Former Georgia golf alums Brian Harmon and Chris Kirk are high on the leaderboard of The Players Championship headed into Sunday’s final round.
Harmon is currently tied for fifth at 9-under par and just 4 shots behind leader Lee Westwood at 13-under-par through three rounds.
The Savannah, Ga., native was a three-time 2nd team All-American selection at Georgia before turning pro in 2009. Harmon is through the first hole and is even-par on the day so far. Harmon finished tied for 8th at The Players Championship in 2015 and 2019.
Kirk is currently tied for 13th at 7-under-par and 6 shots off the leader Westwood. The Knoxville, Tenn., native is one stroke over par on the day through two holes. Kirk’s best finishes at The Players Championship were in 2013 and 2015, where he tied for 13th and in 2017, he finished tied for 12th.
Georgia has always been well represented on Tour and Harmon and Kirk are just the latest examples. UGA had 10 players in the field of The Players Championship this week and now two find themselves in contention on a beautiful Sunday in Palm Valley, Florida.
