Money. Who gets it? Who won’t? Who supplies it? All serious subjects these days. All dominating discussion.
But it’s still OK to laugh occasionally.
To that end, we present a moment featuring Brian Harman. He’d been playing well at this week’s Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass, shooting seven-under 65 during the second round and eight-under 64 during the third, after an opening 72. He vaulted into contention. On Saturday, reporters asked to talk to him.
And then came this exchange, started by a reporter:
“And you’re a major champion, you’re a grown man, but Thursday …”
“Damn right,” Harman laughed.
Good stuff. Should you be interested, the question was whether he felt demoralized after his first round, when playing partner Wyndham Clark also beat him by seven — and Harman said he didn’t.
OK, back to the money.
