P\u00e1draig Harrington has become just the second player to win the US Senior Open three times after blitzing the field with a birdie barrage at Scioto Coutry Club in Columbus, Ohio.<\/p>\n
Only Miller Barber, in 1985, has won three times but Harrington’s Saturday salvo kept him in the running to add to his 2022 and 2025 titles – and he backed it up with some superb Sunday play.<\/p>\n
After an excellent round of 66 on day three got him within one of the Stewart Cink’s lead, the Dubliner wasted to no time grabbing top spot right out the gate with birdies on the first two holes while his American playing partner bogeyed the second and third.<\/p>\n
Harrington made it matching weekend 66s with a classic final round that included five birdies and just the one dropped shot all day.<\/p>\n
The four-time Senior major champion showed all his experience to par the last six holes – he would play his last dozen holes in three-under – and wrap up a record-setting third US Senior Open.<\/p>\n
Cink finished four shots back second with his fellow American George McNeill third and England’s Ian Poulter in fourth position.<\/p>\n
Dungannon man Darren Clarke shot a final-round 70 to finish on three-under-par overall while Portrush’s Chris Devlin ended his week on even par overall after a fourth-round 71.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"P\u00e1draig Harrington has become just the second player to win the US Senior Open three times after blitzing…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":745118,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[71],"tags":[427,99],"class_list":["post-745117","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-golf","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/745117","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=745117"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/745117\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/745118"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=745117"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=745117"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=745117"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
