AUGUSTA, Ga. (WTOC) - Brian Harman hasn’t had much luck over his last three Masters appearances, but a one-under 71 on Thursday could see the start to a big weekend. “This place baits me into trying to be something that I’m not,” Harman said following his round. “The fairways look wide, but they’re really not that wide. You feel like you have to elevate the ball into the greens, but I don’t. If I strike a ball like I’m supposed to, I can get it up there close.
