Harrington rallies from five shots back to defend title on PGA Champions Tour

Harrington hit five birdies and an eagle in his final seven holes to retain his title at the Dick’s Sporting Goods Open

PÁDRAIG HARRINGTON RALLIED from five shots behind in the final round of the Dick’s Sporting Goods Open to defend his title, and capture his first PGA Tour Champions victory of the season.

Harrington, who triumphed at this tournament last year, hit five birdies and an eagle in his last seven holes to retain his crown in a blistering run to the finish in upstate New York. He also had four birdies on the front nine along with bogeys on the four and seventh holes.

His nine-under 63 saw him finish on 18-under overall, one shot ahead of American Joe Durant in the end. Ernie Els finished one shot further back on 16-under and Darren Clarke finished on 14-under.

Harrington is the first player to go back-to-back at the Dick’s Sporting Goods Open.

The Dubliner continues his strong form that saw him secure a top-30 finish at last week’s US Open, into which he gained entry as 2022 US Senior Open champion.

He will now turn his attention to defending that title next week, and will carry some considerable winning momentum into that tournament.

    Hope the staff member is not too seriously injured. I used to live on that road and knew staff there. Something happened there last Friday too.

    Hope she is ok . Last week raid on our local post office thank god no one was seriously injured but seriously raises security issues for the staff when bullet proof glass can be not that with a lump hammer .third raid for the same staff god love them . What saddened me was the lack of compassion the company take towards their staff with all staff expected to turn up for work the following morning and early to balance the tills . Never mind your cuts and bruises be in tomorrow and early at that ! Shame on an post !
