Brian Harman Says Colonial Is a “Thinking Man’s Course” [E8zh2p0elPJ]
Brian Harman reacts after shooting a 4-under 66 in the second round of the 2026 Charles Schwab Challenge at Colonial Country Club. Harman says his ball-striking has been strong this week and explains that he felt he let an opportunity slip at the PGA Championship because his game was not quite sharp enough. After a week at home, he is encouraged to see the work he has been doing start to show at Colonial. He also opens up on a frustrating season, despite making a long run of cuts, saying he has shot some very low scores but has not yet been able to put together a complete 72-hole tournament. Harman explains why he loves Colonial, calling it a “thinking man’s course” where strategy off the tee matters, the fairways get harder to hold as they firm up, and players must be able to work the ball both ways. In an era of speed and power, Harman says he knows who he is, leans on his strengths, and believes that when the course and conditions are right, he can be a real problem.
