Pádraig Harrington won his second Senior Major of the season at the ISPS HANDA Senior Open.
Pádraig Harrington became the fifth player in history to win both The Open Championship and the ISPS HANDA Senior Open as he cruised to a three-shot victory in Europe’s only Senior Major Championship at Sunningdale.
The Irishman held a two-shot overnight lead, but he quickly extended that as he got off to a dream start with an eagle at the first and maintained his command to sign for a closing three-under-par 67.
On another day of low scoring over the Old Course, he carded an eagle, three birdies and two bogeys to reach a winning total of 16 under par, with fellow former Ryder Cup Captain Thomas Bjørn and American Justin Leonard locked in a tie for second.
Harrington joins Bob Charles, Gary Player, Tom Watson and Darren Clarke as a winner of the Claret Jug and the Senior Open trophy.
