    Well this looks like game over, another lost playoff it seems after a fluffed chip



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,997 ✭✭✭✭sligeach


    And that's the end of that, should be. Harrington has duffed his chip. Cejka won't 3 putt.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,775 ✭✭✭abff


    That was very disappointing.



  • Registered Users Posts: 312 ✭✭murtyd17


    Must be bolloxed after that



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,775 ✭✭✭abff


    O well! Wasn’t to be.

    Gutted for Harrington, hopefully third time lucky next year. He will be hurting after that one (as well as physically shattered).

    He really needs to start making hay while the sun shines.

    It is surely possible that he left the British Seniors title in N Berwick. He said himself that his missing a silly short putt could be down to tiredness. The facts are clear . He's nearly 52 -he has had a brilliant career on the regular tours but let's face it - that career is over -as in completed , finished , done. We know he is entitled to compete in the Open but what's wrong with saying -thanks folks but I'm now operating in a different arena which is my new priority.

    Who would be in the least bothered if he had passed on the Open to concentrate on this week ? He can add nothing to his regular tour CV . I honestly can't see why he persists in playing any regular tour events. He can certainly have another productive 3 to 5 years yet on the Champions Tour before more 'youngsters' come flooding on to spoil the party and that should be his main focus.

    Play The Open but skip The Scottish instead, last year he played 4 weeks in a row I remember which was madness

    Ahh I don't know, he's 52 not 82. I know they're almost all athletes now, but it's still just golf. I think he can still be competitive on some courses and the Open is probably the event that an older guy can potentially still win. I thought he said something recently along the lines of that he can still be competitive on the main tour for another 3/4 years, but he'll still be able to compete on the seniors in 10 years when he won't be able to on the main tour so he might as well do it. Probably wants to be the oldest winner on tour I guess.

    Totally agree that his CV won't really change if he adds one more win to it though, probably even if it was a Major.

    The legend that is Padraig Harrington cruising to another Champions tour victory. 5 shots clear of Bernhard Langer in the Timber Tech Championship with 2 holes to go in Florida.

    Bernhard having a mare on 18



  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 19,179 Mod ✭✭✭✭slave1


    Finished 7 clear in the end, but respect to Langer who came JT 2nd, would have had a look in for another win had Paddy not been there



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,024 ✭✭✭paulos53


    Another win on the Champions tour for Harrington.

    Finished birdie, double bogey, birdie, birdie on the final 4 holes for a 1 shot victory



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 266 ✭✭Eaglebridie 32


    Made it a little more difficult than it should have been but that’s Padraig in a nutshell, finished off well, great birdie on par 3 17th and clutch 8ft birdie on 18 after very poor drive.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,785 ✭✭✭CMcsporty


    Scheffler Shuffle through him off balance on 18

    Love his enthusiasm and how he still gets so excited even after all the wins over the years.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,024 ✭✭✭paulos53


    Back on the PGA Tour this week and providing some entertainment with a shot from his knees.

    Padraig making it tough for himself as always. 1 shot of ahead of Weir who is in the clubhouse. Didn't birdie the drivable par 4 16th and now has dumped his tee shot into deep rough on par 17th. Trying to win this for the 3rd consecutive year.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,705 ✭✭✭Speak Now


    Great up and down for par. Finds the fairway on 18, only a wedge to green.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,705 ✭✭✭Speak Now


    Tap in par for the win, well played Padraig.



  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 7,244 Mod ✭✭✭✭charlieIRL


    3 in a row isn’t it? Well done Padraig.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,082 ✭✭✭✭Mantis Toboggan


    Hopefully he can kick on and get a second senior Major, one is a poor return so far.

    Brilliant by Padraig. Some man. Hopefully he gets the plaudits he deserves .



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,705 ✭✭✭Speak Now


    10 senior Majors.

    1 win

    4 runners up (including 2 play offs lost)

    7 top 10s

    Worst finish T18.

    Out with David Toms and Y.E Yang at 1.13P.M IST on Thursday and 6.43P.M IST on Friday. Jody Flanagan also teeing up thanks to his runner up finish in last years Seniors U.S Open amateur.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,024 ✭✭✭paulos53


    As you mentioned Jody Fanagan, he joined up with his former Walker Cup partner for some practice yesterday.

    Disappointing to see Padraig bogey the last three holes today. He wasn’t going to win, but it turned a top ten finish into T16-20.
