At Royal Liverpool, Brian Harman produced an exhibition of golf which culminated in a six-shot victory. Not only was he just the sixth American to claim The Open by six shots or more, but the win was his first Major scalp.

Harman, who managed to keep the crowd mute for the majority of the weekend, was superb for the whole four days and never looked like giving up his lead, especially with his putter in red-hot form.

Following the biggest win of his career, social media reacted as only they know how, with many sending messages of congratulations to the 36-year-old, who revealed a smattering of boos inspired him to Major glory.

First things first, here's the winning moment...

Along with the victory, there was lots of reactions to Harman's win.
