Ireland’s Padraig Harrington has won the US Senior Open for a record-equalling third time at Scioto Country Club in Ohio.<\/p>\n
Harrington joins Miller Barber as the only player to win the senior major for a third time as he added to triumphs in 2022 and 2025. <\/p>\n
The 54-year-old won by four strokes ahead of home favourite Stewart Cink, who held a one-shot advantage heading into the final round.<\/p>\n
However, Harrington shot four under over the final 18 holes to end the competition on 12 under, while Cink faded over the closing round.<\/p>\n
England’s Ian Poulter was fourth, seven shots behind Harrington, while Welshman Jamie Donaldson was tied for fifth and Northern Ireland’s Darren Clarke tied for eighth on three under for the tournament. <\/p>\n
“When I came out here four years ago I was surprised how big a tournament it was, it’s like playing an old major,” Harrington told the USGA after his success.<\/p>\n
“It’s very rare for me to win a tournament where it is actually boring coming down the stretch, normally there is some drama but there wasn’t much excitement today, which is nice for me.”<\/p>\n
It was Harrington’s fourth senior major after he also lifted the Senior Open Championship last year.<\/p>\n
Harrington won the Open Championship in 2007 and 2008, the same year he also won the PGA Championship.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ireland’s Padraig Harrington has won the US Senior Open for a record-equalling third time at Scioto Country Club…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":675563,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[5904,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-679410","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-golf","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/679410","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=679410"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/679410\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/675563"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=679410"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=679410"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=679410"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
