I've been working really hard, this feels really good. Having a little bit more belief in myself and just trusting that I'm pretty good at what I do and just trying to stay in the moment and do the best that I can."
Brian Harman's mom, Nancy recalls having a conversation with her son as an Amateur when he told her, "Mom, I never want to win a golf tournament because I guy miss a putt, I want to win because I made one." Well Brian and Nancy Harmon can take ease in knowing that's exactly how things happened today.
The new Dad was joined by his baby girl Cooper and wife Kelly, his dad Eric on a fishing trip today while mom Nancy watched it happen right here at home in Savannah.
"So I'm on a zip line trip in North Georgia," said Nancy Harman. "My husband. My husband is in North Carolina fishing. I'm racing home. I got home and he is on the 11th hole. I got to see holes 12 through 18 in person, on TV, sitting here by myself. Watching him win. We there singing and dancing and jumping all around."
When asked, "in your living room?" She replied, "Absolutley! Yep, jumping for joy and of course my cell phone lit up and it already lit up before that but, the phone is ringing, my cell phone is going off. It was spectacular."
When asked, "your a mom, what are you going to say to him tonight when you talk to him?" Harman replied, "Honey, we are so proud of you."
This is his 2nd win on the PGA Tour. His first coming in 2014 at the John Deer Classic.
He currently ranks 36th in the Fed Ex Cup standings, this win is sure to bump him up to the top 10 in those rankings.
