University of Georgia alum Brian Harman claimed his fourth PGA Tour victory at the Valero Texas Open with a total score of 9-under-par 279. Harman dedicated his win to Cathy Dowdy, a family friend who saved his son from a rip current and has been in a coma since October. Despite challenging conditions with wind gusts reaching up to 30 mph, Harman’s final-round 75 secured him a three-stroke win over runner-up Ryan Gerard. This victory was especially meaningful for Harman after capturing his first major at the 2023 Open Championship. Harman expressed pride in his ability to handle the difficult conditions and come out on top. Runner-up Ryan Gerard reflected on the valuable lessons learned from competing on golf’s development tours, emphasizing the depth of talent within the professional golf world. Harman, a proud University of Georgia graduate, has not only won four PGA Tour titles but has also represented Team USA in prestigious events such as the Ryder Cup, Presidents Cup, Walker Cup, and Arnold Palmer Cup. His dedication, skill, and success continue to shine on golf’s biggest stages, making this recent victory at the Valero Texas Open even more special.
