Padraig Harrington clinched the US Senior Open title at the Broadmoor in Colorado Springs, winning by a shot after a strategic decision on the 72nd hole. Faced with critical choices, Harrington was guided by his caddie and experiences shared by Hale Irwin. He opted to aim for the pin rather than play conservatively, leading to a successful shot that set him up for victory. Cink’s struggle with long putts highlighted Harrington’s strategic advantage, allowing him to savor victory with family in attendance, emphasizing the joy of winning even after a fulfilling career.
I said, look, if I birdie this hole, I win... Ronan then said something to me, reminded me of... Hale Irwin... always hit the shot you would hit if you're one shot behind.
It skipped up there one bounce, stopped... I couldn't have been close enough... so I was very happy to have two to win from six feet.
Winning never gets old, and Harrington is loving life as a senior golfer.
I think it made the decision, but it gave me clarity to that decision that I was confident that I was doing the right thing.
