Brian Harman’s Texas love affair continues near top of Austin Invitational leaderboard
AUSTIN, Texas — Brian Harman has enough reasons to feel at home in Texas. Now he has another one. An outdoorsman who hunts, fishes and manages several hundred acres of timberland back home in Georgia, has long seemed like a natural fit in the Lone Star State. He already owns a Texas-sized trophy from his victory at the 2025 Valero Texas Open. He has the cowboy boots that came with it, too.

What they're saying: Organist Gregory Eaton, who joined the Butler School's faculty in 2019, has worked to restore both the instrument and the program.

There's damage right in front of the organ," Eaton told reporters during the pipes' installation. Gregory Eaton plays the organ with its newly installed pipes.
